If you live in Sacramento California and need assistance with navigating Sacrarmentio social Security Law Call Gold Country Today!

Temporary or Permanent disability is a very real possibility with any injury, whether that is a mental impairment or a physical one, or a combination of the two. This results in having to drastically reduce the amount of time they dedicate to work, or even have to leave work altogether. We all primarily live off of wages to survive, which is why it’s crucial for you to have an understanding of Sacramento Social Security Law and how it can help you when you’re in this situation.

It won’t cost you more to hire an attorney as soon as possible, since all fees are a fixed percentage and are dependent on your firm winning the case. Having an attorney from the very beginning can mean a more efficient procedure right from the start. If you’re disabled, there are many things you already have to keep track of and worry about, but Social Security still has very specific rules and deadlines when it comes to submitting evidence and filing applications and appeals.

In fact, hiring a law firm to assist you with this could mean clearing up any doubts or questions you had about the process or guiding you through your options. Many people don’t know this, but Social Security offers two basic disability programs to which general members of the public can apply: SSI and SSDI. Both will provide monthly payments and medical benefits as long as the claimant who filed is eligible for either (or sometimes both). SSDI pays much better and provides more comprehensive medical benefits, but not everyone qualifies for it depending on their work history. If in doubt about which to apply for, apply for both. You can apply for SSDI online but you must submit a written application to get SSI benefits to your local SSA district office. An attorney already knows the best ways to contact the local offices, so even when applying in the early stages of the procedures, there is still great benefit to hiring someone with experience.

If you require assistance with Sacramento Social Security Law or were injured on the job, Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center will help fight for the compensation you deserve. We offer almost 50 years of legal experience, most of which is in Workers’ Compensation and Disability/Social Security. We have helped many people just like you resolve their issues with a positive outcome. There is no charge for the initial consultation. Call us at 530-362-7188.

California Workers Compensation

Workers Comp Lawyer California

California Workers Compensation by GCWC

When you suffered a work-related injury, you may be entitled to California Workers Compensation. The first thing you should do is report the accident to your employer, but soon after you should contact an Attorney so they can guide you through the process. Filing a California Workers Compensation claim might sound simple, but a trustworthy law firm can help you follow up with doctors, gathering the appropriate evidence, and even advising you on what not to do which can be just as important.

From 2016 to 2017, the most common workers’ compensation injuries were overexertion, which includes big lifts, pulls, pushes, or throws that force a joint or muscle beyond its usual range of motion, slips and falls which can happen from wet floors or snowy walkways, electrocution which can result in severe burns, cardiac arrest, nerve damage, or even brain injury, being stuck by an object such as a bookshelf, a barricade, or other stationary objects, transportation incidents such as in the case of truck drivers, machinery accidents which are most commonly seen in factories or construction sites, unintentional overdoses, workplace violence such as in the case of nurses, psychiatric evaluators, and probation officers who are at high risk of violence in the workplace, exposure to harmful substances such as chemical exposure like asbestos, lead, and acids, and fires or explosions which can also result in inhalation issues, loss of hearing or sight, lung damage, brain injuries, shock wave injuries, and respiratory or cardiac arrest.

The best way to avoid these injuries is to create a safe work environment, but in the event that something does occur, a California Workers Compensation must be filed within 30 days and an Attorney should be contacted immediately to help you through the process. Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center is a law firm that will only be paid after the resolution of your case. The insurance company might dissuade you from getting legal help, and it may seem that it is in your best interest to pocket all of your compensation. But oftentimes, an Attorney can help your chances of not only winning your claim but getting you as much owed to you as possible. Insurance companies want to pay as little as possible, so they aren’t necessarily looking out for your best interests.

After contacting Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center, California Workers Compensation will be easier to get than ever since you have a good support system while enduring the process. Your initial consultation is free, and they will be dedicated to serving your every step of the way. Call today at (530) 362-7188.

Social Security Attorney Information

Social Security Attorney

Social Security Attorney Information

When it comes to filing a Social Security Disability claim, there is probably a no better person to assist than a Social Security Attorney.  The Social Security Administration (SSA) have representatives processing your claim for disability benefits, whether SSDI or SSI, but their job is to deny your claim unless you clearly qualify as “disabled” under SSA’s definitions.   Sometimes things can seem unfair or even difficult to understand why you could be denied.

This is why a Social Security Attorney will fight for you to get your benefits since they have a more personal understanding of how your conditions affect you. A lawyer will also have a more watchful eye on what terminology should be used when it comes to filing appropriate documents or when looking over your medical records.

You are encouraged to appeal any denials you receive, and a Social Security Attorney can help assist you and make sure it gets filed on time. There are timelines and limitations to all these procedures, which could be taxing to someone with disabilities. Hiring an Attorney sooner in the application process means less headache and better results. In fact, if it gets to the hearing level, having a lawyer’s presence can help strengthen the validity of your claim. The Administrative Law Judge present will also not hesitate to use terminology or ask questions that the average person wouldn’t know.

Once you call a Social Security Attorney for a consultation, they can determine whether your physical or mental conditions will qualify you for disability benefits and will direct you on which one you would want to apply for. From then, they will help you with gathering the appropriate evidence.

There is no up-front cost to hiring a Social Security attorney. Once your claim is won and Social Security calculates the back due payments owed to you, any fee requests an Attorney submits is contingent on winning the case, must be below the legal maximum (generally $6000) and has to be approved by the SSA first. Once it’s found reasonable by SSA or if after a trial, a Judge, then the payment will be due.

Gold Country is a law firm dedicated to your needs and will fight to get you what you deserve. Not only do we have the knowledge and experience to help with a Social Security Disability claim, but we can also assist you with Workers’ Comp or help you determine what other disability benefits you can qualify for.

SSI Lawyer in Sacramento

Disability law

SSI Lawyer in Sacramento with GCWC

If you need an SSI lawyer in Sacramento look no further than Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center. Our attorneys are equipped to handle Social Security Disability claims as well as other more specific programs that are available to California residents.

For example, in California, a small percentage of every employee’s paycheck is deducted and paid into a special disability insurance fund, called State Disability Insurance. If due to any medical reason you cannot perform you regular work, this will pay you disability benefits if you are not receiving comparable benefits elsewhere.

If you are disabled and have very limited income, you may qualify for benefit payments and employment assistance called “calWORKS”. Participation in an employment services program may be required. And of course, there are private insurance sources, and what each policy considers a disability and how they define the disabled will vary from insurance to insurance.

An SSI lawyer in Sacramento will be sure to guide you to a program that better fits your needs and more importantly that you might qualify for. Each program has pros, cons, and benefits, and sometimes there’s a possibility to qualify for more than one at a time.

Otherwise, Social Security Disability benefit programs (SSI and SSDI) are available to all United States citizens who have enough earnings history. If you have questions about whether you qualify for benefits, you should contact an SSI Lawyer in Sacramento as soon as possible. It doesn’t cost you any upfront money to hire one, and it’s generally recommended to get the process started as soon as you’re out of work. An attorney can help you at any stage from the application process all the way to a hearing if necessary.

In order to win an SSI claim it normally requires a lot more work and effort. It’s not enough to show documentation that you were diagnosed recently with a debilitating illness, they will investigate whether this deters you from working various jobs without limitations. This can mean a myriad of stress-inducing questions and forms to fill out, which is why having a lawyer by your side is not only advantageous but a great support system.

Attorneys Kim LaValley and Kyle Adamson of Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center have worked for many years on behalf of their clients pursuing Social Security benefits and have an excellent record in winning their cases. They have received praise for their work from many specialists in the field, including witnesses called by the government to testify against their clients. Please call us for a consultation at…

Social Security Disability Law

Social Security Disability

Social Security Disability Law

What does it take to get Social Security Disability benefits? For everyone it can vary. At the beginning of trying to establish your eligibility, you may want to get a consultation from an Attorney to know how to move forward. There is more than one kind of claim you can file and different ways to determine which one you will qualify for. Other than that, everyone’s conditions vary from person to person. Not everyone who has a cardiac condition, for example, will immediately get their benefits once they prove to a medical examiner that they were diagnosed with said illness.

Although this isn’t like Workers’ Comp, where you had to be injured on the job to qualify for certain benefits, if you were injured on the job and the injuries result in long-term debilitating conditions, then you could still qualify for Social Security Disability benefits.

Some people are born already having debilitating conditions, and as they grow, this could affect their ability to handle their day-to-day tasks in school or their ability to socialize with other kids their age. And if they meet qualifying criteria, a child can receive SSI benefits for such disabilities.

On the other hand, others develop them through external factors, such as a traumatic event. For example, many veterans are likely to suffer from PTSD, Tinnitus, knee conditions, lumbar and cervical strains, migraines, and paralysis, so they could qualify for Social Security Disability benefits in addition to their pension, especially if their disability rating is very high.

And even in circumstances outside of pre-existing conditions etc, if you were involved in an accident that results in long-term injuries, you may want to consult with an attorney about your eligibility as well. Sometimes you can even file for a Social Security Disability while you’re waiting to receive benefits such as Worker’s Comp, and vice versa so there’s often no real reason to delay applying for both types of benefits.

It’s the Social Security Administration’s job to determine whether you meet a disability listing. Disability listings are lists of conditions that affect different parts of the body and the criteria it takes to meet the listing depending on what someone claims on their application. There is a relatively wide variety of listings, and with a good Attorney on your hands, chances are they will know what listing applies to you and do what it takes to prove you meet it.
