Car Accident Back Injury

Many car accident cases cause low back injury, The defense will try to argue that the back is padded against the seat so how could the injury occur. However most if not all competent doctors that I have gotten reports from have no problem relating a back injury to a car accident especially if there is no prior or recent back injury and the back complaints are registered in close proximity to the car accident.

Disc injury is a more severe type of back injury and may result in surgery and chronic pain and limitation. Here is a great link that explains about the disc anatomy.

Social security benefits available if you have a serious injury that could last for more than a year

If you suffer a serious personal injury or any illnesss for that matter you should apply for social security disability. The requirement to get benefits is that your injury is going to last for more than a year and cause you not to be gainfully employed.

Most people believe Social Security is a Federal program that only prov ides retirement benefits. This is not the case. There is a complex disability component to the Social Security program.

Who is disabled and who is not disabled has evolved into a complex question that is not always easily answered. As a result, the Social Security application and decision process has become increasingly complex and now, more than ever, requires that a skilled Social Security Lawyer be involved in the process from the beginning application.

Social Security denies approximately 70% - 75% of the applications for disability. Approximately 60% -70% of these denials are turned into accepted claims after either reconsideration or a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. Having a Social Security Disability Lawyer working for you at these stages can greatly increase your chances of success at the reconsideration or Administrative Law Judge hearing level before the Social Security Administration.

If you are applying for Social Security Disability benefits, having a lawyer on your side that has a strong knowledge of how the Social Security Disability claims process works is critical and can greatly improve your chances of getting your case approved in the application stage or at the hearing level.

Cincinnati Workers Compensation Trap

Recently a court of appeals decided a case in Ohio that has significant implications if you claim a workers compensation injury that was caused by the fault of a third party. In that case you not only have a workers compensation claim but also a claim against the person who caused your injury.

The trap comes about if workers compensation disputes you were injured in this event. If they find against you then the person who caused your injury may also be let off the hook. The reason is that the Court said that lack of injury has already been determined by the workers compensation board and this decision is allowed to be CONCLUSIVELY used against you in the third party case.

There are ways to fight this . But if you have two attorneys handling separate aspects of your case you may run into a problem of communication. That's why it may be important to hire an attorney versed in Ohio workers compensation law and who also handles personal injury claims.

This problem could easily come up if you were a driver for a company and were injured in a car accident while on the job thru the fault of another. SO BE Careful

I handle both Cincinnati Ohio workers compensation as well as personal injury cases. Feel free to call me for a free consultation.
