A back disability can leave a person realizing how much they use their back on the job. As a back disability attorney I have seen the Dr. tell the client that they need back surgery, and may not be able to return to their job. Unfortunately after the first back surgery many of my clients discover that they can no longer work at all, as a back disability attorney I have seen this so many times. Just having mobility can be an issue for many back injury clients who have surgery, many clients have to use assistants in walking, or have to take pain medication.  

The damage  and surgery to the spine and back can range from ruptured discs; scoliosis; harrington rod implant; stimulator implant; spinal fusion,  and many other types of surgery and damages to the spine and back. A back surgery is a very serious situation, and letting social security disability know about it is very important.   In my experiences as a back disability attorney I understand that even after surgery many people cant go back to work.

It can be a scary time when the realization strikes that you can no longer work due to your back condition, however here at my office we have helped many back injury clients and understand how we need to handle your claim. We can help you at the initial application level or after you receive your denial letter from social security disability, it does not cost anymore money to have us help you from the initial application level, and of course there is never an up front fee for our service, and you do not owe us any money should we not win your claim, that is a promise from me, Daniel L. McMurtry, Esq. the founder and owner of this office.

We will review your medical records, (and consult with medical professionals should that be necessary) and let social security know about your back injury, and what type of surgery was performed on your back along with any hardware that was put into your back, and or any type of medical device implanted or used in your surgery, it is important to convey to social security disability the seriousness of your back surgery, and or multiple back surgeries.  

Please give us a call, if you can’t come to us, we will come to you.

Will you get declared disabled right away? No, probably not, most people may hear this from someone, but the truth is you will probably not get declared disabled. If you are denied at this stage you will need to appeal within the deadline. This is called your reconsideration stage, you are asking the department to reconsider their denial of your claim. I will usually consult a Registered Nurse to help review your condition and other health professional such as physical therapists and occupational therapists.  

Unfortunately most people are turned down on their appeal, so what is there to do after that? Your next step will require you to have a hearing before a Federal Administrative Law Judge. Many people find this step a little intimidating, but because I have made my living in the courtroom, I am very familiar with the process of appearing before judges and juries. In the hearing you will be required to give testimony before the judge, and answer some questions from your attorney. After the hearing there will generally be a waiting period before you know the result of your hearing.

Should you need assistance with your disability application and claim, please give the law office a call Monday through Saturday toll free at (877) 271-2633 or local at (615) 308-2633. We look forward to hearing from you.
