Fort Lauderdale Social Security Disability Attorney

social security benefits form

Individuals in Fort Lauderdale who have worked hard throughout their lives may suddenly find themselves without a means of financial support when a disabling injury, illness, or medical condition leaves them completely disabled and unable to work. While the Social Security Disability (SSD) insurance program is designed to provide individuals with compensation when they become disabled, the process for obtaining social security benefits is often far from quick or easy. Medical evidence requirements, strict deadlines, and other regulatory requirements often result in individuals being denied disability benefits, even when they are clearly entitled to them. Fortunately, this is a situation in which the lawyers of Steinger, Greene & Feiner can help. We work with clients and their healthcare providers in order to provide the Social Security Administration with the medical records and other evidence necessary to make the correct decision on their claims for SSD benefits.

Qualifying for Social Security Disability Benefits

There are a variety of situations in which a person may be entitled to SSD benefits, including:

  • Accidents that lead to permanently disabling medical conditions, such as:
  • Paralysis
  • Amputated limbs
  • Blindness or severe vision impairments
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Congestive heart failure and other heart-related conditions
  • Chronic asthma or other conditions that make breathing difficult
  • Serious diseases, such as:
  • Parkinson’s Disease
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Lou Gehrig’s disease
  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • Mental illness, including bipolar disorder and schizophrenia

If any of these conditions, or another medical condition, renders you disabled and unable to work for a permanent or indefinite period of time, which is expected to exceed one year or more, then you may be entitled to Social Security Disability benefits. This form of monthly compensation, which is administered by the federal government, offers financial support for individuals who have paid into the benefits system by working for a specified period of time, and who later have become disabled and unable to work. With the assistance of the Fort Lauderdale disability attorneys at Steinger, Greene & Feiner, you may be able to get the benefits for which you are qualified.

A personal injury can occur in a variety of ways, but almost all have the same results in common. Suddenly, your life is disrupted and possibly jeopardized physically, emotionally, and financially by an accident or incident which could have been prevented.

Challenging the Denial of Social Security Benefits

Applying for SSD benefits requires you to submit detailed information about your work history, day-to-day living, and any medical conditions from which you suffer. Filing a successful disability claim, however, is not always as easy as it might seem. As a result, many individuals who eventually receive disability benefits are denied at first, or even on multiple occasions, before they ultimately receive their benefits. Involving an experienced and knowledgeable disability attorney in your case can be the key to a successful claim. Ensuring that you appeal any denials of benefits in a timely and thorough fashion is crucial to becoming eligible.

Proven Personal Injury Lawyers

A fair settlement is not what you can expect to receive from the insurance company. Their goal is to reduce payouts on claims so they can remain highly profitable. Our proven and committed legal team understands the tactics these companies regularly use to pay claimants as little as possible. We routinely battle their schemes in and out of court, and have developed effective methods for doing so.

With a legal team of more than 30 lawyers and more than 140 staff, including investigators and other assistants, we have the resources needed to get the job done efficiently. You can bring your personal injury case to us with confidence, knowing you will pay nothing until we recover the compensation you deserve.

    I was in an Auto Accident at the beginning of this year and ended up with some severe injuries and, I just didn't really know where to turn to next. I was given a recommendation for Steiner, Greene and Feiner and so I called them. … More My Attorney Sam Levine immediately called me back and I am so happy that he did. Sam talked with me about the process and from there I had always felt like I was in good hands. I'm actually tearing up writing this because my case is closing now and I'm going to miss talking with him. Sam has been there for me throughout this whole process, he kept me informed of each step, if I had a question, he answered me right away, if he needed to update me, he called me right away. He was always easy to speak with, he was very professional but he was like Family too. I felt comfortable and safe. I absolutely loved all of my Doctors, I always felt safe with them too, they treated you like Family, I miss them too. Sam knows what he is doing, he is knowledgeable not only with law but, your injuries too which is nice because he knows what you're going through. I can't say enough about Sam, he's a great guy and he made this process easier and he got me the settlement I deserve so, I have to give him and Steiner, Greene and Feiner five Stars, I highly recommend them to everyone, they're on your side and they put their heart and soul into it. I hope I don't have to but, if I do…I will definitely call them again and ask for Sam. Thank you Sam, thank you for all you did.
