Social Security Disability Lawyers

Jacksonville, Florida

The Social Security Administration provides benefits to individuals who are injured or suffering from a severe disability. You are considered disabled when you can no longer engage in substantial and gainful activity.

If you or a family member can no longer work, or an injury or disability will soon prevent you from working, you may be entitled to benefits generally referred to as
Social Security Disability, or SSDI.

Applying for SSDI is a lengthy and time-consuming bureaucratic process that can be difficult to navigate, especially for individuals who are injured or in pain. Working with experienced social security disability lawyers is the best way to pursue the social security benefits you are entitled to for all the years you have worked.

There is no reason to be ashamed if you must apply for SSDI. Think of SSDI like an insurance program. While you were able to work, you paid into the program with the Social Security payments that were taken out of your paycheck. Now that you are unable to work, you may be eligible to receive that money back. The compassionate attorneys of Hardesty, Tyde, Green & Ashton, P.A., work with you, your family and your medical providers to:

• Offer needed medical evidence to prove your Social Security claims
• Help injured workers with workers’ compensation claims leading to disability
• Assist victims of automobile accidents with personal injury claims leading to disability

If you can no longer work, or believe a disability will soon prevent you from work, our social security disability lawyers will help you face the rules and regulations that make the application process difficult, beginning with the initial application through reconsideration and the hearing.

The social security disability lawyers at Hardesty, Tyde, Green & Ashton, P.A. are trained to look for physical restrictions which are supported by any medically verifiable disability or mental impairment that is expected to continue for a period of at least twelve months. Some conditions may result in death and in this case, the twelve-month requirement is not required. It is not uncommon for those who have been injured in auto accidents or on the job to also qualify for disability under the Social Security Administration rules. Our social security attorneys are also experienced in helping injured workers with workers’ compensation claims and those who have been injured in automobile accident with personal injury claims.

As with any bureaucratic system, to overturn a denial, an appeal must be filed at every level. After a denial of the initial application, a Request For Reconsideration must be filed and after a denial of the reconsideration, a Request For Administrative Hearing is usually required.

The governmental process is very time consuming and can cause great strain. Medical records must be gathered throughout the process and forms must be timely submitted. Many people find it very difficult to keep up with this process especially when they are suffering from severe injuries or are in severe pain. At Hardesty, Tyde, Green & Ashton, P.A., we will work with you and your medical providers to complete the necessary forms setting forth their medical evaluations and other medical evidence needed to prove your claim to the Social Security Administration. Workers who have contributed to the Social Security Administration and properly qualify to receive money and medical benefits from the Social Security Administration should feel no shame in seeking out a lawyer when they have been wrongfully denied. Don’t give up.

Don’t wait to claim the compensation you deserve. Please contact Hardesty, Tyde, Green & Ashton, P.A., today for your initial consultation in the Jacksonville, Florida area.
