Required

Living with a disability is never easy, especially if you have been accustomed to supporting yourself for your entire adult life. If you are suffering from a disabling condition that prevents you from working, we can help you find financial support that may be available to you.

The options available to you depend on several factors, including whether a current or former employer provided disability benefits, your work history, and the severity of your condition. An experienced disability attorney can review your case and help you find the option that is best for you. Before you file a claim, reach out to a Kansas City disability lawyer for legal support today.

Social Security Disability Insurance

The SSDI program provides benefits for people who are no longer able to work due to a disabling injury or illness. A Kansas City disability attorney can help with applying for SSDI benefits or appealing a denial.

Support For Other Disability Claims

In addition to applying for SSDI benefits, there are sometimes other options available. Many people do not realize that short-term or long-term disability benefits may be available through benefit plans offered by current or former employers, even if the employment has ended.

Others may be covered under individual disability policies or benefits that are automatically provided by federal or state employers. For current or former railroad employees, disability benefits may be available through a separate disability system. An experienced disability attorney can help you find the best option for you.

ERISA Claims

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) is a system of laws and rules that govern benefits some employers provide to their employees. Many employers offer disability benefits as part of an overall benefit package to their employees.

Claims for short-term and long-term disability benefits are usually handled by an insurance company, who decides whether you are entitled to benefits and for how long. Applying for benefits under these benefit plans can be tricky, and an experienced short-term and long-term disability attorney can help you throughout the process.

Our Clients Are Like Family

I retained this firm for help with a long-term disability appeal. Kyle was very responsive, up front, professional, and on top of my case from the very beginning. He explained things well. He answered all of my questions and kept me informed along the way. I would definitely retain his services again if needed.

Tasia Smith

I have called this law firm on a few different occasions and have gotten advice during very hard, difficult times in my life, despite not being a client. Not only advice, but today I needed help filling out some paperwork. Their team was there for me today when I needed help and they did not charge me any fee for their services. I am overjoyed by the kindness that they gave me today when I went in to fill out some paperwork. I highly recommend this law firm as their team is always so helpful, patient, and kind.

Very pleased with my outcome from them. I never felt alone through the whole process if I had questions or concerns they were quick to answer them.
