No one ever plans to go on disability but when and if the time comes, it is important to understand the facts. Do you really need to hire an attorney? How much will one cost and how long do you have to decide? Here are the facts you need to know before you hire a Social Security disability attorney in Idaho Falls. Why Hire an Attorney Even if you paid into the system your entire life, chances are your claim will be denied. Over 70% of Social Security claims are denied, sometimes over simple technicalities like a wrong number on your paperwork. For many, the legal jargon is the most confusing part of the process. While you are busy meeting with doctors and having tests done, it is nice to know that someone else is handling the legal side of things. Legal Fees Thankfully, the cost of hiring a disability attorney is straightforward because of federal regulation. Fees total to 25% of your back pay or $6,000 (whichever is less), but never more than $6,000. In most situations, there are no upfront costs, and you are only charged the fee if the attorney wins your case. Be wary of scam artists asking for large sums upfront before they will even consider your case. When to Act It is impossible to plan for a scenario that requires disability. It is usually the unexpected result of an accident or a routine doctor’s visit when you realize it’s time. When it comes to the legal process, the sooner you act, the better. Your doctor may be able to advise you on the first steps to take but consider getting some preliminary counsel from a disability attorney. Many offer free consultation in the initial stages of filing to help you weigh your options. Your primary concerns should be your health and your family’s wellbeing, so leave the stress of the legal process to a professional Social Security disability attorney in Idaho Falls.
