Why Do I Need a SSDI Attorney?
Serving Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and surrounding areas
The Social Security Administration (SSA)’s Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a valuable program put into place to help disabled workers by providing financial benefits.
Unfortunately, the regulations are complex, the forms and application process are complicated and tedious, and the SSA regularly denies legitimate disability claims. In fact, the SSA routinely forces workers to enter into an even more complex appeals process.
Hiring an experienced and qualified SSDI attorney can help you ensure you get the benefits you deserve — and puts a lot of the worry and stress out of your hands and into those of a competent legal advisor.
An attorney can be especially important to you during the appeals process, if you have been initially denied benefits. An attorney can help you provide the legal documents and testimony necessary to prove you are indeed suffering from a qualifying disability.
Here are just a few things an attorney will do to assist you in the SSDI process:
- An experienced attorney can answer detailed questions and assist you in preparing all of your paperwork when you first submit a disability claim.
- If you are denied benefits, an experienced attorney will request an appeal hearing with the Social Security Administration.
- An attorney will prepare you to testify at the hearing and will find and present expert witnesses on your behalf.
- An attorney will assist you in gathering documents like medical records and other evidence to support your claim and prepare a defense against any witnesses provided by the SSA.
It’s clear, from legal statistics and federal benefits reports, that disabled workers who hire an attorney to help them with the SSDI process are granted benefits far more often than those who do not.

Although medical professionals are required by law to exercise the utmost care, skill and diligence when treating their patients, it is estimated that over 90,000 people every year are either injured or killed due to physician or nurse error. 
When workers are injured, employers and their workers compensation insurance carrier are responsible for providing those employees with the medical care they need as quickly as possible. 
If you are disabled, and can no longer work, the federal government offers disability payments to individuals who qualify under the Social Security Disability Insurance plan.
