You do not have to collect your medical records—our staff will gather the medical records necessary to support your claim for benefits.

The Result Matters: As personal injury lawyers, our representation is focused on results: verdicts and settlements. We have successfully recovered millions for our clients, compensation they have used to rebuild their lives.

The disability claim process is confusing and complex at best, and frequently becomes discouraging. Often a Social Security Disability claim or claim for benefits under private disability insurance or workers' compensation stems from an injury that entitles the applicant to an additional personal injury claim. In order to see that you recover the maximum overall benefit, and have explored all sources of compensation available, it is important to talk with an attorney with the appropriate experience as soon as you realize you will be unable to work for several weeks.

A Social Security Disability claim needs to be handled differently than a claim under West Virginia or Pennsylvania workers' compensation laws, and requires a much more compelling argument—you must allege that you are not able to perform any significant work. Issues that affect an SSD claim include your age, education, work experience, and the type of injury. Qualifying injuries include congestive heart failure, diabetes, a back injury, a knee injury, a psychological condition such as bipolar disorder or depression, and cancer. Our attorneys have been successful in developing the necessary medical evidence and persuasive case necessary to obtain benefits for our clients in initial claims, in hearings before administrative judges, and in later stages of the appeals process.
