Getting Social Security Disability Benefits for Soft Tissue Damage in Minnesota

Our lawyers at Hoglund Law Offices have represented many clients with soft tissue damage. These injuries, when serious, can keep you out of full-time work for over a year or more. If so, the Social Security Administration allows you to receive disability benefits for your soft tissue injuries (e.g. burns). First, however, you need to meet certain qualifications.

Soft tissue injuries is a general category used by Social Security to describe complications from serious injuries to all parts of your body, including arms, legs, trunk, and face. Social Security evaluates whether you are under “continuing surgical management,” which just means surgery in some form is ongoing.

You need to expect serious limitations that will last one year. So, even if you get better over a year later (which can happen in soft tissue injury claims), you can still receive benefits retroactively for the year you were unable to work. This is called a “closed period of benefits”. An attorney at Hoglund Law Offices can explain details about how this works.

If you would like a team of experienced attorneys helping you prove your disability, please call Hoglund Law offices today. We’ll be happy to talk with you.

* Home visits are typically available within a fifty mile radius of the major metro areas. The Bottom Line is that you will not spend a 'dime' out of pocket for our law firm to represent you. The only way our law firm gets paid any money is if you get back back benefits. Out of the back benefits, the Social Security Administration withholds 25% of that and sends it directly to our office to pay your Attorney's Fees. You keep the remaining 75%. 99% of our clients that win their claim receive a back benefits check from Social Security. The average back benefits check paid to our clients is about $6,000 - $9,000. Now, if you receive back benefits that amount could be more or less depending on an individual's case. Remember this is only an example, but it is likely that you will receive some money for back benefits if we won your case.
