Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between workers compensation and a personal injury lawsuit?

Workers compensation provides benefits regardless of fault but usually cannot be sued over. Personal injury lawsuits require proving someone else was at fault but can result in higher damages. Crabtree can explain which option applies to your situation.

How long does a Social Security disability application take?

Initial applications typically take several months to receive a decision. If denied, the appeal process can extend the timeline significantly. Crabtree's office manages the paperwork and represents you throughout.

Can I work while receiving Social Security disability benefits?

Limited work is permitted under Social Security rules, but exceeding income thresholds can affect benefits. Crabtree advises clients on work incentive programs that protect their benefit status.
