Helping Injured Workers Pursue Workers' Comp and Disability Benefits
If you have been off work for at least six months due to a workplace injury, you may be eligible for both Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits and workers' compensation. An experienced attorney can make sure you receive the maximum benefits you are entitled to.
OhioBWCAttorney.com is a network of independent workers' compensation and personal injury lawyers and law firms throughout Ohio. Several of the firms in our network are also available to assist clients with SSD claims, which often go hand-in-hand with workers' comp.
Can You Get More Benefits by Filing a Social Security Claim?
Our Ohio Social Security Disability attorneys understand the interplay between workers' compensation and SSD and can advise you on whether it is worthwhile for you to pursue a disability claim in addition to any workers' comp you are receiving while you are off work.
In general, if you are entitled to SSD benefits that are worth more than the benefits you are getting from workers' comp, Social Security will pay the difference.
Factors such as how long you have been working, what you were making in the months before you got injured, and what you have earned in prior years can all impact whether you are likely to get substantially more benefits through SSD than through workers' comp alone.
