Serving Scranton and Wilkes-Barre – Experienced Accident Attorneys

The Social Security Administration has very strict laws regarding disability benefits; in fact, many people have their disability claims rejected or delayed, sometimes for years, due to medical eligibility restrictions. In order for an adult to receive Social Security disability compensation, he or she must be completely disabled and not capable of doing any type of work for at least a year. In addition to birth injury, mental illness, and genetic and biological factors, accidents cause a staggering number of emotional and physical disabilities each year. Our law offices, serving Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, and surrounding areas, employ experienced accident attorneys who are dedicated to helping accident victims receive their full Social Security cash benefits.

Common Causes of Accidental Injury

Accidents happen every day, and no amount of preparation can prevent a person from feeling overwhelmed and shocked in the wake of an accidental injury. Whether the injury occurs on the job, at home, or on the road, if a person is seriously impaired and unable to work, there are Social Security benefits designed to offer financial aid. Some common causes of accidental injury are:

  • Building and construction accidents
  • Automobile, trucking, and motorcycle accidents
  • Product malfunction or defect

If you have suffered from an accidental injury that will prevent you from working for at least a year, our Scranton and Wilkes-Barre-area offices have accident attorneys that can help you get the compensation you need. Some circumstances limit the amount of cash benefits available for a Social Security claim, so be sure to discuss your case with an experienced lawyer before taking action. Contact O'Malley & Langan, P.C. today to schedule a case evaluation.

Impairments Resulting From Accidents

Accidental injuries can differ greatly in their causes and severity. The amount of time it takes for different people to heal depends on their overall health, their age, and the type of treatment they receive. The Social Security Administration requires that a person suffer a severe injury or illness and be completely disabled and incapable of working for a year in order to receive monetary benefits. Accidents can result in minor injuries that will heal quickly or in devastating, life-changing impairments that require expensive medical attention and lengthy recovery times. Some serious accidental injuries include:

  • Spinal injury
  • Amputation
  • Brain injury affecting motor skills
  • Severe burns
  • Mental disorders
