To make your free consultation as meaningful as possible, you should have the following readily available:
· A copy of any individual disability insurance policy that you purchased.
· A copy of any group insurance policy or plan that you believe may provide disability coverage. Your employer is obligated to provide you with the relevant documents.
· A copy of any life insurance policy that you purchased because it may contain a premium waiver that provides for continued coverage for free while disabled.
· A list of your physicians, hospitals and other treating or consulting medical sources, with their records. Make sure that you have an address and telephone number for each medical source.
· A list of your prescribed medications and devices. Your pharmacy should be able to give you a computerized print out of your records for the last year or two.
· Your work history for the last 15 years. If you have a resume, it should help you summarize where you you worked and what kind of work you performed.
· Your birth certificate.
· Records of your earnings. The Social Security Administration regularly mails out Social Security Statements, which list your entire earnings record. If you do not have a copy of your Social Security Statement, then recent tax records would be helpful.
The more information that you provide us, the more detailed analysis we can offer about your disability claim. During a free consultation with a lawyer, we will explain what forms to submit and how to avoid potential mistakes in completing them. If retained, we will help prepare and submit the necessary forms and evidence in order to try to maximize your chances of obtaining disability benefits as quickly as possible.
Social Security disability cases are typically handled on a contingency basis that is limited to 25% of any retroactive benefits. Depending upon the circumstances, for individual and group disability insurance claims, we will provide you with a retainer agreement based upon either a contingency or hourly basis.
