Every year The War Memorial Foundation hosts two events, one for Memorial Day and for Veteran’s Day. The events are held at The Carolina Field of Honor, which serves as a gathering place for ceremonies and events to honor those who serve.

 

 

Their mission is to honor service men and women, educate families, and to help children know the stories and memories from Veterans. Keeping their stories and memories alive honors them and their service, and also enables the next generation to respect the honor of serving their country.

 

At Oxner + Permar we enjoy taking part in local events and showing our appreciation to the Veterans in our community. There are thousands of residents who have served or are currently serving and it is important to us to honor their stories, memories, and experiences.

 

If you are interested in attending the next event held at The Carolina Field of Honor you can check out their website for further details. You can also follow Oxner + Permar on Facebook where we provide additional community events and resources.

Si eres un contratista independiente, hay una posibilidad que no podrás recibir compensación por su lesión laboral?
Bajo las leyes del estado de Carolina del Norte, en general, tienes que ser considerado un “empleado” bajo las definiciones legales para ser elegible de recibir beneficios de lesiones laborales. Para saber si eres un “empleado,” hay unos factores que tienes que demonstrar a la corte.

Es por esto que es importante que usted se ponga en contacto con abogados con experiencia si eres lesionado en el trabajo. Nosotros aquí en Oxner + Permar tenemos bastante experiencia con estas situaciones, y ayudarle en español.  ¡Llamenos!

 

Do you need an attorney to file for Social Security Disability Claim? No. But can an attorney be very beneficial in your outcome? Yes! The National Organization of Social Security Claimants’ Representatives announced that the Government Accountability Office (GAO) examined the rate of Social Security Disability claim approval at hearings. The study revealed that those who had legal representation were given benefits nearly 3 times higher than those without a representative. But how exactly can an attorney help with your Social Security disability claim?

Can An Attorney Help With My Social Security Disability Claim?

Social Security Disability Claims Can Be Difficult

The government provides disability insurance benefits to people who cannot work due to a medical condition or injury. These benefits include monthly payments, which replace part of the worker’s income. In order to qualify for these benefits, the applicant must meet certain requirements, including being unable to perform any type of substantial gainful activity.

This makes applying for a social security disability claim difficult. Many applicants do not understand how to apply for this benefit. They may also lack the knowledge needed to prove they are disabled. 

It’s Important To Understand How The Process Works

In order to receive disability insurance benefits, it is important to understand what happens during the application process of a social security disability claim. This includes understanding how the government determines if you are eligible for benefits. It also involves understanding the types of evidence required to support your claim.

When you apply for disability insurance benefits, you will first fill out an online application. You will then submit supporting documentation such as doctor’s notes, test results, and other relevant information. Your application will be reviewed by a state agency called the Social Security Administration. If your application is approved, you will receive a letter informing you of your eligibility.

If your application is denied, you will get another chance to appeal the decision. Appeals are handled by the SSA’s regional office. If you win your appeal, you will receive a new decision from the SSA.

If you are still denied after appealing, you can request a hearing before an administrative law judge. At the hearing, you will have the opportunity to provide additional evidence and testimony. A lawyer can assist you throughout the entire process.

How To Appeal a Decision

You have the right to appeal a denial of your application for disability insurance benefits. To do so, you must write to the SSA within 60 days of receiving notice of the decision. You should explain why you believe the decision was incorrect. You should also attach all documents that support your position.

Your appeal will be considered by an administrative law judge. The judge will review the evidence presented at the hearing and make a final determination about whether you are entitled to benefits.

A lawyer can help with your appeal. He or she can prepare written statements and arguments on your behalf. Lawyers often use their expertise to help clients present their cases more effectively.

An experienced lawyer can help you understand the appeals process and ensure that you follow the correct steps.

An Attorneys Role in Social Security Disability Claims

A lawyer can play a vital role in helping you file for disability insurance benefits. Lawyers know how to navigate the complex system and ensure you follow all of the necessary procedures. They also know how to gather the appropriate documents and prepare them properly.

Attorneys often represent clients in court when their applications are denied. They can also help you appeal decisions made by the SSA.

Filing for Social Security Disability claim can be done on your own but requires you to jump through many hoops. Working with an experienced attorney who is familiar with the process and understands all of the steps can have a positive impact at your hearing. Claims that are filed without the help of an attorney are initially denied most of the time.

Working with an experienced attorney ensures everything is done right and increases your chances of receiving benefits. Don’t risk having your claim denied because of a mistake filing your claim.

If you are the victim of a hit-and-run, it can be a scary and frustrating experience. It may feel like a hopeless situation to be in but there are still steps you need to take to protect yourself.

What is a hit-and-run?

What Should I Do After A Hit-and-Run Crash?

A hit-and-run occurs when someone hits another person or vehicle without stopping to see if anyone is injured or killed. This type of crime is called “hit-and-run” because the suspect leaves the scene before being caught by law enforcement. In most cases, the suspect does not stop to check on the victims or even their own injuries.

Hit-and-runs happen all over the country every day. They usually occur during daylight hours and often involve people who know each other. Many times, the suspect is driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

The suspect might flee from the scene because he knows he has done something wrong. He might think that no one saw him commit the crime, so he doesn’t want to get caught. Or maybe he just wants to avoid getting arrested. Whatever his reason, the suspect is trying to escape justice.

The suspect might try to hide evidence such as blood or fingerprints. He might destroy evidence such as the car he used to run down the victim. He might even change clothes after committing the crime.

Because hit-and-runs are crimes, the suspect must face consequences. But these consequences aren’t always severe. Sometimes, the suspect gets away with only minor fines or community service. Other times, the suspect goes to jail for a few days or weeks.

But even though the suspect might go unpunished, he shouldn’t be allowed to get away with hurting innocent people. That’s why we recommend that everyone who is involved in a hit-and- run contact a personal injury attorney right away.

What could be done after being involved in a hit-and-run?

If you find yourself in this situation the first thing you should do is call the police. The police may be able to find the driver. At the very least they will be able to provide you with an accident report showing the crash was the result of a hit-and-run—you will need this official documentation for your insurance claim. After you call the police, you will also need to:

As terrible as a hit-and-run crash can be, there are steps you can and should take that could possibly lead to the arrest of the driver, or at the very least help you have a better outcome.

Should you speak with a lawyer after a hit-and-run?

You should definitely consider talking to a lawyer if you are involved in a hit-or-run crash.

There are many reasons why you should consider hiring a lawyer. First, it is important to remember that you don’t have to hire a lawyer immediately after the crash. It is perfectly acceptable to wait until you have spoken with the police about the incident. However, once you have talked to the police, it is time to start thinking about how you can best protect yourself and your rights.

It is possible that the person responsible for the crash will deny responsibility. If that happens, then you will need to file a lawsuit against the driver. This means that you will have to hire a lawyer to represent you in court.

A lawyer can also help you recover damages for pain and suffering, lost wages, medical bills, property damage, and any other losses you suffered as a result of the crash.

A lawyer can also help you determine whether the other driver had adequate liability insurance. If the other driver did not have sufficient coverage, you could potentially sue him or her for negligence.

A lawyer can help you decide whether you want to pursue criminal charges against the driver. In some cases, filing a criminal complaint might be beneficial. For example, if the driver fled the scene of the crash, he or she could face additional penalties under state law.

If you are considering applying for Social Security Disability, you may have many questions. One question most people have is, when will I need an attorney? My answer to that question is: immediately.

 

  1. An attorney can review your age, education, past work, and impairments to determine if you are a good candidate to apply for Social Security Disability benefits. The sooner you know if you’re a good candidate, the better able you are to prepare for your future.
  2. If you wait to apply for Social Security Disability benefits it could affect the date you begin receiving benefits. If you wait two years to apply and are denied, then you will have to wait another two years to get a hearing. The sooner you apply, the sooner you will have a hearing if you’re denied.
  3. If you’re denied, an attorney can begin the appeal process immediately or discuss other options for benefits if you’re not a good candidate for Social Security Disability benefits.

A few other common indicators for whether you need an attorney:

 

 

It is also important to tell your doctor that you’re applying for Social Security Disability benefits. It is essential to inform your doctor of all of your impairments — both mental and physical — if your doctor doesn’t know about it, it will not be in your medical records. Social Security reads your medical records to determine how your impairments affect your work, so it’s important that nothing is left out. Most doctors know what key language to write in your medical records to help Social Security find you disabled.
