Frequently Asked Questions

What does Martin J. McKeown's law practice focus on?
His practice is concentrated in Social Security disability law and workers compensation law, two areas that both deal with people who are unable to work or have been injured and need legal help obtaining benefits.
I already received a denial from Social Security. Is it too late to get help?
No. In fact, many successful disability claims go through the appeals process, including a hearing before an administrative law judge. An attorney can be especially valuable at the hearing stage, where you have the opportunity to present testimony and evidence directly.
How does workers compensation work in Oregon?
Oregon has a no-fault workers compensation system, which means you generally do not need to prove your employer was negligent to receive benefits for a work-related injury. Benefits can include medical treatment coverage and wage replacement while you recover.
What medical conditions commonly qualify for Social Security disability?
Social Security considers a wide range of physical and mental conditions, including musculoskeletal disorders, heart and lung conditions, neurological disorders, and mental health conditions. The key is showing that your condition is severe enough to prevent you from working.
Can I handle a Social Security disability claim on my own without an attorney?
You can file on your own, but the process involves detailed medical and work history documentation, strict deadlines, and complex rules about what evidence Social Security considers. Many applicants find that legal representation, particularly at the hearing level, significantly improves their chances.
