Filing for Disability After a Massachusetts Accident
If you have suffered a disabling injury in a Massachusetts car or workplace accident that was caused by someone else's negligence, you may be able to collect Social Security Disability payments.
According to the Social Security Administration (SSA), you can receive Social Security payments if your disability is expected to last for more than one year and if it prevents you from working.
However, there are other factors involved as well, including how long you worked prior to your accident and whether you paid Social Security taxes. If you are unsure about how to collect disability, contact the Social Security Disability attorneys at the Kiley Law Group to learn more about how you can support yourself and your family after a life-altering injury.
Important Information for Filing for Social Security Benefits
To reduce the chances of being denied benefits for your social security disability claim, you needs to present the following paperwork that proves your eligibility.
- Social Security Number
- Medical diagnosis
- Doctor's information
- Previous work history
- Documentation proving citizenship
“Disability” under Social Security is defined as the inability to work. The rules for disability under Social Security include:
- You cannot do work that you did before;
- You cannot adjust to other work because of your medical condition; and
- Your disability has lasted or is expected to last for at least one year or to result in death.
