As you can see it makes a difference where you live and where your case is assigned.
You need to make sure that you present a strong case to the Judge to increase your odds.
This means going to your doctors and explaining your major problems and limitations.
Ask for prescriptions for canes, walkers, or braces that are needed.
Make sure to ask for the doctor’s office to complete disability placard forms and any notes describing your limitations.
Remember that it does not cost to get a Social Security lawyer to help you. You only pay if you win money.

Your Injury Case- What the Judge Sees
Whether it be a work injury, motor vehicle injury case, or Social Security Disability case, you want to make sure the Judge thinks favorably of you and your case.
Remember the Judge sees a large number of cases.
This means the Judge will have a sample size from which she compares with your case.
Make sure your case stands out in the right way, and influences the Judge to rule in your favor.
The Judge will be looking at your work history, the doctor’s notes, medical treatment, complaints of pain and physical and mental limitations.
A good work history indicates a willingness to work when able.
Doctor notes containing a clear history of your injury supports your testimony regarding how you were hurt and what body parts were injured.
Compliance with medical treatment shows that you are doing everything you can to get better.
Avoiding alcohol and drug abuse shows that your problems are related to your injuries and not substance abuse.
Complaints of pain and restrictions in your medical records supports your testimony at trial regarding pain and suffering.
Being polite and forthright in testimony before the Judge gives her impression that you can be trusted and are serious about your claim.
The idea is to make it easy for the Judge to empathize with you and want to help you.
