Social Security Disability Insurance is intended to serve as a safety net for workers who are no longer able to continue working as they have before because of a covered medical condition or impairment. It is not uncommon for a disabled worker to feel discouraged by a denial of an initial application for SSDI benefits. However, it is very common for initial applications to be denied.
After the denial, the next step is to appeal the Social Security Administration's original decision. In an administrative hearing, you will have the opportunity to present compelling evidence of your inability to work before a hearing officer. Having an attorney represent you at this stage can greatly enhance your chances at getting approval at that hearing. If your appeal is also denied, there may be grounds to take your case before a court of law. Davis Law Firm in San Antonio and in other locations throughout south Texas has abundant experience successfully representing appellants at SSDI administrative hearings. We prepare as if for trial, complete with detailed reports on doctors' assessment of the person's condition and testimony from co-workers or family members.

Supplementary Security Income (SSI) is another type of government assistance that many people with disability are eligible for. SSI eligibility is related to income as well as to medical impairments or disabilities. As in the case of SSDI, SSI benefits are often denied at the first application, despite a case's worthiness. An experienced lawyer can greatly increase your chances of being approved to receive all benefits you are entitled to: SSI, SSDI or both.
Davis Law Firm handles SSI and SSDI cases on a contingency basis. If we do not succeed in helping you obtain the benefits you are eligible for, you owe us nothing. If we do succeed, your attorney fees will come out of your lump sum settlement from the Social Security Administration. Attorney fee percentages are determined by law. It costs no more or no less to hire an experienced, knowledgeable, proven attorney than it does to hire a new, inexperienced lawyer.
