Paul F Guthrie

Paul F. Guthrie practices out of 120 N Upper Street in Lexington, Kentucky, concentrating his work in Social Security law and workers compensation, two areas that frequently intersect when a client suffers a serious workplace injury. His Yelp profile reflects a 2.3-star average from 3 reviews, which gives prospective clients a starting point, though a direct conversation at (859) 494-5858 will give a clearer sense of how he approaches cases. The combination of Social Security and workers compensation experience in a single practice is practically useful. Workers who are injured on the job sometimes find that their workers comp benefits end while their disability persists, at which point Social Security disability benefits become critical. Having an attorney who understands both systems can help clients transition more smoothly and avoid gaps in coverage or income.

Paul F. Guthrie assists clients with filing Social Security disability claims and works through the appeals process when those claims are denied. On the workers compensation side, he helps injured workers document their injuries, deal with employer and insurance company disputes, and pursue the benefits they are owed under Kentucky law. For clients who are managing both a workers comp claim and a long-term disability situation, he can address how the two interact, including any offset provisions that may reduce one benefit when the other is in payment.

Working with Paul F. Guthrie typically begins with a review of your medical records, your employment history, and any existing claim filings with the Social Security Administration or your employer's workers compensation insurer.
