How We Got Started
Pursuing a claim for Social Security Disability (SSD) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits can be a long and frustrating process. It is disheartening to know that only a relatively small percentage of applications are approved by the Social Security Administration. For example, in 2010, only 23.6% of initial applications were approved and only 6.3% of reconsideration level appeals were approved.
Additionally, the appeals process can be lengthy with an average wait time in Seattle’s Office of Disability Adjudication and Review being 15 months from the date a hearing is requested to the date a hearing is finally held. While all of this may feel stressful, it’s important to understand that you are not alone and there is help out there.
If you have been denied benefits and you are feeling frustrated or overwhelmed by the process of applying for Social Security disability benefits, it’s time to begin working with an attorney who can help you.
Favorite Part of the Business
As you drive on wet pavement, water collects ahead of your car’s front tires. Sometimes the tread on the tires can’t disperse the water. This causes the wheels to actually lift off the pavement, the way a waterskier skims across the water.
Hydroplaning occurs when your vehicle’s tires lose contact with the pavement on which you’re driving. Once your front wheels are no longer in contact with the ground, you no longer have the ability to steer effectively. Your car may begin to rotate sideways, out of your control.
Customer Can Expect
It’s a warm night, just after dark. As soon as you and your child get into the car after soccer practice, it starts to rain. Five miles down the road, you experience a terrifying sensation. Your car doesn’t just feel like it’s suddenly flying—it actually is. It’s hydroplaning.
