In 2007, nearly 50 million Americans will receive over $602 billion in Social Security benefits. Although Social Security is generally associated with elderly retired individuals, Social Security provides more than just retirement benefits.

Retired workers and their dependents account for 69% of total benefits paid. In addition, disabled workers and their dependents account for 17% of total benefits paid.

If a worker has been injured in any way that keeps him or her from being able to work and earn a living, then that worker might be entitled to Social Security and disability payments. To determine whether your situation and circumstances warrant such payments, it is important to contact knowledgeable Social Security and disability attorneys who know the ins and outs of Social Security and disability law to see if you have a case.
