Why do I need a lawyer to file a Social Security Disability claim?

Kantrovitz & Associates, P.C.

Each and every person filing for social security disability benefits should hire an attorney. Number one: Because it doesn't cost them anything.

And number three: You're gonna want a qualified attorney to go with you to a hearing, should the matter get that far, to appropriately do a direct cross examination of not only yourself, but the medical expert and the vocational expert that the administrative law judge is going to listen to. My name's Eric Chisholm of Kantrovitz & Associates. For the last 20 years, we've been representing people in the greater Boston area in matters of workers' compensation, personal injury, and social security disability.

If you've been involved in a dog bite incident, it's important to provide the information to the local police, to the local animal control; because that dog may be infected with a number of different diseases, including rabies.

What's the #1 misconception people have about dog bite injuries?

Mazow & McCullough

The number one misconception in the state of Massachusetts involving dog bite attacks is who's going to pay the claim, who's going to compensate you for your injuries and often times there is no insurance coverage available. Either the specific owner did not involve the insurance company or fill out the documents on their insurance application involving the dog or notifying the insurance company that they owned the dog; that may allow the insurance company to deny the claim.
