Question:
I had a car accident a few months ago and have been in constant pain ever since. I can’t move properly without it hurting and my doctor thinks I have soft tissue injury. The pain has made it really hard for me to keep my job, but I don’t know what else to do. What are the rules for soft tissue injury and ssdi benefits, do you think I can qualify for disability income as a result of my soft tissue injury?

Answer:
A soft tissue injury can qualify you for social security disability benefits provided that it meets certain qualifications. In general, the injury will have to be to the upper or lower extremities, to the body’s trunk, to your face or to your head. The SSA must be provable by a medical physician and it must be severely disabling. The SSA may also require you to undergo tests in order to determine the extent of your injury. You should contact an experienced social security disability attorney who can help you file your claim with the SSA.
