FAQ

Social Security

If you have a permanent disability and can no longer work because
 of your impairment, you may be eligible to receive Social Security disability benefits including a
monthly payment to supplement your income (SSI) and/or health care and prescription coverage.
The criteria for qualifying for
Social Security is extensive and the application process takes a long time. The government is in
 no hurry to give benefits and
most people will be denied on
 the first application. However,
 you can appeal your decision
and have your appeal heard
before an Administrative Law Judge. Attorney Richard M.
Brooks has successfully
assisted many people in
receiving their social security benefits.

Workers Compensation and Social Security


Worker's Compensation

Everyday, thousands of people are injured while on the job. Worker's
Compensation is an insurance paid by the employer to provide the injured worker with
the necessary medical care and treatment for their injury. In some instances, Worker's
Compensation will pay an injured worker for the time they have missed because of their
injury and any diminished future earning capacity. The Worker's Compensation laws change
frequently so you will need an attorney that has a working knowledge of these changes
and can assist you in getting the compensation you need and deserve.
