Social Security Disability

Our firm helps injured workers with their claims

If a workplace injury or other injury has left you unable to work at any job, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits. But the process can be frustrating and many SSD claims are denied at first. A Social Security Disability lawyer at Tabor Law Firm, P.A., serving Ridgeland, Jackson and beyond, understands the challenges of getting these benefits and can demand the money you need to live your life.

Any worker that has been injured on the job should apply for SSD benefits as soon as possible. You can apply for Mississippi SSD benefits by scheduling an appointment with a Social Security Administration (SSA) representative or by applying online.

You will be assigned a claims representative who will handle the paperwork needed to submit your claim to Disability Determination Services (DDS), which will make an initial determination as to whether you are considered disabled under the SSA’s requirements.

The SSA rejects many applications. We can help you move forward.

But far too often, this initial claim for SSD benefits is rejected. We understand the difficulties and challenges that can arise when a claim is denied, especially if you were planning on those benefits being your sole source of income. But just because your claim for Social Security Disability benefits is denied doesn’t mean you aren’t eligible. It means you need an attorney to help you fight to get them.

All too often, applicants that are rejected choose to abandon their claims instead of appealing the decision­ – a process that can be timely and intimidating. We are very familiar with the claims process and know what it takes to file a successful appeal.

A Social Security Disability attorney can help with your appeal

Some claims are rejected because of mistakes made in the application. Others are rejected because of mistakes in the processing of the application. Some injured workers choose not to pursue an appeal, because they think of SSD benefits as a handout. But it’s important to remember that you paid into the system while you were working. Now that you can no longer work, you have the right to collect benefits.

We can help you navigate the complex claims process and gather the documentation you need. We know how deal with the bureaucracy to get approval for your claim. You’ve earned these benefits and we’ll keep fighting for you until the DDS agrees. Our stellar record with SSD appeals has helped countless clients get the benefits they deserve.
