About Ricci Law Firm Injury Lawyers

Ricci Law Firm Injury Lawyers brings a multi-practice approach to serving injured and disabled clients in Durham, North Carolina. Located at 2828 Pickett Rd, Suite 150a, the firm handles Social Security disability claims alongside personal injury and workers compensation cases, which means clients dealing with overlapping legal needs do not have to go to multiple offices. That combination of practice areas can be particularly valuable for workers whose job-related injuries have left them unable to return to any form of employment. The firm's presence in Durham puts it close to clients throughout the Triangle area who are struggling after accidents or long-term disabling conditions. Social Security disability cases in particular require patience and persistence, as initial applications are denied at high rates and many claimants must pursue appeals before they see results. Ricci Law Firm's inclusion of Social Security law as a formal practice area signals a commitment to guiding clients through that often frustrating process.

How They Can Help

Ricci Law Firm Injury Lawyers helps clients pursue compensation and benefits across three distinct but often interconnected legal areas. For Social Security disability clients, the firm assists with preparing and submitting initial applications, gathering medical evidence, and representing claimants at hearings before an Administrative Law Judge when initial claims are denied. Workers compensation clients receive help navigating North Carolina Industrial Commission procedures, disputing denied claims, and securing medical treatment and wage replacement benefits. On the personal injury side, the firm pursues damages for accident victims against negligent drivers, property owners, and other responsible parties.

What to Expect

New clients at Ricci Law Firm Injury Lawyers can expect the process to begin with a review of their situation to determine which legal options apply. For disability cases, that means looking at your medical records, work history, and the reasons behind any prior denials. For injury cases, it means understanding how the accident happened and what losses you have suffered. The firm then develops a strategy tailored to your specific circumstances, handles communications with the Social Security Administration or insurance companies, and keeps you informed as your case moves forward through the application, negotiation, or hearing stages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Ricci Law Firm handle Social Security disability appeals?
Yes. The firm's practice areas include Social Security law, which covers the full range of the disability process including appeals. If your initial application was denied, an attorney can review your case and help you pursue a reconsideration or a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge.
What is the difference between SSDI and SSI?
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is based on your work history and the Social Security taxes you paid during your career. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a needs-based program for individuals with limited income and resources, regardless of work history. Some people qualify for both programs at the same time.
Can Ricci Law Firm help if my workers compensation claim was denied?
Yes. Denied workers compensation claims in North Carolina can be contested through the Industrial Commission's hearing process. The firm can review the reasons for the denial and help you challenge the decision and pursue the benefits you are entitled to.
If I cannot work due to an injury, can I file for both workers compensation and Social Security disability?
In many cases, yes, though the two programs interact in specific ways and there are rules about how workers compensation payments affect Social Security disability benefits. Because Ricci Law Firm handles both practice areas, they can help you understand how pursuing both simultaneously may affect your overall situation.
How long does a Social Security disability case typically take?
The timeline varies considerably. Initial decisions from the Social Security Administration often take three to six months, and appeals can extend the process significantly longer. Cases that reach the hearing level before an Administrative Law Judge can take a year or more from application to decision, which is why having legal representation early in the process is helpful.

The firm's Durham office is located at 2828 Pickett Rd, Suite 150a. You can reach the office by phone at (919) 635-9957 to schedule a consultation.
