No matter the circumstances leading to your disabling condition, you have the right to apply for Social Security disability benefits if you are unable to earn a substantial income due to your disability. Many claimants for SSDI or SSI benefits became disabled due to a personal injury they sustained later in life, which significantly impacted their ability to perform substantial gainful activity.
Types of Disabling Injury Qualifying for Social Security Disability Benefits
The approval process for Social Security disability benefits does not necessarily cover the circumstances causing your disability, but how the condition limits your ability to earn an income. Consequently, many personal injury accidents resulting in a disabling injury often qualify the victim for Social Security disability benefits.
Some of the common types of accidents resulting in a disabling injury include car accidents, workplace accidents and slip and fall cases. These types of accidents often result in disabling injury such as:
A Personal Injury Can Become a Disabling Injury
When most people think about Social Security disability benefits, they may think only people who are born disabled or who have naturally developed a disabling condition are eligible. The truth is, any condition the Social Security Administration considers disabling can qualify you for Social Security disability benefits with the proper medical evidence.
Again, the application for disability benefits does not question how you became disabled; it focuses on how the disabling injury impairs your ability to work. So, a disabling injury arising from a serious accident such as a head-on car collision or falling down a set of damaged stairs can also qualify you for Social Security disability benefits.
Most personal injuries resulting in a disabling injury have to do with the limbs and mobility, as they are most easily damaged in accidents. If your personal injury results in chronic pain or problems with the functioning of one or more body systems, you may qualify for Social Security disability benefits.
When you are facing hardships after a disabling injury, you do not have to suffer alone. A Florida Social Security disability lawyer can help you file a claim for Social Security disability benefits.
