Man filling in Social Security Disability Claim.

Navigating the complexities of filing a Social Security Disability (SSD) claim can be a daunting task, especially when you are grappling with a serious illness, injury, or disability that has sidelined you from work.

At PLBH, we understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll these circumstances can impose. That’s why we’re dedicated to standing with injured and disabled individuals, ensuring they receive the SSD benefits they rightly deserve and have contributed towards during their working years.

Understanding SSD Benefits

Social Security Disability benefits are not just a safety net; they are a rightful return on the contributions hard-working individuals make to the Social Security system. These benefits aim to provide supplemental income to help you regain your footing after a serious setback has prevented you from earning a living. Yet, despite the noble intent behind SSD benefits, securing them is far from straightforward.

The Challenge of Securing SSD Benefits

Annually, the Social Security Administration processes approximately 2.5 million SSD benefit applications, a significant portion of which are rejected. A common reason for rejection is the lack of professional legal assistance during the application process.

While Social Security Advocates can offer some help in avoiding typical application mistakes, they lack the comprehensive capabilities of experienced Social Security Disability lawyers. This distinction is crucial because a seasoned attorney can navigate the intricacies of the SSD system, enhancing your chances of a successful claim.

We recognize the financial strain you may be under, which is why PLBH offers its services on a contingency fee basis. This means our legal assistance comes at no upfront cost to you; our fee is contingent upon securing your SSD benefits. Given the significant impact that professional legal support can have on the outcome of your claim, engaging with a dedicated SSD attorney is an investment in your future well-being.
