Chicago Personal Injury Attorneys
Illinois Social Security Disability Lawyers
Injuries caused by negligence are a type of tort, and a victim of an injury caused by the negligence of another may be entitled to compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. A personal injury victim may also be eligible to receive social security disability benefits for any injuries caused by negligence. At Ankin Law , our skilled Chicago personal injury and disability attorneys focus on helping the victims of injuries caused negligence, such as auto accidents, trucking accidents, bike accidents, slip and falls, medical malpractice, and animal attacks, recover for their injuries through personal injury claims, as well as obtaining social security benefits.
Social Security Disability Benefits
The social security system provides benefits to disabled persons, including those individuals who become disabled as a result of negligence, under two separate, but similar, programs. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) provides benefits to persons who meet the disability requirements and have worked long enough and recently enough to be “insured” for disability benefits. The amount of SSDI varies depending on the person’s previous contributions to the Social Security program. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits are available to disabled persons who have limited income and resources.
Damages for Injuries Caused by Negligence
Injuries caused by negligence involve seeking compensation for physical injuries, property damage, emotional injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering through a personal injury lawsuit.
