Social security lawyers also known as social security disability lawyers assist people in claiming social disability claims. Social security lawyers handle both first time applications and previously denied applications. These lawyers differ from securities attorneys whereby these lawyers handle fraudulent cases in relation to the trading of stocks and securities.

An individual may file for social disability benefits when a person becomes physically and/or mentally incapacitated as a result of an injury. Injuries sustained as a result of alcohol or drug intoxication are not covered.

Social security disability claims must be filed immediately after the occurrence of the individual’s injury. Current laws only allow you to submit a claim within a certain time period from the date the injury occurs. Different states have different time limits for submitting claims.

Social security disability claims involve a complex process of completing various forms, waiting in long queues before a result is received. Even documentary evidence submission is a painstaking process if you do not know what type of documents to submit. The process even becomes more complex when your claim is refused. As a result, social security lawyers are hired to assist in the application process, and help increase the chances of winning your case.

An individual obtaining the services of a social security lawyer will need to provide medical records in relation to your claim. For social security claims that were previously denied updates of the patient’s medical condition are especially needed. These records will show that a patient’s medical condition exists, and will greatly help with the reconsideration of the case.

Social security lawyers will normally submit your claim application after it is determined you have a right to a claim. Results are not known until several months after submission. If the application is denied a request for reconsideration must be submitted, but only after several months after the first decision is reached.

A social security lawyer is paid on a contingency basis or after a case is won. These lawyers normally receive a certain percentage of the individual’s back wages as service fee.
