Social Security Law FAQs
Answers to Your Social Security Questions
It's generally recommended that you apply as soon as you become disabled. You can apply on your own, but the process is much easier if you obtain the help of a qualified professional.
Social Security uses a step-by-step process involving five questions. They include: Are you working? Is your condition "severe"? Is your condition on the list of disabling conditions? Can you do the work you did previously? Can you do any other type of work?
Personal Injury Law FAQs
Understanding Personal Injury Law
Personal injury refers to an injury to the body, mind, or emotions, as opposed to property. It usually involves cases where a person's negligence results in harm to another.
Compensation can cover a variety of areas, including medical expenses, loss of income, pain and suffering, and more. The exact amount will vary depending on the specifics of your case.
