DISABILITY PAYMENTS IN OHIO

The Social Security Administration handles Social Security and Supplemental Income disability payments. Pencheff and Fraley LPA helps individuals file their claims, a process that can be challenging and filled with potential landmines. For all Ohio residents filing for disability, it is essential to ensure you do everything you are supposed to do. We can help with that. You have two options: Social Security Disability payments, which do not begin until the sixth full month of disability, and Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which occurs in the first full month of your disability. We can help you determine which is best for you.

HOW THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION APPROVES DISABILITY

The Social Security Administration will use a five-point process to determine whether you are eligible for payments, regardless of whether you choose social security disability or SSI. First, they will ask you whether you currently work. If you are working and your earnings exceed a certain amount, they might not approve your claim. Secondly, the administration will gauge whether your condition is severe and on the approved list of impairments. They will also ask whether you can perform the same work you did before and ask whether there is other work you can perform. Our legal team can help ensure you answer these questions correctly and help advocate on your behalf. While it is not required to hire an attorney for this process, doing so will improve your chances.

WE WANT YOU TO BE ABLE TO HEAL IN COMFORT

Frequent Questions...

After a car accident or another injury accident, it’s normal to have a lot of questions. Unfortunately, it’s nearly impossible to get clear, honest information from the insurance company. Here, our personal injury lawyers answer some of your most common questions.

I GOT IN AN ACCIDENT. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Immediately after an accident, prioritize your safety. Move to a safe location if possible, seek medical attention, and call the police. Document the accident scene, gather witness information, and avoid discussing fault. Once you’re safe, contact LawyerUp® for guidance on your next steps.

Choose a firm that specializes in injury cases, has a solid reputation, a track record of high settlements, and offers a transparent fee structure. Client testimonials and reviews can also provide insights. LawyerUp® checks all these boxes.

HOW MUCH CAN A PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER TAKE FROM MY SETTLEMENT?

It will always be an upfront contract between you and the lawyer. Typically, a contingency fee arrangement ranges from 25% to 50%. The exact percentage can vary based on the complexity of the case and the state at which it is resolved.

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE SETTLEMENT FOR PERSONAL INJURY CASES?

Settlements vary greatly based on the specifics of each case, such as injury severity, liability clarity, and the involved parties. It’s best to consult with an attorney to understand potential settlement amounts.

CAN YOU TELL ME HOW TO FILE A PERSONAL INJURY CASE?

While you can file a personal injury claim on your own, it’s advisable to work with a skilled attorney. The process involves gathering evidence, determining liability, negotiating with insurers, and possibly filing a lawsuit.

    CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

    REAL PEOPLE, REAL STORIES

    “I have had the privilege of working with Attorney Ray on three separate occasions, and each time he has delivered outstanding results. Typically, I am not inclined to write reviews after just one or two experiences, but Ray’s unwavering dedication and exceptional outcomes compel me to share my positive experiences.”

    - Alpha Regulus.

    “I cannot thank Pencheff and Fraley enough for the incredible support and dedication they provided during my personal injury case. From the very beginning, they demonstrated professionalism, compassion, and a deep understanding of the law.

    - Michael Mardini.

    “I could not have chosen a better attorney to handle my husbands case for a fatal accident he was involved in and luckily made it out alive. Brad is a true professional. He was very reassuring and very sympathetic to our situation. I would choose Brad again. Thank you Amy Cary for always returning our calls and answering all of our questions. You guys are the best!”

    - Perales A.

    “I can’t recommend this law firm enough! My car was hit by a semi last year. It was a long recovery, and an exhausting process, but David Fraley helped immensely. He was professional, and very friendly. He was able to reach a favorable settlement for me. He was the only part of the entire process that was easy and stress-free.”

    - JJ Schmidli.
