Baton Rouge Social Security Disability Attorney
Louisiana Social Security Disability Lawyer
Has Your Social Security Claim Been Denied?
To qualify for Social Security disability, you must have worked in a job that earns Social Security benefits and have a medical condition that is accepted as a Social Security disability. The application process is time consuming. Denied claims can be frustrating.
The attorneys at the McKernan Law Firm in Baton Rouge understand how you feel. Many of our Social Security disability clients have been out of work for more a year. And have no medical insurance. They face denied benefits, and are understandably worried. We have helped many clients successfully appeal denials of Social Security disability, and our Social Security Disability attorneys can help you, too.

Defending Your Disability Claim
The Social Security Administration considers a number of factors in assessing your claim, including the seriousness of your illness, and if it prevents you from working in your usual occupation or working in a different job. Your medical records are critical evidence, as is the prognosis of your treating physician. Because these cases take so long, it is important to keep your physician informed if symptoms worsen, preventing you from enjoying everyday activities.
