Personal Injury That Can Lead to SSDI Eligibility

A personal injury accident can result in severe injuries that are often disabling enough to qualify you for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. When a personal injury results in conditions that impair you from performing substantial gainful activity for a period of more than 12 months, a New York disability lawyer can assist you in applying for SSDI benefits.

Types of Disabling Personal Injuries

When you suffer a personal injury many times the end result is a long-term or permanent disability. To help provide for your future needs and compensate for your losses, you may consider discussing your claim with a New York disability lawyer. You can apply for SSDI benefits, which can give you the financial assistance to deal with your new needs.

Many types of personal injury cases can result in disabling conditions. Some of the most common types of injury include:

• traumatic head injury;
• spinal cord injury;
• loss of limb;
• severe disfigurement; and
• psychological trauma.

If your personal injury is severe enough that it impairs your ability to perform substantial gainful activity and this impairment is expected to last at least 12 months or longer, or result in death, it may qualify you for SSDI benefits. An experienced New York disability lawyer can evaluate your case and explain your options.

How Personal Injury Can Lead to SSDI Benefits

When your injury causes you to be unable to work you may need assistance in paying for your medical treatment as well as to cover the income you are unable to earn while your disability persists. SSDI benefits are one of the most common ways you can obtain assistance for your disabling conditions. A disabling personal injury is something that everyone is at risk for, as there are many types of accidents that can occur in everyday life.

A car accident that causes severe injury to your spine or neck can result in many disabling conditions such as chronic back pain, migraines, paralysis, and nerve damage. These conditions, if severe enough, can greatly impact your everyday life, not to mention render you unable to work and earn an income.

Other types of personal injury that can lead to disability include slip and fall cases, medical malpractice, and any other types of accidents that often result in head or spine trauma.

SSDI benefits can help you make ends meet by providing compensation in lieu of the income you would earn if you could work. A New York disability lawyer can review your injury and projected prognosis to help build your Social Security disability claim for SSDI benefits.
