Houston Disability Attorney – Long Term Disability and Social Security Disability

Houston is a city with a diverse population and thriving industries. With over 2 million residents, Houston is the fourth-largest city in the United States and has a large and growing population of senior citizens. According to the Census Bureau, about 9.9% of Houston’s population has a disability, which is slightly lower than the national average of 10.6%. However, given the size of the city, that still translates to a significant number of individuals who may need assistance with disability claims.

Houston’s economy is dominated by several industries, including energy and oil, healthcare, biomedical research, and aerospace manufacturing. These industries employ a large number of people and can also present unique challenges for disability claims.

Houston Attorney for Long Term Disability and Social Security Disability Claims

Living with a long term disability can be challenging, both emotionally and financially. If you are unable to work due to a disability, you may be eligible for long term disability (LTD) benefits through your employer or Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits through the government. However, navigating the legal process for obtaining these benefits can be complex and overwhelming, which is where a Houston disability attorney can assist you.

We often receive calls from claimants in the great state of Texas. The most common question we receive is, “Can I hire you even though you are not in Texas?” The answer is yes! Nick Ortiz is admitted as a licensed attorney to the Texas Bar, so the experienced legal team at Ortiz Law Firm can represent claimants in Houston and throughout the state of Texas.

Disability Claims in the Oil and Energy Industries

The energy industry is a major employer in Houston, with companies like ExxonMobil, Chevron, and Shell having a significant presence in the city. Many of these jobs require physical labor, which can increase the risk of workplace injuries and disabilities. If you are employed in the energy industry and become disabled, it is important to seek legal advice from a Houston disability attorney who understands the specific challenges and nuances of the industry.

Disability Claims in the Healthcare Industry

Houston is also home to the world-renowned Texas Medical Center, which is the largest medical complex in the world. The medical center employs over 120,000 people and attracts patients from all over the world. If you are a disabled healthcare worker in Houston, it is important to have a disability attorney who understands the medical complexities of your condition and the specific challenges of your industry.

Disability Claims in the Biomedical Research Industry

Houston’s biomedical research industry is another major employer and includes institutions like the Baylor College of Medicine and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. These institutions conduct cutting-edge research that can lead to breakthroughs in medical treatments and technologies. However, they may also require employees to work in hazardous conditions that can result in disabilities. A Houston disability attorney can help you navigate the legal complexities of filing a disability claim for an employee of a biomedical research institution.

Disability Claims in the Aerospace Manufacturing Industry

Finally, Houston’s aerospace and manufacturing industry is a significant employer, with companies like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and NASA having a presence in the city. These jobs often require specialized skills and physical labor that can result in disabilities. If you are employed in the aerospace and manufacturing industry and become disabled, it is important to work with a disability attorney who understands the industry and can help you obtain the benefits you deserve.

Social Security Disability Claims

70% of applications for Social Security Disability benefits are denied by the Social Security Administration. However, many of these claims are only denied because they lacked information required by the SSA to make a favorable determination. As an experienced Social Security Disability attorney, Nick Ortiz is familiar with the requirements to be approved for Social Security Disability or Supplemental Security Income benefits and can help get your claim approved.
