Social Security Disability Lawyer
Injury lawyers serving Kentucky and Indiana
We work hard our entire lives, paying into the Social Security system in the hopes that one day we will be able to draw on these benefits should we get hurt and are no longer able to work. According to Social Security Administration (SSA) records, more than 60 percent of applications are denied at the initial level every single year. In fact, in 2005 alone, nearly 65 percent of applications were denied.
