How Insler & Hermann' Own Stephanie Burkland Changed the Way that the Social Security Administration Does Business

Изображение
  Here at Insler & Hermann, we have found that winning a Social Security Disability claim is the result of dozens, if not hundreds, of separate action steps taken by our dedicated attorneys and staff. No one particular step is any more important than another, and there is usually no single thing that can be singled out as the reason a case is won. It's the combination of everything we do that leads to favorable decisions. Our work is not over when a favorable decision comes in, however. In fact, it is at that point that we do for our clients what I consider to be the single most important thing: review their award certificate, the document that explains their retroactive and ongoing payments and the attorney's fee. Mistakes in that document are common, and a claimant who has never seen one before doesn't know what to look for. In our office, we take this review very seriously, and our entire staff is vigilant to catch mistakes made by the Social Security Administratio

Judge Kenneth Cowsert Retiring

 Judge Cowsert, who has been on Snohomish County Superior Court bench since 1999, retired last Friday. I was fortunate to have tried the last case before Judge Cowsert with a verdict coming in last Wednesday. Judge Cowsert has been one of the bright lights on the Snohomish Superior Court bench and we can just hope that his replacement will be able to fill his shoes. Lawyer in New York. During the trial Judge Cowsert was exceptional. He made very well reasoned rulings, was accomodating and respectful of all parties and counsel, and perhaps most importantly, let us try the case. Best wishes in retirement.

Court Requires Social Security Judge to Consult Vocational Expert in Disability Benefits Case - Quiros v. Astrue

Изображение
  The central question in a Social Security Disability case is whether the person seeking benefits can still work, despite any physical or mental impairments. That includes both a consideration of any limits on the claimant's ability to work imposed by the impairments, and the types of jobs the claimant can perform, given those limits and his or her education, background and experience. This decision often involves input from a vocational expert (VE), a vocational professional engaged by the SSA to provide an opinion as to whether a person with the same background and impairments as the claimant's can still work. In Quiros v. Astrue, the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida explains that in certain circumstances, it's not just a good idea for the Social Security Administration (SSA) and its judges to consult a VE, it's a requirement. The SSA denied Plaintiff Odemaris Quiros' disability benefits claim, in which Quiros claimed she was unable to wor

Court: Spotty Medical Treatment Does Not Bar Disability Benefits Award - Torres v. Astrue

 In a perfect world, a person seeking Social Security Disability benefits will support his or her claim with a detailed record of regular medical treatment, explaining the claimant's impairments and how they affect his or her functioning. For a number of reasons, however, this is not always possible. In Torres v. Astrue, the District Court for the District of South Carolina concluded that a person's inability to get appropriate medical treatment is not, in itself, sufficient basis to find the person ineligible for disability benefits. The Social Security Administration (SSA) denied Plaintiff Carlos Torres' disability benefits claim, in which he asserted that he remained unable to work due to a variety of impairments, including a spine injury. Following an administrative hearing before an SSA Administrative Law Judge (ALJ), the Judge found that Plaintiff was disabled from July 15,2005 through July 23,2007. The ALJ further determined that Plaintiff experienced medical improv
