As a Louisiana Social Security Disability lawyer and a personal injury attorney, I am often asked: “I was hurt in a car wreck; can I apply for Social Security Disability Benefits?”The answer to this simple question is – it depends.
It depends on your injuries. It depends on your symptoms. It depends on your treatment.
If your disabling injuries keep you from being able to work for 12 or more months, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability benefits.
If your injuries heal in less than 12 months, you are not eligible for Social Security Disability benefits in all likelihood.
