Social Security Disability Claims
The law firm of Coats & Todd has helped Texans win Social Security benefits for physical and/or mental impairments. Even if your claim was denied, we can step in to take your case.
Our philosophy is to treat you as a person, not a case number. We know that a disabling injury or illness is frustrating, and that dealing with the Social Security Administration can be maddening. Let us take on the burden while you continue to see your doctors and focus on recovery. Contact us today for a free consultation. We serve clients in Plano, the entire DFW Metroplex, throughout Texas, and nationwide.
Experienced Representation in SSDI and Related Claims
- Social Security Disability (SSDI) — If your condition will keep you out of work for at least 12 months, SSDI provides benefits based on what you have paid in to the system.
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI) — If you have never worked or worked only sporadically, SSI benefits provide a vital safety net.
- Widows/Children/Survivors Claims — We pursue survivors benefits if a spouse or parent is deceased and disability claims for a child who is disabled.
- Benefits for Family Members — If you meet the criteria, your children under 18 and a spouse or former spouse may qualify for disability benefits also.
- Dire Need Claims — If you are terminally ill, have a Notice of Eviction or are already homeless, you may qualify for an expedited hearing of your claim.
Our lawyers handle all SSDI and SSI cases, including hard-to-prove cases such as:
- Mental Illness Claims — Depression, anxiety, PTSD, schizophrenia, phobias and other impairments
- Back Injuries — Herniated disc, degenerated disc, pinched nerves and other neck and back impairments
- Pain Disorders — Chronic pain and difficult diagnoses, such as fibromyalgia, arthritis, lupus and regional pain syndrome
- Diabetes — Severe secondary effects of diabetes, including foot ulcers, kidney damage, loss of sensation and impaired vision
The Disability Claims Process
Was your claim denied? Do not give up hope. It doesn't mean you don't meet the criteria. It often means that we have work to do in order to more fully document your diagnosis, treatment and the impact on your ability to hold a job. We also educate clients on how to work with your doctors to give useful information in their reports.
Coats & Todd will take your case as far as necessary through the appeals process and into Federal Court if warranted. We will prepare you for a disability hearing before an administrative law judge and our attorneys will be there at your side. Common Questions
