Most Social Security (SS) disability attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, so you don’t have to pay any upfront costs to hire one for help with your disability claim.
Common Out-of-Pocket Expenses
Typical out-of-pocket expenses are usually nominal. However, an attorney is allowed to recover those fees from you.
Here are some of the common expenses you may be asked to pay upfront, which then taken from the trust account:
- Medical records. Your attorney may have to pay to obtain your medical records that help prove you’re disabled. However in Nebraska medical records use in a social security disability case are free. Iowa medical providers charge for medical records..
- Medical opinions. To help your case, your attorney may need a written opinion from your doctor and/or other medical professionals detailing your medical condition and how it disabled you. Most medical providers charge for the time necessary to review the records and prepare a report.
Your SS disability attorney will provide you with a statement that details how the law firm handles these out-of-pocket expenses. If the firm covers these fees for you, you'll be billed for them after the case is closed.
