It can be difficult to navigate the complex world of disability claims. Finding yourself unable to do your job due to an accident or chronic illness can cause significant emotional and financial stress. Gold Country Workers Comp specializes in helping people navigate the disability claim process. Kim LaValley and Kyle Adamson have nearly 50 years combined experience in Workers’ Compensation and Disability/Social Security. They are here to help you with every step of the claim.
What is a disability?
According to the law, disability is defined as: “the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activities due to any medically determined physical or mental impairments that can be expected result in death or have lasted or are expected to last a continuous period not less than twelve months.” This definition emphasizes the seriousness and duration of the conditions that are considered in disability claims. In order to qualify for disability benefits, you must have substantial medical proof that your disability meets the criteria.
Medical Evidence: What is it?
The medical evidence that is used to prove the existence of a mental or physical impairment is a critical part of the disability claim. The medical evidence used to prove the disability is also crucial in determining the degree to which it affects the ability to work. Gold Country Workers Comp works closely with medical professionals in order to accurately document your condition and the impact it has on your life.
Social Security Disability Insurance: How to Navigate Through It
The Social Security Disability Insurance Program (SSDI), which is the main disability insurance program in the United States, processes the majority of disability claims. This program is complex to navigate and can be overwhelming because of the stringent requirements. Our team at Gold Country Workers Comp offers expert advice on SSDI. We help clients understand the SSDI process, meet deadlines and avoid common mistakes that can delay or prevent benefits.
Early Legal Intervention is Important
Early intervention is key. Gold Country Workers Comp adheres to the principle “Don’t delay in getting legal help.” Early involvement of an attorney in the disability claim process can increase the chances of a successful result. This ensures your claim is filed correctly, supported with adequate medical evidence and vigorously defended if there are any disputes or denials.
Our attorneys work on a contingent fee basis. This means that our fees are a percentage of the recovered amount and are dependent upon the successful conclusion of your case. This aligns both our and your interests, so that we can work to achieve the best outcome without incurring any upfront costs.
