Serious Injuries Deserve Serious Support—You Don’t Have to Navigate It Alone

Workplace injuries can be more than just temporary setbacks. When injuries lead to long-term or permanent disability, your financial stability can quickly become uncertain. In these complex cases, working with both a work injury lawyer and experienced social security disability lawyers can make all the difference.

At Taylor & Associates, we’re committed to helping injured workers secure the compensation and support they need—both through workers’ comp and Social Security Disability benefits when applicable.

When a Work Injury Leads to Long-Term Disability

Some injuries heal with time. Others don’t.

If your injury is severe enough that it keeps you from returning to work, or if your recovery is expected to last a year or longer, you may qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). This is where our social security disability lawyers step in to guide you through the federal claims process—while your work injury lawyer continues to manage your workers’ compensation benefits.

Together, these legal strategies can ensure:

  • Your current medical bills are covered
  • You continue to receive wage replacement during recovery
  • You’re not left without income if your disability becomes permanent

Why Both Legal Perspectives Matter

Many people don’t realize they can pursue both a workers’ compensation claim and SSDI at the same time. The processes are entirely different—but they’re deeply connected in cases of long-term injury.

  • A work injury lawyer helps you recover immediate financial benefits through your employer’s insurance.
  • Social security disability lawyers help you qualify for monthly federal disability payments if you’re unable to return to work.

At Taylor & Associates, our team collaborates across both areas to streamline your path to full benefits—ensuring no detail gets overlooked.

How We Support You Through Every Step

If your injury has resulted in a disability, we’ll help you:

  • File and manage your Social Security Disability application
  • Submit proper medical documentation
  • Respond to any denials or requests for evidence
  • Navigate appeals if your initial SSDI claim is denied

Meanwhile, our work injury lawyer will continue fighting for workers’ compensation to cover your medical care, therapy, and wage loss.
