The legal team at Shook & Stone has been representing clients seeking to find Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits in Nevada since 1999. Thousands of SSD claims are filed every year, but the majority is denied by the Social Security Administration (SSA) for a variety of reasons. Unfortunately, many of the claims are legitimate, but may never be given proper compensation or will be stuck in the appeals process for years.
The Nevada Social Security Disability attorneys at Shook & Stone have years of experience representing SSD benefit claims. If you are searching for your benefits, our legal team can help you find proper aid for your disability and inability to work that may be impossible without legal assistance.
Social Security Claims Process
In order to successfully prove that SSD benefits are needed, an injured worker must show that he or she has suffered a disability that will last for more than one year or end in death and prevents him or her from being able to work. Common disabilities that receive benefits include paralysis, blindness, and loss of limb, as these are almost always life-long and prevent a worker from being able to perform any typical work duties.
A SSD report will contain an injured worker’s vital information such as birth date, work records, and Social Security number, but will most importantly contain information proving his or her accident and subsequent disability. This includes contact information for someone knowledgeable about the disability, information on medical treatment and those who administered it, medical records, medicines being taken, medical tests, and any insurance or workers’ compensation claims that were filed.
If requirements have been met, an injured worker will be able to receive benefits based on your average yearly income and the amount of time you worked prior to the injury. Additionally, benefits can be paid to dependant family members so they do not suffer the financial consequences of the supporter of the family being unable to work. However, successfully completing the Social Security Disability process is very complicated and often ends in a denial without the help of a skilled attorney.
