Social Security Disability Claim
If you suffered an
industrial injury while working at a factory, plant, refinery, or while aboard a commercial
ship or offshore drilling rig, and the injury has left you disabled, you
may be entitled to Social Security benefits in addition to seeking other
forms of relief. An experienced
industrial injury lawyer at Arnold & Itkin LLP can review your case and map out the best strategy
for you and your family. We want to make sure you receive the compensation
that you deserve.
Federal Relief for Disabilities
If you can no longer work due to a disability, the federal government offers
two forms of relief:
- Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
To qualify for Social Security benefits, you must have a physical or mental
impairment, or a combination of both, and you must be able to show that
the disability has lasted for at least 12 months or is expected to last
for that period of time or longer. You must also be unable to work or
earn less than $900 per month.
