Social Security Disability

Social Security is a Federal program that most people believe only provides retirement benefits, but this is not the case. There is also a complex disability component to the Social Security program. Social Security Disability (SSD) is part of the Federal Social Security program that provides monthly disability payments to those who are younger than retirement age, but who are unable to engage in substantial employment activities and have worked enough previously to qualify for benefits. Supplement Security Income (SSI) is part of the Social Security Program that provides monthly disability benefits to those who have not worked long enough to qualify for SSD and benefits are awarded on a needs-based basis.

The difficultly in qualifying for these benefits is that Social Security is a complicated area of law with several loopholes and pitfalls for those who are unfamiliar with the process. We have years of experience in providing clients with Social Security Representation. Unlike most other law firms, we provide our clients with representation from the very beginning initial application all the way through the hearing and appeals process. More detailed information on SSD, SSI, and all the various steps necessary in applying and qualifying for Social Security benefits, please contact us.

If you are no longer able to work due to some serious physical injury, mental incapacity, illness or any of several other unfortunate circumstances, you have options. Contact the Nelson Law Office immediately to secure Social Security Disability representation to begin the process of obtaining the benefits you deserve.

Personal Injury Claims

Personal injury can result in devastating and irreparable damage that often exacts an enormous toll on an individual and their family. Victims of serious personal injury are often faced with making life-altering decisions about their future, including financial decisions, while suffering from the emotional turmoil that accompanies
such a traumatic event. The legal system can be complicated and confusing, making it all the more critical to have a trusted and knowledgeable counselor to provide experienced and unwavering representation.

To file a personal injury claim, you must be able to show that you have suffered an injury, physically or mentally, as the result of another party's negligence or intentional wrongdoing. If you believe yourself or a loved one is the victim of a personal injury, the first step is to seek medical attention, as some injuries may not appear as severe as they really are. Your next step should be to consult with an experienced Oklahoma personal injury lawyer at Nelson Law before you give any official statements or sign papers of any kind. As all personal injury claims are different, we can discuss your case with you and determine the best course of legal action you should take.

If you or a loved one has been the victim of a personal injury, you do have legal rights and you may be entitled to take legal action against those responsible for your injuries. However, determining whether another party was negligent and is liable for your injuries requires legal expertise. It is important to consult with a qualified personal injury attorney at Nelson Law Office to thoroughly and properly evaluate the issues involved with your claim, as well as discuss the legal options that are available.
