            Let Cathy Church and Cara Korhonen help get you Disability Benefits

            Picture
            A serious illness or injury can have a devastating affect on a family’s finances. When you are unable to work your job, you lose your source of income. You may have to struggle to pay your expenses and take care of your family’s needs. Social Security benefits can be a big help at this time, helping you to pay for medical expenses and the cost of every day living for yourself and your family. A Social Security disability lawyer has the experience and knowledge to help you file a disability benefit claim so you can receive the help you need.

            When you have spent years working at a job or career, earning a regular income, it can come as quite a jolt when you suddenly can’t work due to illness or injury. Many things that you may have taken for granted, like a weekly paycheck, are gone and you have to figure out how you are going to replace that lost income. This situation is happening to many people, including thousands of Michiganders who each year stop working because of a debilitating injury or illness. Social Security disability benefits can help replace your lost income and ease the stress of the situation. You should consult with a social security disability attorney to learn how you can begin receiving benefit payments.

            One concern many people in this situation have is how they will pay for a disability attorney. If your finances are already stretched with living expenses and medical bills, you probably feel that you don’t have the funds to pay for a lawyer with disability claims experience. Fortunately, Church and Korhonnen, PLLC work on contingency, so they do not get paid unless your claim for benefits is approved. They will review your medical records with you and help you file a SSA claim application that has a good probability of approval.

            Marquette, Michigan Disability Benefits
            Marquette is the largest cities in Michigan’s UP, and the largest port on Lake Superior. It originated as a trapper outpost and soon developed into a bustling community. Ore and metal excavation and production soon became a major part of the economy of Marquette and surrounding communities, including Negaunee, Palmer, and National Mine. It was also a well-known summer vacation spot, with tourists coming in on Great Lakes steamships to stay at the area resorts and hotels. Later a US military airfield, K.I. Sawyer AFB, was located south of the city and involved in many operations during the Cold War including Strategic Air command. Today many people are employed in a variety of jobs, with the largest employers including the Marquette School System, Marquette General Hospital, and the State Prison. While these all provide good jobs to the area residents, many of the positions could be stressful and unsuitable for those who have a disabling sickness or injury. If your doctor has determined that you should no longer work, you should consult with a disability attorney to learn how you can file and begin receiving benefit payments. There are good disability lawyers in Marquette and the surrounding area who can help you get the financial benefits that you need.
