Social Security Disability

Are you sick or injured? Unable to work? Filed a social security disability claim only to have it denied? If the answer is yes, there are a number of legal avenues available to you to help you get the compensation that you deserve. The initial denial of your social security disability claim does not mean that you are not entitled to benefits. At the law offices of Brent Adams & Associates, our experienced social security appeal lawyers can work with you on your appeal to get you the results you deserve.

Claim Denial and Legal Options

Social Security Disability Income Benefits provide federal benefits to those individuals who are injured or sick and are unable to work. Benefits given are determined on an individual basis, based on past wages. It is not uncommon for an initial social security disability claim to be denied. Obtaining a good social security appeal lawyer and filing an immediate request for reconsideration most often proves to be successful in getting you the money you desire.

If your initial appeal is denied, you can next appeal and ask for a hearing where you will meet with an Administrative Law Judge in an informal hearing. The Administrative Law Judge will review your case independent from any prior knowledge of it, then make a ruling approving or denying your request. Most cases are won at this level.

In the unlikely event that your claim is denied at this level, Brent Adams and Associates can help you with further appeals.
