Can I receive social security benefits, in-the-line of duty disability benefits, short-term or long-term disability benefits and workers compensation benefits at the same time?
Yes, you may receive some of these benefits at the same time although the amount may be reduced due to your receipt of other benefits. Can I afford a lawyer and what is meant by no recovery-no fee? Yes, you can afford a lawyer because if there is no recovery, there is no fee or costs. This means that our law firm pays all the up front costs, and you pay nothing until a recovery is obtained. Any questions you have regarding the fee and cost agreement with our firm will be explained to you in detail. Why do I need a lawyer when the insurance company has offered to pay my medical bills?
