Why You Need a Disability Attorney in Colorado Springs
In a perfect world, anyone who’s unable to work due to illness or personal injury could apply for and receive financial assistance alone.
Unfortunately, securing the disability benefits you deserve can be a challenge. Navigating the complex application process, proving your eligibility, and overcoming all-too-common denials is difficult for anyone. But it becomes especially frustrating when you rely on those benefits to live.
That’s where Impact Disability Law comes in. We believe in your right to receive the benefits you deserve, and we’ll fight for that right throughout the entirety of your Social Security disability claim.
Here’s how we can help.
Expertise in Disability Law
Our attorneys specialize in disability law, focusing on the intricacies of the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claims process. We know what it takes to build a strong case and increase your chances of success, especially when appealing a denial.
Maximizing Your Chances of Approval
Nationally, only about 38% of claims were approved after the initial application, with many being denied due to technical or nonmedical reasons. Our legal services help ensure your claim is filed correctly, accurately, and supported by sufficient medical records, maximizing your initial approval odds and reducing nonmedical denials due to filing errors.
Help with Gathering Evidence
Comprehensive medical evidence is paramount to a successful disability claim. Our attorneys know what information you need and work closely with your doctors to obtain your records and expert opinions to support your claims, ensuring your claim meets the SSA’s strict criteria.
Managing Appeals and Denials
If your initial claim is denied, don’t lose hope. Our attorneys are experienced in handling the appeals process and can guide you through the necessary steps. We’ll manage everything from filing appeals to representing you before a judge, giving your case the best possible chance of success.
Reducing Stress and Anxiety
Navigating the disability claim process can be overwhelming and stressful. By working with our team, you can focus on your health and well-being while we handle the legal issue. From paperwork to court appearances, we manage everything, so you don’t have to.
What You Can Do if Your Case Is Denied
Receiving a denial can be devastating, but it’s not the end of the process. You have options, and we have the knowledge and expertise to help you pursue them.
Reconsideration
After an initial denial, you have the option to request a reconsideration, or fresh review of your case, by someone who wasn’t involved in the first decision. We help ensure that any previous errors or omissions are corrected during this process.
Hearing Before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ)
If your reconsideration is denied, the next step is to request a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). At this stage, our disability lawyers will act as your legal representation, present your case, and provide additional evidence to support your denied claim.
Appeals Council Review
If the ALJ denies your claim, we can take your case to the Appeals Council, which will review it for any legal errors and determine whether it warrants further review. At this stage, our attorneys review the prior judgment to look for mistakes and meticulously prepare your case to give you the best chance for success.
Federal Court Civil Suit
The final option is a civil suit in federal court, which involves complex legal proceedings as we seek justice for your claim. If you decide to proceed, our attorneys are equipped to fight for your rights and secure the benefits you deserve.
