    Frequently Asked Questions

    Check out our social media posts to stay in the loop on how to move forward with your case and ensure a better outcome for yourself!
    How long does a personal injury case take to complete in order to receive compensation for a personal injury?

    The time it takes to process a personal injury claim usually depends on how long you need medical treatment. Once treatment ends, your medical records are sent to the insurance company, and negotiations can begin. This typically takes 3 to 6 months. If the case is complex, or if a lawsuit is filed, it could take longer due to court schedules.

    What are the steps involved in a personal injury claim and how is my personal injury claim processed?

    Our firm follows these general steps for personal injury claims:

    1. Determine who is responsible for the accident.
    2. Notify the liable parties and insurance companies.
    3. Request medical bills and records from all healthcare providers.
    4. If it's a motor vehicle accident, submit an application for PIP (personal injury protection) benefits.
    5. If lost wages are involved, we gather documentation and submit a claim.
    6. Ensure the client receives all necessary medical treatment.
    7. Once treatment is complete, we submit a demand for compensation to the insurance company.
    8. Negotiate a settlement and advise the client on the offer.
    9. If negotiations fail, we may pursue legal action in court or arbitration.
    10. Once a settlement or judgment is reached, we prepare the necessary documents for the insurance company to issue payment.
    How can I apply for a U.S. green card?

    You can apply for a U.S. green card through family sponsorship, employment, refugee or asylum status, or the Diversity Visa Lottery. The process involves submitting the required forms, supporting documents, and attending an interview. It's important to consult with an immigration attorney to navigate the complex procedures.

    What should I do if my visa application is denied?

    If your visa application is denied, you may be able to reapply or appeal the decision. It's crucial to understand the reason for the denial, which will be provided in the refusal letter. An immigration attorney can help you evaluate your options and determine the best course of action.

    How long does it take to become a U.S. citizen?

    The process of becoming a U.S. citizen, known as naturalization, typically takes 6 to 12 months after submitting your application. This timeline can vary depending on factors like application backlog and the specific circumstances of your case.

    What are the eligibility requirements for Social Security Disability benefits?

    To qualify for Social Security Disability benefits, you must have a medical condition that meets the Social Security Administration's definition of disability and have worked a certain number of years, paying into Social Security. Your condition must also prevent you from working for at least 12 months.

    How long does it take to get approved for Social Security Disability benefits?

    The approval process for Social Security Disability benefits can take anywhere from a few months to over a year, depending on the complexity of your case and whether you need to appeal an initial denial. It's essential to provide thorough medical documentation and follow up regularly.

    Can I work while receiving Social Security Disability benefits?

    Yes, you can work while receiving Social Security Disability benefits, but there are limits on how much you can earn. The Social Security Administration has programs like "Ticket to Work" that allow beneficiaries to return to work without immediately losing benefits. It's important to understand the earnings limits to avoid complications.
