The Social Security Administration has complex regulations to determine if you are eligible for disability insurance benefits (SSDI) or supplemental security income (SSI). These benefits are paid to people not yet retired who have physical or mental health limitations which prevent any work in the national economy when disability is expected to last for 12 months or more.
The three roles of lawyers in personal injury and wrongful death cases are to (1) preserve the evidence, (2) investigate and present the evidence in settlement negotiations, and (3) try the case if it cannot be settled on a reasonable basis. Early involvement is critical. Otherwise, important rights may be lost.
