About Slechter Law Firm

Slechter Law Firm is based on Bush Ridge Drive in Louisville, Kentucky, and brings together three distinct but related practice areas under one roof: Social Security disability law, workers compensation, and personal injury. This combination is practical for many clients, since injuries that prevent someone from working can give rise to multiple types of legal claims at the same time. For Louisville residents navigating the Social Security Administration's application and appeals process, having a firm that also understands workers compensation and injury law means the full picture of a client's situation can be addressed. Kentucky claimants dealing with denied disability applications or workplace injuries can reach the firm at its Bush Ridge Drive office to discuss their circumstances and understand what legal paths are available to them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Slechter Law Firm handle Social Security disability cases?
Yes, Social Security law is one of the firm's listed practice areas. Slechter Law Firm assists clients with SSDI and SSI applications, as well as appeals of denied claims through the SSA's review process.
What is the difference between SSDI and SSI?
SSDI, or Social Security Disability Insurance, is based on your work history and the Social Security taxes you have paid. SSI, or Supplemental Security Income, is a needs-based program for people with limited income and resources. Some applicants qualify for both.
Can I have both a workers compensation claim and a Social Security disability claim at the same time?
Yes, and it is actually common. If your work injury has left you unable to work long-term, you may qualify for both workers compensation benefits under Kentucky law and Social Security disability benefits through the SSA. The two programs have different rules, and a firm like Slechter that handles both can help you manage them.
What happens if my Social Security disability application is denied?
Most initial applications are denied. You have the right to appeal, and the process includes a reconsideration review and then a hearing before an administrative law judge. Having legal representation at the hearing stage significantly helps applicants understand the process and present their case effectively.

The firm is located at 2507 Bush Ridge Drive, Suite A, in Louisville, Kentucky. You can reach them by phone at (502) 384-7400.
Does Slechter Law Firm take personal injury cases?
Yes, in addition to Social Security and workers compensation matters, the firm also handles personal injury cases involving accidents and injuries caused by another party's negligence.
