Arthritis

Does Arthritis Prevent You From Working?

If you are not able to work because of rheumatoid arthritis, you may be eligible for Social Security benefits. Stephen H. Hagler, Attorney at Law, knows how to help you get the benefits you need. We have been helping people like you in Georgia and South Carolina for more than 30 years, so you can be confident with our experience on your side.

Severe rheumatoid arthritis may impact mobility in the fingers, wrists, elbows, shoulders, hips, knees, ankles, toes and neck. This condition causes much more than joint pain, and it is not surprising that it can prevent you from working. We can help.

We understand that this is not an easy situation for you. You want to earn a paycheck and now you can’t because of rheumatoid arthritis. Social Security disability insurance (SSDI) and supplemental security income (SSI) are programs that were created to help people like you.

No charge unless we get results

All rheumatoid arthritis cases are handled on a contingency basis, which means we don’t charge unless we get results. If we are successful, we will only ask for a percentage of the past due Social Security benefits you are entitled to. This percentage is set and capped by statute, meaning that all lawyers essentially charge the same for this service. In other words, you should choose an attorney based on experience and ability, rather than price.
