Auto accidents can lead to death and both temporary and permanent disabilities. Damage to nerves and the spinal cord, or long term trauma and depression might hinder an individual’s ability to join the workplace for some time. Although an auto insurance company might take care of the damages to your car, medical expenses might need special attention and support to cover treatments. Apart from medical insurance, another possibility is to seek Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
An expert personal injury attorney can be consulted, to not just help navigate the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) processes, but also claim medical compensation and damages due to an auto accident from the defendant. The following are some details on how to seek SSDI and SSI in Illinois.
The determination services are the first step for citizens of Illinois in seeking SSDI and SSI.
Fillings can be done through a local Social Security Administration (SSA) Office. Car injuries such as back disorders, spinal cord injuries, soft tissue injuries, anxiety disorder and bone or neck fracture are acceptable. In case of ineligibility, a residual functional capacity (RFC) is determined by SSA to see if an individual finds it difficult to do even the simplest of tasks, due to a disability. Individuals can also use a disability planner to asses if they need assistance, or meet requirements for SSDI and SSI.
