SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY

Serious injuries can leave a person temporarily or permanently disabled.  An injured person who is unable to work for a period that has or is expected to last 12 months or more may be entitled to disability payments fro m the Social Security Administration.  A disability may be caused by one or more medical conditions, including one that is a result of personal injury.

The Social Security disability attorney at Miniard & Associates is Alex Lubans-Otto.  Alex understands the complicated federal regulations governing Social Security disability claims. She will gather and review medical records.  Alex can help file for benefits and prosecute a claim.  The amount of a benefit is determined by former income and whether the injured person is receiving other benefits, including workers’ compensation.  A person receiving Social Security disability benefits may also be entitled to health coverage under Medicare.
