York County Injury Lawyers

When the residents of York County suffer a debilitating injury or illness that prevents them from working, they could be entitled to benefits through the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program. These benefits replace a person’s wages, and help pay for essentials like food, clothing, and shelter.

Unfortunately, recovering these benefits is not always guaranteed. In fact, initial claims are denied by the Social Security Administration (SSA)more often than they are approved. The York County Social Security Disability lawyers at Rutter Mills could help you appeal your denial and fight for the benefits you deserve.

Improving Your Chances of a Successful Claim

While you can never guarantee success in your SSDI claim, there are certain steps you could take to avoid hurting your claim. First and foremost, always be truthful throughout the process. If you are dishonest in your application or make a contradictory statement, it could result in permanent denial.

Describe your disability accurately. You should never exaggerate, as your medical records could make it clear it is not as serious as you suggest. On the flip side, do not downplay the severity. It is natural for some people to put on a brave face, but SSA could use that against you.

You should continue to see your doctor and follow all treatment modalities. If you are awarded benefits, and you stop treatment for your disability, it could provide SSA grounds for revoking them. If you have not been diagnosed with a specific disability, seek medical treatment immediately. It will be difficult to prove this without extensive medical records backing you up.

Appealing a Social Security Benefits Denial

Despite your best efforts, your initial claim could be denied. The good news is that you have the right to appeal. The appeals process can be complex without the guidance of our team of lawyers for social security disability (SSD) benefits.

There is a strict deadline for appealing your denial. An appeal filed more than 60 days after the initial denial—means you could be barred automatically. Further, waiting too long could forever waive your right to appeal.

The appeals process is similar in every case. First, you must request that your case be reconsidered. Second, you will receive a hearing in front of an administrative law judge. If you are unhappy with the result, your next step could be to file for an Appeals Council review. Your final option during this process is to file an appeal in the appropriate federal district court.

Donald D.

Mr. Young and his team exceeded my expectations in the way they handled the case and kept me informed. They got involved with my medical billing issues from the accident and a workman's comp claim. They have resolved the issues with workman's comp. I would whole-heartedly recommend this firm.

David C.

Firm is solid, professional, and they care about their clients. Mr. Porcaro and his assistant are awesome. They have your best interest at heart. They really want you to be treated fairly and that is invaluable. They are professionals and I give them both 5 stars out of 5. Win or lose they battle for fairness, and for your best interest, and that is what it is about.

Chris I.

I can't praise Rutter Mills law firm enough Catherine Foster is not only a great paralegal handling my lawsuit with my lawyer Dan Dallia I truly consider her like family.So many times I was depressed and in pain and she would talk me through it encouraging me to be strong.She is also going through a lot like myself and completely understands and is able to show compassion a fully healthy healthy person couldn't.The discovery she provided me amazed me,and was so thorough very professional.I consider her my friend for life!

Claudette W.

I was hit from behind while sitting at a stoplight . The other insurance company kept dragging their feet and trying to minimize the damage that was done and the medical issues I had after the accident. Gina Montgomery was a joy to work with. She kept me posted on what was going on with my case. She asked for my opinion on how I wanted to handle things during the case. She even took the time to pull me aside during the deposition when she saw me getting upset at the other lawyer trying to trick me. At first, I did not plan to contact a lawyer. I definitely did not think I had a Rutter Mills case. But I'm so glad I called them.

Quinton B.

Absolutely amazing! I recommend Georgina and Morgan for all legal needs. They are attentive, in depth, and have your best interest at hand and put you first!
