How will my workers' compensation case affect my Social Security case?
Your worker's compensation case may have a very significant impact upon your Social Security case. In terms of your benefits, your worker's compensation payments may totally offset your Social Security payments - in this case, it may not be possible for my office to handle your case on a contingency since there may be no back benefits. In other cases, your worker's compensation settlement can be structured as a lifetime pay out, thereby reducing or eliminating your worker's compensation offset.
If you have a worker's compensation claim, it is crucial that you advise us about it so we can properly advise you about Social Security. If you are not represented by an attorney in your worker's compensation case, we offer our clients the benefit of our expertise and experience in both worker's compensation and Social Security Disability.
