Helping You Understand Disability Benefits

If you are disabled and unable to work due to an injury, you may be confused about your rights in regard to disability benefits. You know that you are unable to work due to your disability, but the understanding ends there.

The lawyers at Baker & Baker, Injury Attorneys, in Pensacola, can help you understand your rights to disability benefits under different policies, laws, and programs. We can explain your options, and if you qualify, we can help you apply for disability benefits to support yourself and your family.

Disability Benefits: How Do I Qualify?

Based on how many years you have worked, the type of insurance policy you have, and the type of company you worked for, we can help determine if you qualify for disability benefits. You may be entitled to long-term disability benefits under Social Security Disability (SSD), or through your employer's disability insurance policy, or through your personal insurance policy.

If you are unable to work for at least 12 months and have worked for enough years to qualify, we can help you file for Social Security Disability benefits. We can also explain how the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) may help ensure that you get disability benefits under your employer's insurance policy.

It is very important to talk with a lawyer as soon as you are unable to work because of your disability. Your initial application for disability benefits is the potentially permanent record of your claim, therefore, you will benefit greatly from working with an experienced disability attorney.
