Kansas City Social Security Disability Attorney

Understanding the Social Security Disability Program

Every time you have received a paycheck, you may have noticed that your net pay amount was significantly smaller than your gross pay. That is due in large part to the taxes that your employer has been deducting from your wages for the Social Security Disability program. Nearly every worker in our country contributes to a fund which provides benefits to those with illnesses or who have suffered injuries, such as in a construction accident, which will make it impossible for them to work for at least a year, or which are likely to result in death. If you find yourself in this difficult position, it is now your turn to claim the benefits you deserve.

Unfortunately, out of more than 2 million new applications for SSD benefits every year, roughly two thirds are denied. You can dramatically improve your chances of success by working with a Kansas City personal injury attorney from the beginning of the application process. An attorney from the Montee Law Firm, P.C. can assist you in gathering the necessary evidence to support your claim, and will guide you in preparing your application to avoid an unnecessary refusal. In the event that your claim is denied, we can represent you in the appeals process.

Fighting Denials of Social Security Disability Applications

The Social Security Administration receives an overwhelming number of new applications of every year, and many valid claims are denied on the grounds of simple errors on the part of the applicant. Other times, the Disability Determination Services staff may be at fault. An attorney from our firm can help you request reconsideration, followed by a hearing with an Administrative Law Judge. If your claim still has not been approved, it is possible to take the case to the Social Security Appeals Council, or even to a federal court for appeal. We understand how much may be at stake for you and your family, and will work tirelessly to help you achieve a successful result.

As early as possible in the process of your application for benefits, contact a Kansas City social security disability lawyer from our firm for experienced guidance and aggressive representation.
