Anniston Workers Compensation Attorney

 

Alabama Social Security Disability Benefits Lawyer

A serious injury can change your life in an instant and hinder your ability to earn a living. If you have been injured on the job or in an accident of any kind you need a lawyer who can help you understand your options and who will work hard to get you the compensation you need and deserve.

At the law office of Charles H. Rice, Attorney at Law, I have spent more than 30 years helping people obtain workers' comp and Social Security Disability benefits and pursue compensation in personal injury cases.

A Personal, Attentive Approach

The focus of my practice is to get to know you, help you understand your legal choices, and help you recover your benefits and get your life back on track. You have real world problems, and we understand that. (At this office we've seen just about everything after 30 years!)

We will manage every aspect of your claim from beginning to end, helping you receive the maximum benefits you are entitled to. Oftentimes, we can obtain those benefits without going to trial, but whenever litigation is necessary, we'll go through it together. You'll always know what we're doing and why we're doing it; just as importantly, you'll always know what is expected of you (after all, you are the most important member of our "team.") We've handled a broad range of claims over the years related to:

  • Workers' compensation
  • Social Security Disability (SSI/SSDI)
  • Personal injury, including car accidents, truck accidents and injuries taking place on construction sites.

Understanding Workers' Comp and Personal Injury

If you are injured on the job, you need to understand that your employer's interests and your interests may not be the same. Where do you start? What do you do to promptly receive the best available treatment and all the benefits you're entitled to? Who is looking out for you? The Alabama Workers' Compensation Act was designed and implemented in 1919 to help the employee at a time of crisis following a workplace accident. I understand this law and I will use it to recover full and fair compensation.

You may have a personal injury claim that is also a workers' comp claim. (For instance, you may have been injured by a third party while performing work duties.) On the other hand, you may have been injured away from the job (for example, a car accident). What is the first thing you should do? What is the first thing you should not do?

Social Security Disability and SSI

If your Social Security Disability benefits claim is denied, you need to act promptly to appeal. Failure to file the appeal in a timely fashion will result in the dismissal of your claim. But now that you've filed the appeal, what's next? How do you develop your claim to give yourself the best chance for success before the administrative law judge? I am ready to represent you at all stages of the appeals process and help you understand all the steps along the way.
