If you’ve filed a VA disability compensation claim—or are thinking about filing one—you may have heard the term “nexus letter” and wondered why it matters. Many veterans are surprised to learn that even with a current diagnosis and documented military service, claims are still denied without this critical piece of evidence.
After an accident or serious injury, choosing the right lawyer is one of the most important decisions you will make. Unfortunately, it is also a moment when people are most vulnerable—and that vulnerability is being exploited more and more. At Black & Jones Attorneys at Law, we believe an informed client is a protected client. Knowing the warning signs of unethical or questionable practices can help you avoid costly mistakes that may impact your case, your recovery and your future.
One of the most common and frustrating questions people ask when considering Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is simple: How long is this going to take? Unfortunately, there’s no quick answer. Social Security disability claims move slowly, and the process often takes longer than applicants expect. It is not uncommon for a claim to take two years or more and that can be very disheartening.
If you’ve been injured on the job, choosing the right workers’ compensation attorney can feel like one more overwhelming decision. Yet, the lawyer you choose can play a major role in how smoothly your case moves—and whether you receive the full benefits available under the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act.
One of the biggest concerns veterans have when considering legal help with a VA disability claim is cost. Many veterans hesitate to reach out to an attorney because they worry it will be expensive—or that legal fees will reduce much-needed monthly benefits.
