Palm Harbor Workers’ Compensation and Social Security Disability Lawyer
Disability and job injury victims in Palm Harbor are entitled to life-changing benefits.
This community in north Pinellas County is one of the fastest-growing communities in the Tampa Bay area. It features a reinvigorated downtown area and, via U.S. Highway 19, easy access to St. Petersburg and the rest of Pinellas County. These two features also cause many injuries. Construction work is one of the most hazardous jobs in the country. Motor vehicle crashes on busy roadways like Highway 19 kill or seriously injure millions of Americans every year.
These victims need and deserve compensation, and the hard-working Palm Harbor workers’ compensation and Social Security Disability lawyer at the Rooth Law Firm knows how to obtain it. Over the years, we have developed proven methods that have obtained life-changing results for our clients. We firmly believe that these same methods will produce the same results in your workers’ compensation, Social Security Disability, or other personal injury claim. The available benefits help ensure that victims have the resources they need to deal with their injuries or illnesses and move on with their lives.
Why Choose Us?
Once upon a time, Palm Harbor personal injury lawyers were few and far between. Today, it seems that a lawyer is on almost every street corner. However, only a few of these lawyers have what it takes to obtain maximum benefits in a workers’ compensation or Social Security Disability matter. These qualities include:
- Experience: Quite simply, your injury or disability claim should never be a training tool for an inexperienced lawyer. These well-meaning lawyers do not use proven methods, as outlined above, and are often unfamiliar with local rules. At the Rooth Law Firm, we have represented disabled and injured workers throughout the area since 1994.
- Dedication: An attorney should be dedicated to the cause and to the client. We focus exclusively on the legal and financial rights of injury victims. These matters are not a sideshow for us. Additionally, unlike many TV lawyers, we stick with our clients through thick and thin. We do not immediately refer cases to other lawyers.
- Accessibility: A lawyer’s office should be physically and professionally accessible. Seriously injured or ill people normally have problems getting from place to place. We focus on accessibility details (e.g. ramps instead of stairs). Professionally, your lawyer, not a legal assistant, should be primarily responsible for all the work done in your case. That is our philosophy at the Rooth Law Firm.
When you look for a lawyer, look beyond these qualities. Experience is a good example. A losing basketball team that returns all five starters is an experienced losing team.
Matters We Handle
At the Rooth Law Firm, our dedicated team of professionals focuses exclusively on workers’ compensation and Social Security Disability matters.
Workers’ compensation benefits, mostly lost wage replacement and medical bill payment, are available to victims who sustained job-related injuries, like falls, or illnesses, like hearing loss. To obtain these benefits, a Palm Harbor personal injury lawyer must normally only prove the illness or injury was work-related. Some limited defenses are available in some cases.
Liability (legal responsibility) disputes are rare in these cases, but damages (amount of compensation) disputes are common. Insurance adjusters quickly sign off on the cheapest medical treatments. They usually push back if the necessary treatment is more expensive.
Damages disputes are also common in Social Security Disability claims. Many people have injuries or illnesses that restrict everyday activities. These illnesses or injuries may or may not be “disabling,” according to the Social Security Administration.
