The point of Social Security and workers' compensation is to keep you as close as possible to the earning capacity you had at the time of your injury or disability. You've paid taxes into the system throughout your career, and if you are unable to work, you now have some protection. Let us help you get those benefits.

Help With ADA (Americans With Disabilities Act)
Passed in 1990 to give civil rights protections to those with disabilities, ADA (the Americans with Disabilities Act) can help you collect compensation from Social Security.
You are eligible for disability insurance benefits only if you have paid a certain amount of Social Security tax over a specific period of time. If you are over 30 years of age, for instance, you must have paid FICA in no less than 20 calendar quarters during the 40 calendar quarters just prior to the time your total disability began.
That means that you must have worked and paid Social Security tax for 5 out of the last 10 years before you became totally disabled. Workers who become disabled before age 31 need fewer quarters.
An individual must prove that he or she became disabled while disability insurance coverage was in force or that person is not entitled to disability insurance benefits, even if the medical condition is very serious. Fallon Law has the experience to help you make your case and get the benefits coming to you.
