Disabled? Don't Accept a Denied Social Security Claim

Have you heard that Social Security is only for the elderly? It is not true. Social security benefits are available to people of all ages when there is a physical disability or mental health issue.

If you are ready to apply for Social Security disability benefits or if your initial application has been denied, I can help you. I am Christopher L. Trahan, a personal injury and Social Security disability attorney representing the injured and the disabled throughout southern Louisiana.

Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income

Social Security benefits come in two forms: Social Security disability insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Both provide financial assistance, but SSDI is given based on work history. With SSI, the monthly stipend is paid based on individual need to those with limited assets and limited work history.

To discuss your situation and which form of Social Security disability best fits your needs, contact me to schedule a free initial consultation. For 15 years, I have been fighting to protect the rights of people like you. I have the professional resources, the commitment and the record of success required to be effective in your Social Security disability case.

Initial Denials are Common, So Appeal

If your initial application for Social Security disability benefits has been denied, you have options. In my experience, most applications are denied. However, there is an appeals system in place, and I have experience successfully working through the appeals process on behalf of my clients.

I know the application and appeals processes for Social Security disability can be extremely frustrating. The good news is that having a lawyer who has handled these claims can ease your frustration and potentially increase your chances of receiving benefits.

I Offer a Free Initial Consultation
