What Can We Do for Mike?
We once worked with a client named Mike.* From the late ‘70s through the early ‘80s, Mike worked as an airplane mechanic in the military. One day, he was working on a plane when he fell and injured his back. He went to the hospital, where he was treated, and returned to work. Despite his injury, he went on to serve many more years in the military. After his service, Mike found a job working for United Airlines and worked with them for 30 years. One Sunday, Mike was at home with his family. He was playing with his granddaughter, and as he picked her up, his back gave way — a couple discs were blown. Mike couldn’t return to work the next day and found himself in a dire situation. What could Mike do? At first, the answer was nothing. He went to see a personal injury lawyer, who told him, “There’s nothing you can do.” The lawyer told him that since it was a Sunday afternoon, and he wasn’t at work when the injury happened, he didn’t have any legal avenues. At this point, Mike’s situation looked grim. He was out of work with no hope in sight. Then, Mike’s case came to our firm. Unlike previous counsel, we knew Mike had options. There were, in fact, three legal options for Mike. Because Mike had been in the military, he could pursue a veterans disability claim. If he could prove his injury was connected to his time in the service, he could be covered by veterans disability compensation. Mike could also file a long-term disability insurance claim because of the policy he has as part of his employee benefits package he has through United Airlines. Thirdly, Mike was eligible to file for Social Security Disability because of his long work history. Together, we found the best plan for Mike and returned his sense of hope. It can feel hopeless when you don’t think there’s anything else to cover you. Mike’s case illustrates how empowering it is when people know all their options. We share this story to highlight the importance of having lawyers who are aware and knowledgeable in cases like this.
