How They Can Help

This firm helps clients pursue workers compensation benefits for injuries that occurred on the job, as well as Social Security disability benefits for those whose medical conditions prevent them from maintaining employment. From preparing and submitting initial applications to representing clients at administrative hearings before a Social Security Administrative Law Judge, the firm guides clients through a process that can be lengthy and complicated without legal assistance. The firm also handles appeals when initial claims are denied, which is a common outcome in Social Security disability cases.

What to Expect

The process typically begins with a consultation to review your medical history, work history, and the nature of your injury or condition. For Social Security disability cases, the firm can assist with the initial application, help gather supporting medical documentation, and prepare you for any hearings that may be required. Workers compensation cases involve filing claims with the appropriate Louisiana entities and negotiating with employers and insurers on your behalf. Clients can expect the firm to keep them updated and explain each step as the case progresses.

Service Area

The firm serves individuals in Metairie, New Orleans, Jefferson Parish, and surrounding communities throughout the southeastern Louisiana region.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between workers compensation and Social Security disability benefits?
Workers compensation covers injuries that happen on the job and is paid through your employer's insurance, while Social Security disability benefits are a federal program that provides income to people who cannot work due to a qualifying medical condition, regardless of how it was caused.
Can I receive both workers compensation and Social Security disability at the same time?
In many cases yes, but receiving both can affect the amount you receive from each program due to offset rules. An attorney familiar with both systems can help you understand how these benefits interact in your specific situation.
My Social Security disability claim was denied. Can the firm help me appeal?
Yes. Many initial Social Security disability claims are denied, and the firm can assist with the appeals process, including requesting reconsideration and representing you at a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge.
How long does a Social Security disability case typically take in Louisiana?
The timeline varies, but the process from initial application through a hearing decision can take a year or more. Filing accurately and completely from the start, with legal assistance, can help avoid unnecessary delays.
What kind of injuries or conditions qualify for Social Security disability?
The Social Security Administration maintains a list of qualifying conditions, but many claims are approved based on how your specific condition affects your ability to work. Medical documentation and work history are both important factors in the evaluation.
How do I contact the firm to discuss my workers compensation or disability case?
You can call the firm at (504) 608-6776 to discuss your situation and find out whether you may have a valid workers compensation or Social Security disability claim.
