Frequently Asked Questions

Does Gerald G Lutkenhaus handle both workers comp and Social Security disability cases?
Yes. His practice covers both workers compensation and Social Security disability law, which is useful for clients whose workplace injuries have led to long-term disability.
Can I file for Social Security disability while also receiving workers compensation in Virginia?
Yes, you can pursue both at the same time, though receiving workers compensation benefits may affect the amount of your Social Security disability payment through an offset rule. An attorney can help you understand how both programs interact.
What if my Social Security disability application has already been denied?
A denial is not the end of the process. There are multiple levels of appeal, including reconsideration and a hearing before an administrative law judge, and having legal representation at that stage can be important.
Where is the office located in Richmond?
The office is located at 1238 Tilbury Lane in Richmond, Virginia. You can reach the office by phone at (804) 314-9548 to schedule a consultation.
How long does a Social Security disability case typically take?
The timeline varies depending on whether your claim is approved at the initial stage or requires appeals. Cases that go to an administrative law judge hearing can take a year or more from the time of the original application.
Does the attorney charge upfront fees for disability cases?
Social Security disability attorneys typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning fees are generally collected only if you win your case, and those fees are regulated by the Social Security Administration.
