Charlotte Attorneys for Injured and Disabled Workers
Since Bill Grandy and Ken Martin founded our North Carolina law firm in 1984, our mission has been to improve lives and help people get all possible financial compensation they need to recover from injuries. We recognize that, after an on-the-job injury, you may have pressing and critical concerns about getting multiple types of government benefits.
Laws and procedures associated with drawing a combination of work comp, Medicare and Social Security benefits for disability are complex. When you contact our firm with your questions about your workers' compensation case and other benefits, you can count on dependable answers from a lawyer with more than 25 years of experience.
Maximizing Benefits and Protecting You Against Unpleasant Surprises
Some important issues we have handled and actions we have taken for our clients include:
- Under some circumstances, a workers' compensation settlement can be structured to spread payments out over your life expectancy and allow you to also receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) checks if you qualify.
- If you are currently receiving Medicare benefits, or it is reasonably likely that you will later on, it may be important to develop a "set-aside" plan that protects you for the future.
If you have a long-term or permanent injury, you may be coping with serious financial pressure and concern about the future. You may need to take maximum advantage of multiple forms of government benefits simply to survive financially. However, no one wants to deal with the shock of having accepted government benefit money they must pay back but no longer have.
Skilled, Resourceful Representation Without Added Financial Risk for You
Our attorneys are knowledgeable, creative and resourceful when it comes to balancing and maximizing the benefits you can receive. Equally important, we are honest and practical, targeting the best possible settlement and approach for you without setting false expectations.
Whatever questions you have about your workers' compensation claim and your ability to get weekly benefits and other support, we can help. Our work together can begin with a free consultation, and you will owe no attorney fees unless we obtain a result that financially benefits you.
