Helping With Your Doctors in Fort Worth
Your doctor may be providing you with the treatment you need for your disabling condition, but not the documentation you need. Our SSD attorneys instruct our clients on how to obtain the documentation they need to successfully pursue a claim:
- See your doctor regularly: A disabling condition typically requires extensive medical treatment.
- Get documentation: Make sure your doctor or nurse is taking notes about your condition and treatment. Our lawyers can instruct them on what information is important.
- Tell your doctor everything: Any little detail could play an important role in your claim. Don't be afraid to complain at the doctor's office.
- Follow your doctor's orders: A record of treatment is very important evidence in an SSD claim.
We will keep a detailed file on your condition, including records from your doctor, physical therapist and other health care providers. With more than 40 years of combined experience, our lawyers know what evidence is likely to work in your SSD claim or appeal.
