Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between workers compensation and Social Security disability?

Workers compensation addresses injuries or illnesses directly caused by employment and provides benefits through employer insurance. Social Security disability is a federal program available regardless of work history. If your condition stems from a workplace injury, workers compensation may provide faster benefits than Social Security disability.

Can I receive both workers compensation and Social Security disability simultaneously?

You may be eligible for both, though Social Security will offset your SSDI benefits by the workers compensation amount you receive. Pitts & Zanaty can explain how receiving both benefits might affect your total compensation.

What if my workers compensation claim was denied?

Denials can be appealed through the workers compensation system. Pitts & Zanaty can review the denial reason, file an appeal, and represent you in disputes with the insurance carrier. Many denials can be successfully overturned with proper legal advocacy.
