Social Security Disability Info

Both Workers Comp and Disability law firms are well seasoned when it comes to Social Security Disability Info.

Social Security Disability Info involves a lot of know-how and experience, and if you need to file a claim with the Social Security Administration, you might feel very overwhelmed.

Seeking an attorney early on doesn’t cost any more than getting one later on or if you’re going to court, the only difference is that the earlier you have someone there to guide and support you, the better your foundation your case will have overall.

When someone suffers an injury, one might end up getting the treatment they need to get back on their feet in a matter of weeks or a few short months, but chronic illnesses and severe impairments could affect others differently, rendering them disabled for over a year or even longer. You don’t even have to wait that long to file for a Disability claim. In fact, it’s usually recommended that you file as soon as you are out of work. The most important thing throughout the whole process is that you continue receiving treatment for the conditions you claimed on your disability application. The more medical evidence there is on a claim, the better Social Security will understand how much your impairments limit you from working. They cross-examine a few things, such as the level of severity the symptoms have on you, the claimant, your work history and level of education, as well as your age and how all of that stacks up against your ability to re-enter the workforce with the impairments you have. Some employers do hire disabled people, but not all disabled people can work or function in the same way.

SSI in Sacramento with GCWC

SSI for Sacramento; Applying for SSI

SSI in Sacramento with GCWC

If you are thinking of filing for SSI in Sacramento look no further than Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center. Our attorneys are professionals who are equipped to manage Social Security Disability claims, SSI claims as well as other disability programs available for residents of California.

For example, “CalWORKS” is a program of benefit payments and employment assistance for those who are partially disabled and have limited income. Participation in an employment services program may be required. There are private insurance sources that automatically include some disability benefits but whose policies vary on how they consider a disability and how they define the disabled.

In California, it may be important to note that a small percentage of your paycheck is deducted and paid into a special disability insurance fund, called State Disability Insurance. This will pay you disability benefits if you cannot perform your regular work due to any medical reason and are not receiving comparable benefits elsewhere.

A lawyer can help you get SSI, SS Disability or Workers’ Compensation benefits or other benefits in Sacramento by guiding you to a program that better fits your needs and determine which one you will more than likely qualify for. Each program has pros, cons, and benefits, and sometimes there’s a possibility to qualify for more than one at a time.

In order to win a Social Security Disability claim (whether that is for SSI or SSDI), it normally requires a lot more work and effort than other programs. Unfortunately, showing documentation that you were diagnosed with a debilitating illness is not nearly enough. In almost all cases, Social Security will still investigate whether this deters you from working various jobs that the Dept. of Labor says are available even with the medical conditions your medical file establish s that you have.  That is, the SSA will still require you to produce medical proof of your inability to work at any job covered by the Dept. of Labor using its definition of functional job demands, including minimum wage work requiring you to deal with 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.

But Social Security Disability is available to all United States citizens who have enough earnings history. If your earning history is not enough, you may still qualify for SSI benefits based on the same medical showing.  If you have questions about whether you qualify for benefits, you should contact an SSI attorney 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.

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

Workers’ Comp Facts for the Natural Resource Extraction Industry

California Workers Compensation Lawyer

Natural resource extraction industries, together with agriculture, form the basis of the primary sector of the economy; in other words, this is the sector of an economy that makes direct use of raw materials such as coal and timber. Natural resource extraction industries include mining, logging, oil and gas drilling, and forestry.

Natural resource extraction and mining is considered to be a high-risk industry with respect to workers’ compensation. Employees in these types of jobs face a greater risk for accidents, and the injuries that they suffer are often more severe.

Some of the more common types of work-related injuries that employees are at risk for include:

  • Contact with objects and equipment
  • Fires and explosions
  • Overexertion and fatigue
  • Transportation accidents
  • Exposure to noxious substances

If you’re an employee of one of the natural resource extraction industries, and you’ve been injured on-the-job, you’re best option is to seek the help and advice of an experienced and knowledgeable attorney specializing in workers’ compensation cases.

Getting an attorney involved early on costs no more than bringing one in later in the proceeding. Doing so helps ensure the case stays on track and avoids the real risk of any significant problems that could easily develop unless guided by an attorney

Legal protection for employees

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 mandated that employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful work environment. They must comply with the General Duty Clause of the OSH Act which requires employers to maintain conditions in the workplace such that it is free of serious recognized hazards.

However, potential hazards still exist throughout the industry. Natural resource extraction jobs involve the use of machinery and equipment such as excavators, loaders, backhoes, and drills which can pose a serious risk of injury to employees if routine maintenance is not performed on them or the equipment is defective.

Mining can expose workers to chemical burns, respiratory problems, and poisoning from toxic substances as well as injuries resulting from the use of explosives. Vehicular accidents, falling rock and debris, and machinery can cause back and head injuries as well as broken or crushed limbs.

Working with an attorney

Living in and around Nevada City, you may be employed by one of the many logging companies in the area. If you’ve been injured while on the job, you have the right to receive benefits under California’s workers’ compensation laws.

Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center specializes in two areas of law — workers’ compensation claims and disability claims. Founder Kim Lavalley has worked as an attorney for workers’ compensation cases for most of his 40 plus years of practicing law.

Our firm will work tirelessly to ensure that you receive money and benefits to which you’re entitled from your employer’s workers’ comp insurance, but, in addition, will advise you as to your legal rights to initiate a lawsuit outside of the workers’ comp system.

Injured on the job? Call our firm for your free initial consultation. We’re committed to helping you receive the full benefits that you deserve.
