We Care About Helping You Get the Benefits You Deserve

The Social Security Administration provides benefits to people who suffer from an injury or disease that prevents them from working, or is expected to prevent them from working for one year or longer. In many cases, whether a person suffers from a disability, has been injured on the job or in an accident, they are entitled to Social Security Disability benefits or Supplemental Security Income benefits.

The attorneys at Platt Jacobus Fielding & Torres can help guide an individual through the overwhelming maze of regulation and red tape of the application process. If you have become disabled, you are eligible to apply for disability within your company, either for short or long term, or for other benefits through workers’ compensation. You must also apply for Social Security Disability benefits. The nature of the disability must be such that you are unable to perform substantial gainful employment or earn more than $700.00 a month.

It is important when developing a Social Security Disability case or a Social Security Supplemental Income case that the individual consults with an attorney who can assist you in collecting medical records and assessing whether or not the claim will meet the stringent requirements of the Social Security Administration.
