How can Liner Legal Help You?
- Social Security Disability: Social Security disability and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are federal programs put in place to assist those with a disability that is preventing them from retaining employment. If you have a disability that is keeping you from doing your job or getting other work for more than a year, contact a Social Security disability lawyer to help you. You may be eligible for benefits to help offset your inability to work.
- Long-Term Disability: Long-Term Disability Insurance is either offered as part of your benefits through your job or is acquired by an individual policy you’ve purchased for yourself. If you have this type of disability insurance and you become disabled, then this policy goes into effect after your short-term disability runs out. However, there are many steps to obtaining long-term disability benefits. Contact a long-term disability lawyer to help guide you through this confusing process in order to gain most of your salary while you’re unable to work.
- Deaf Discrimination: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law in 1990. This act states that those with a disability are entitled to the same rights as the rest of the public, including people who are Deaf and hard of hearing. At Liner Legal, we’ve noticed that in some cases there is an inability for Deaf individuals to effectively communicate with healthcare professionals and a lack of knowledge on how to find experienced lawyers. Neither is acceptable and at Liner Legal, we will fight for your right to effective medical communication and find you “Deaf friendly” legal representation.
