Arkansas Back and Lumbar Injury Lawyer
Many of our clients are laborers — people who lift heavy equipment, perform repetitive motions, stand and walk much of the day and work on dangerous machinery. Many of our clients do sedentary work, which is work performed mostly in a seated position. Regardless, severe back pain can make it impossible for clients to sustain work activity for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Lumbar and spine injuries are the most common types of injuries we see with our clients. If you sustained a spinal cord injury or other type of lumbar injury and are now disabled, attorney Fritzie Vammen can help you.
The law office of Fritzie Moore Vammen, Attorney at Law, P.A., assists people who have become disabled and are unable to work due to back and lumbar injuries. We provide the diligent, detailed and analytical legal representation that our clients deserve.
Are You Hurt and Unable to Work Because of a Back Injury?
Arkansas back and lumbar injury attorney Fritzie Vammen has been practicing almost exclusively in Social Security law since 1986. She regularly represents roofers, drywallers, factory workers, industrial workers and others who perform manual labor jobs. These types of jobs require extensive heavy lifting, repetitive motion and other activities that can lead to degenerative conditions and accidents. If you have sustained an injury, it is important to obtain medical documentation, such as an MRI.
Symptoms of lumbar and spinal injuries can include:
- Nerve root compression
- Numbness
- Loss of reflexes
- Difficulty walking
- Loss of some use of hands, arms and upper back strength
How Do I Know if My Injury Is Bad Enough?
If you are unable to sustain an eight-hour workday while sitting, standing or in another position, you may not be able to work. It is important to speak with a Social Security Disability (SSD) attorney about your options.
How Do I Start My Application?
If your impairment has lasted or is expected to last 12 months or more, you may be entitled to Social Security Disability Insurance (SSD) benefits. There are three ways to start your application for benefits:
- Apply online at: www.ssa.gov
- Visit your local Social Security Office and a claims representative will assist you in your application
- Call the toll free Social Security Administration and a claims representative will assist you in your application
If you have been denied for all or part of the benefits to which you are entitled then our law firm can provide the vigorous representation you deserve to secure SSD benefits. We can handle your claim all the way to an appeal in federal court if necessary.
