Winning Social Security Disability Benefits Can Change Your Life
Fighting for Social Security Disability benefits can be an exhausting process, but if you win, it can help you both physically and financially. At James Trauring & Associates, LLC, we are here to help relieve some stress and get you through the Social Security Disability process. When you contact our disability attorney, you can expect personalized service. It is our goal to help you win benefits by providing you with professional legal assistance.
Our attorneys can help prove your disability to the Social Security Administration, so you are eligible to qualify for disability benefits. Contact James Trauring & Assoicates, LLC, to get started with your application.
There are three categories under which the Social Security Administration considers you disabled. Whether your disability is physical, mental, or a combination of issues, you could qualify for social security disability benefits.
Social Security Administration's Disability rules:
- You cannot perform other action because of your medical condition(s)
- You can no longer perform the same level of work you have in the past
- Your disability has lasted for one year, expected to last one year, or result in death
Being injured, not being able to work, and receiving a denial on a disability claim can be extremely frustrating and overwhelming. The appeal process can be long and time-consuming, but it is possible to succeed. However, the period to appeal is limited. It's vital to call us right away if they deny your claim.
Just because the SSA denies you, does not mean your claim is over. As Social Security disability attorneys, we know the process and will file an appeal to an Administrative Law Judge on your behalf.
If an Administrative Law Judge were to deny your claim, we could then send your claim to the Appeals Council. Lastly, if the Appeals Council denies your claim, we can go to the Federal Court. You are not alone. We will be with you every step of the way. Contact James Trauring & Associates, LLC, today to discuss your Social Security Disability claim.
Scheduled Social Security Hearing
If the Social Security Administration has notified you of an upcoming hearing, it's imperative you have a heavily qualified attorney.
We'll use our knowledge and expertise to:
- Analyze Your Social Security File
- Cross-Examine Medical or Vocational Experts Who Testify
- File Appeals Promptly (If Necessary)
- Make Legal Arguments Before and During the Hearing
- Obtain Relevant Evidence Such as Medical Records
- Prepare Your Case
- Prepare Your Testimony
- Question Witnesses
- Represent You During Each Stage of Your Claim
- Understand Your Impairments
Attending your Social Security hearing alone can be scary, but it is also risky. These hearings will require some prep. Between the stress of an injury and a hearing that you may not have attended before or witnessed, you need our help to guide you through it. We can meet you and prepare you for the hearing and the entire social security disability benefits process.
What Will I Have to Pay?
We work on a contingency fee basis. If we don't win your Social Security Disability case, you do not pay legal fees. We would never charge you more than 25% of your past-due benefits. Let us win your case. Call James Trauring & Associates, LLC, today to discuss your case today.
Social Security Benefits Types
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
The SSDI program pays out benefits to you (and certain family members) if you meet specific criteria:
- You are unable to work due to mental or physical problems
- You are "insured" and have worked long enough to be covered by the disability program.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
The SSI program is a needs-based program reevaluated every year for disabled adults who cannot work with a limited income. However, you do not have to have worked to qualify for SSI.
