SSD in Sacramento with GCWC

Worker's Comp Lawyer

Social Security Disability in Sacramento with Gold Country Workers Comp Center

The process of obtaining SSD in Sacramento can vary from person to person. SSD, or Social Security Disability benefits, can help you if you are out of work and unable to work. Social Security does not depend on where you contracted the medical condition that prevents you from working.  To briefly digress:  We now know that COVID-19 can produce long lasting and serious organ and/or lung damage that may render you unable to work.  (And the law provides various aids in proving you contracted coronavirus at work, meaning you could ALSO have a workers’ compensation claim!)

The first step to take is to contact an Attorney in order to determine if you are eligible. A knowledgeable disability law firm can advise you and ask the right questions in order to know which program(s) you can qualify for (as there can be more than one). Everyone handles their conditions differently, and although you might be diagnosed with a very serious illness, unfortunately that is not the only determining factor to meet Social Security’s or workers’ compensation criteria.

Being injured on the job can mean that would qualify for workers’ compensation, which means that even if the injuries are temporary, you would get some kind of compensation if someone was responsible for your health and safety. If those same injuries were to cause more serious issues and cause you to have to leave work for the foreseeable future, then you might still qualify for SSD in Sacramento in addition to those Workers Compensation benefits.

Some children could be disabled, whether due to birth defects, mental disorders, or physical conditions, and Social Security might understand that this could have lifelong effects in their ability to do work or schooling. Due to the growing cost of caring for a disabled child, receiving SSI benefits on behalf of your injured child could assist families greatly. Even if a person was not born with a chronic debilitating illness, one could develop a disability due to a traumatic event, psychological trauma or even an accident. For example, you could develop disorders such as PTSD and Depression, or suffer back problems or chronic pain if you were involved in a work, vehicle, or slip and fall accident. In fact, if you were involved in such an accident, it is wise to consult a lawyer about your eligibility even if you’re not entirely sure. Sometimes you can even file for SSD in Sacramento while you’re waiting to receive benefits such as Workers’ Comp, so there’s often no real reason to delay applying for benefits.

The Social Security Administration has several departments that aid in processing filed applications as well as work on determining who meets their criteria and who they deem is disabled enough to be out of work for a consecutive twelve months and therefore would need to receive monthly benefits, which could be not only monetary but health insurance as well.

Social Security Disability Law

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.

Hurt at Work? Call Gold Country

Workers Compensation Roseville

Hurt at Work? Call Gold Country

What are your options if you get hurt at work, either caused by a specific incident or by cumulative stress over time on any body part that eventually causes injury? You might not know what sort of benefits you are entitled to, if any. A work-related injury could happen to anyone, and every employer has to have the necessary accommodations so that their employees feel safe and can do their jobs efficiently without worrying about being heavily injured.

In fact, a common way to be hurt at work is in a result of a slip and fall. You could slip and fall due to dangerous or hazardous materials or conditions at your place of work. Dangerous conditions include a variety of different things such as unevenness in flooring, poor lighting, narrow stairs, or a wet and slippery floor. In some cases, it might have been your responsibility to, say, pick up and obstruction on the floor that is within your skillset and control, but other things are less your responsibility or just not even something you are capable of fixing yourself, especially depending on the kind of job you have.

Some of the most dangerous jobs involve being in areas and working conditions outside of your control such as lawn service, construction work, steelwork, driving trucks, fishing, and roofing.

At the end of the day, if you receive a specific injury while you were on the clock at your place of work that results in medical care, you are most likely entitled to workers’ compensation. It might be a bit hard to tell at first, in which case you could call an Attorney for a consultation to see what your options are.

An attorney can give you needed advice on how to move forward with your claim and even give you more legitimacy when dealing with an employer or agency that is still in the process of gaining their own evidence. It doesn’t cost you any more money upfront and the earlier you get an attorney involved, the more likely you are to avoid serious problems down the road, and not getting one early enough could cost you in your case. EARLY INTERVENTION WORKS!  Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center can help claimants with disabilities and injuries get the benefits they rightfully deserve, and our ability to be familiar with the evaluators is essential in obtaining a fair or even favorable evaluation since employers and their insurance companies will be working hard to save their own money at your expense.  The attorneys at Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center offer in depth free consultations to help ensure your claim produces results.

The assistance of an attorney at the time you have to make a statement for a deposition or ensuring things get filed on a timely basis can be very crucial. Gold Country has helped many people who have been hurt at work, so don’t hesitate to call us for a consultation at 530-362-7188 ;

Injured On The Job? Call GCWC

Workers Compensation Center Sacramento

Unfortunately for many, some careers have risks that end with people getting injured on the job. Some of the most dangerous jobs involve transportation, machinery, construction, and even sanitation. While a work-related injury could happen to anyone, it’s easier to see how a workplace with very dangerous work conditions can be held accountable if a worker has an accident while on the clock. Every employer has to have the necessary accommodations so that their employees feel safe and can do their jobs efficiently without worrying about being heavily injured.

Here is a list of some dangerous careers that could result in being injured on the job:

  • Landscapers, lawn service workers, and groundskeepers
  • Construction workers and extraction workers
  • Structural iron and steel workers
  • Ranchers and other agricultural workers
  • Truck drivers
  • Refuse and recyclable materials collectors
  • Roofers
  • Aircraft pilots and flight engineers
  • Fishers
  • Logging workers

At the end of the day, if you receive a specific injury or a series of small injuries that require medical care, or even if you receive an injury that developed over time, and it happened while you were on the clock at your place of work, you are most likely entitled to workers’ compensation. It might be a bit hard to tell at first, in which case you could call an Attorney for a consultation to see what your options are.

Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center is a law firm dedicated to helping their clients with disabilities and injuries, getting them the benefits they rightfully deserve. An attorney can give you adequate advice on how to move forward with your claim and even give you more legitimacy when dealing with an employer or agency that is still in the process of gaining their own evidence. It doesn’t cost you any more money up front the earlier you get an attorney involved, but not getting one early enough could cost you in your case.

The process of applying for Workers’ Compensation can seem complicated, and choosing an evaluating physician is a crucial step in the process. Our ability to be familiar with the evaluators is essential in obtaining a fair or even favorable evaluation since employers and their insurance companies will be working hard to save their own money at your expense.

Help Sue for Workers Comp Damages

Social Security law firm – GCWC

It might be time to call a Social Security law firm if you are met with the unfortunate circumstance of not being able to perform your duties at work. Early intervention works, so you should never wait to get legal help or find out if you are entitled to any disability benefits. If you are out of work and can no longer perform as you used to, normally for people this means they suffered a life-altering injury or have developed underlying medical or psychological problems that were recently escalated. Our team at Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center is here to help you through the process of not only applying but being there every step of the way with you.

The Social Security Administration offers a disability program to most American citizens who meet certain requirements. The two programs are Social Security Disability Insurance benefits (SSDI) and the Supplemental Security Income program (SSI). Respectively, these programs are offered to Americans who have accumulated enough work credits or otherwise fall under a certain income level, but qualify as disabled under the SSA’s definition.

While tedious, applying for disability benefits is often pretty straight forward, and you can even do most of it online, but once the application is filed and processed, Social Security will begin to ask a lot of questions and will request a lot of follow-up information. Often times the beginning stages involve being denied which means claimants end up feeling very defeated. Every claim, no matter what the ailment is, requires enough evidence to support it. A Social Security law firm can help gather the information needed to prove you are unable to work for at least twelve months and determine you will not be able to return to work either.  If you claim for disability is denied by the SSA, you MUST appeal within 60 days or your rights will be seriously impaired.  You MUST be persistent.

Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center is a Social Security law firm that will help answer all your questions and make the process go as smoothly as possible, knowing the best people are working on your case. Our attorneys have worked many years aiding claimants with their disability cases, as we are aware of Social Security’s deadlines, their proceedings, and rules, which most people don’t know when they apply for benefits.

There’s no better time like the present, and you don’t need to wait to file a claim. We will make sure to use this time efficiently to get you the help you need and deserve, so no matter what the case may be, make sure to contact Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center as soon as possible. Contact our office for a free consultation or referral at 530-362-7188 or toll-free at 877-233-8399.
