Social Security Disability ◦ Workers' Comp ◦ Personal Injury

For more than 30 years, injured and disabled Oklahomans have turned to the Oklahoma City law offices of Bower & Bower for determined, experienced legal counsel and representation. Contact us to schedule a consultation regarding any of the following matters:

Social Security Disability: If you need help with a Social Security Disability claim, you need an experienced attorney to assist you in obtaining the benefits you deserve.

SSD denials and appeals: If you are denied at the hearing level, we are prepared to submit a request to the Social Security Appeals Council for review of the denial. If this review yields unsatisfactory results, we may file a lawsuit on your behalf in a Federal District Court.

Illness and injuries that may qualify people for Social Security Disability:
To be eligible for Social Security Disability benefits, you must have a medical, physical, or psychological impairment which is serious enough to keep you from working, and earning above a certain amount, for at least one year.

Lump sum settlements (SSD): If, through the appeals process, your claim is ultimately accepted, you will most likely receive a lump sum settlement for past due benefits (back pay). The amount of the back pay for past due benefits depends on the date of the filing of your initial claim, as well as the date when your disability is decided to have begun.

Workers' Compensation: Workers' Compensation benefits generally cover payment of medical expenses relevant to the injury, job retraining if needed (vocational rehabilitation), and wage replacement when a worker must be absent from work as a result of the injury.

Jobsite accidents and injuries: Common jobsite injuries include back, shoulder, neck, or head injuries caused by lifting of heavy equipment; fractures, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and other injuries caused by slipping on wet or slick surfaces; and lacerations and amputations caused by defective machinery.

Repetitive strain injuries: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, and psychiatric conditions triggered by workplace trauma are all potentially compensable through Workers' Compensation.

Workers' Compensation denials and appeals: All too often, Workers' Compensation insurance providers deny or delay payment of benefits on worthy claims.While hiring an attorney will not guarantee that your Workers' Compensation claim is accepted, or that your appeal is approved after a denial, your chances are greatly increased with the help of experienced legal representation.

Personal injury: After an auto, truck, or pedestrian accident, a workplace injury, a slip and fall accident, or a dog bite, it is critically important to contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.
