Why Does It Have to be so Complicated When I am Hurt?

The law in Illinois is complex when it deals with work injuries, personal injuries and Social Security Disability.

You just do not have the time, knowledge, and ability to juggle everything when you are seriously hurt.

Pain is overwhelming and invades every part of our lives.

You need someone who will help guide you through the process so that you can come out on top.

It does not cost you anything up front to get experienced help.

Lawyers who represent you in work injury, car crashes, falls and Social Security Disability cases charge you only if they win money for you.

The peace of mind and guidance is worth it.

Make sure that you partner with an experienced lawyer so they can help you through the process as painlessly as possible.

Top Doctor Visit Tip for Social Security Disability

The odds are stacked against people who are seeking Social Security Disability.

This is because Social Security is running out of money and there is political pressure to deny more and more disability applicants.

So make sure that you do all you can to make your case as strong as possible.

One important thing to remember: what is in your medical records can really help your case.

When you go to the doctor or the nurse make sure that you take a piece of paper with you explaining your recent problems and how it effects you.

Hand it to them and politely ask them to make sure that it gets in your notes.

Do this every time you go to the doctor.

You do not have to tell them that you are trying for Social Security Disability.

For instance, the note may look something like this: my leg swells throughout the day and I have to elevate it above my waist for 20 minutes every hour, or my hands are numb and tingle when I have to use them more than a few minutes at a time and it causes me to drop things.

Doing this simple task for each doctor visit will really help your case.
