Our Evansville, Indianapolis, and Louisville Social Security Disability Attorneys Can Help You

You probably know about the Social Security benefits that are available once you retire from work. However, we see many disabled individuals at our Evansville, Indianapolis, and Louisville law offices who do not know that Social Security disability benefits are available for those who are disabled and unable to work and support themselves. Social Security is an insurance system designed to help with financial hardships throughout your life, not just at retirement. If you are physically or mentally disabled and unable to work, you may qualify for Social Security disability benefits, regardless of your age.

Although it costs nothing to apply for Social Security disability, the process can be daunting. At Gerling Law in Louisville, Evansville, and Indianapolis, our Social Security disability attorneys can help you through the process and build a case to help you collect the benefits you deserve to compensate for your disability.

Social Security Disability Eligibility

At Gerling Law, we commonly help victims of serious personal injuries who are unable to return to work and, therefore, unable to support themselves. Auto accidents, slip and fall accidents, and even medical malpractice can cause injuries that can lead to permanent disability. The attorneys at our law offices in Evansville, Indianapolis, and Louisville help these individuals get the Social Security disability benefits they deserve.

Our Louisville, Evansville, and Indianapolis area Social Security disability attorneys can help you immediately after you become disabled. To be eligible for Social Security disability, you must prove that you are totally disabled by meeting the following conditions:

  • You must have a condition that will prevent you from working for at least one year or have a condition which is terminal in nature.
  • You must prove that, due to your impairments, you are unable to do the work you did before your disability, and that you are unable to adapt to another type of work
  • You must have worked and paid Social Security taxes for a specific amount of time, depending on your age.

When considering your claim, the Social Security Administration will also take into consideration your age, medical condition, education, past work experience, and transferable skills. It is important to keep medical records and information regarding your disability or impairment as the Social Security Administration will also consider these in determining eligibility. Our attorneys in Evansville, Indianapolis, and Louisville will build a Social Security disability case to show that you are eligible for benefits so that you can begin receiving payments as soon as possible.

Appealing a Social Security Disability Denial

It is not uncommon for Social Security disability claims to be denied, even for those who are legitimately disabled. The Social Security Administration may also stop paying benefits if they decide that you are no longer disabled. You have 60 days to file an appeal following the date of your Social Security disability denial. At our Louisville, Evansville and Indianapolis law offices, our Social Security disability attorneys can review your case if you believe you have been wrongfully denied benefits.
