Social Security Disability Lawyers

Our attorneys understand how difficult the appeals process can be on a family that has lost its income due to illness or injury.

When the Social Security Administration denies your claim for Disability benefits, you can trust us to help you appeal and fight for the benefits you’re entitled to. Erie Injury handles both SSI claims and Disability (SSD/SSDI) claims and we strongly believe that all individuals, regardless of income, are entitled to excellent legal representation in their SSI claims. We offer free consultations and we never charge a fee unless we get you a recovery. While the application for Social Security disability can be done over the phone, online, or in person at your local Social Security office, we highly recommend retaining an experienced attorney to help file your initial disability application. Most applications are denied and there are many pitfalls we can help you avoid when filling out the application yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions About Social Security

How do I appeal Social Security Disability denial?

If you were denied benefits, we highly recommend you hire one of our Erie, PA Social Security Disability and SSI lawyers to file your disability reconsideration or file your appeal with the Office of Hearings Operations (OHO), where your case will be reviewed by an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). Because there’s a limited period of time in which your reconsideration or appeal can be filed, you should call our firm immediately after you receive your “Notice of Denial” from Social Security, before it’s too late. We can appeal your case to the ALJ who, by law, performs an entirely new review of your case. We build your case, submit evidence, and represent you at your hearing.
How do I appeal a Social Security Disability claim after a judge denies my claim?

If you already had your hearing with an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) and your disability claim was denied a second time. you should contact a local Erie, PA disability lawyer to determine if it makes sense to file another appeal to the Appeals Council. If it does, we can review the ALJ’s decision, review the record, listen to the audio transcript, and make your case to the Appeals Council as to why the ALJ got it wrong. While some people choose to handle the initial applications on their own, for an appeal, you should absolutely hire a lawyer. This is too important to mess up.

Should I file for Early Retirement or Apply for Social Security Disability?

A large portion of disabled Americans over the age of sixty file for early retirement instead of applying for the Disability benefits to which they’re entitled. While some people wrongly think that Disability isn’t worth the hassle, most people don’t realize that applying for Disability instead can save them tens of thousands of dollars! Because there is no one-size-fits-all approach, the only way to know which avenue is better for you is to speak with a disability attorney.
