Social Security Disability Benefits (SSD) – Frequently Asked Questions

Our team of Michigan car accident lawyers have prepared answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about applying for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits. Unfortunately, we see more and more cases where auto insurance companies are overloading the Social Security Administration by forcing people to apply for Social Security Disability.

If someone is injured in a car crash in Michigan, the first party no fault insurer (the insurance company responsible for paying your no fault PIP insurance benefits) can force a person to repeatedly apply for social security disability (SSD), and they can suspend and even terminate no fault insurance benefits if that person refuses to apply or refuses to continually appeal the disability determination.

The following outlines some of the most frequently asked questions relating to the SSD application process. At any time, if you have any additional questions or wish to speak to a car accident lawyer directly about your circumstances, please call Michigan Auto Law at 800-777-0028 or use the free consultation form (with no fee or obligation).
