There are times when you may need expert legal assistance; a Social Security, workers compensation & estate planning lawyer / attorney in Orange can handle a number of issues that often arise.
Disabilities and injuries:
A lawyer is not an absolute necessity in many cases; this is true for Social Security disability applications as well as appeals. However, there are reasons to engage an attorney, as they are professionals who fully understand and comprehend the complexities of the appeals process.
A high percentage of applications for Social Security disability benefits are rejected. Even though the application is denied in the first place, the Administration gives you the opportunity to prepare and launch an appeal. It is at this time when a Social Security, workers compensation & estate planning lawyer / attorney in Orange can genuinely help. It is estimated that those who appeal with the assistance of a lawyer stand a far better chance of receiving benefits than those that go it alone. Seasoned attorneys are able to:
* Gather and assess all supporting medical records
* Have your physician provide an up to date assessment of your condition
* Coach you for the questions that you can expect to be asked when your appeal reaches the desk of an administrative law judge.
* Question and challenge vocational experts that are involved in the hearing
Injuries from accidents that happen while on the job are covered by workers compensation. In many cases there is no need to hire an attorney but there are issues that can arise where legal assistance is necessary. Perhaps you can go back to work but you know you can’t return to your old job or perhaps there is a third party involved.
There are numerous reasons to dispute what your employer says or what your employer’s insurance company says. Due to the complexity of the laws that surround workers compensation claims you will be at a distinct disadvantage if you try to represent yourself.
