Man Seriously Injured At N.y. Worksite May Qualify For SSDi
According to police, a man suffered a serious leg injury from a late morning accident in Southampton, New York, at 2510 Montauk Highway. Members of the Bridgehampton Ambulance, Corp., had the victim airlifted to Stony Brook after responding to the accident.Details of the accident were not available at the time. This accident follows a deadly accident the previous day when a man was killed in a forklift accident at a Montauk marina.Workplace accidents in the United States are not uncommon. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2014, there were nearly 3.0 million nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses reported.Although this number appears to be especially alarming, it actually represents a continual decline in annual injuries over the last 12 years, with the exception of 2012. Strict regulations and an emphasis on safety may mean fewer accidents, but accidents are sometimes inevitable. Workers can be seriously or permanently injured or killed in such accidents.The disabling injuries are expected to last at least a year or end in death. It can also be proven that the injuries prevent the victim from finding gainful employment during that time. He may be entitled to Social Security Disability Insurance or Supplemental Security Income.Proving one's case to the Social Security Administration can be an intimidating and lengthy endeavor though. It may be wise to seek professional help from a firm familiar with Social Security Disability benefits to make certain you build a strong case, maximizing your chance of being accepted into the program.Source: Southampton Patch, "Man Seriously Injured in Bridgehampton Work Site Accident: Police," Lisa Finn, Feb. 19, 2016
Hiring Terry Katz and associates to represent my interests in my Workers Compensation and Social Security Disability case proved to be a smart decision that yielded an extremely successful outcome.
Through the lengthy and intricate process I came to realize just how valuable having a team of highly skilled representation was, and that is just how to describe the law firm of Terry Katz and Associates “Highly skilled legal representation”. I’d like to thank the entire team who worked on both my cases all of whom were always professional, knowledgeable and extremely caring. Throughout my entire case all of my calls and emails were always returned in a timely manner. My questions always answered competently and professionally. I always understood the process and felt a confidence in the process that I would not have had if not for hiring Terry Katz and Associates.
Mostly I’d like to thank Ms. Langdale who worked tirelessly on both my workers compensation case and my social security disability case. Her representation and legal prowess in the court room was nothing short of impressive to witness. I will never forget how confidently represented and protected I felt during her opening remarks at my social security disability hearing.
During these difficult times I was truly grateful to have Ms. Langdale working so diligently and expertly for my interests.
