Disabled Veterans, Are You Struggling with the VA?

What a “Denial for Benefits” letter looks like. How to appeal a denied claim, and much more ...

As a veteran myself, and a squared away attorney who has helped hundreds of veterans with their disability claims, I know firsthand just how drawn out the process can be. I realized that many veterans do not have access to solid, honest information about veterans’ disability benefits and I wanted to change that. So I wrote the book on it, “Standby to Standby: Why Your Veteran Benefits Are Taking So Long and What You Can Do About It.”

Review from Amazon.com: “This book is simply outstanding. I really wish this book was available years ago. I now have a better understanding on how to deal with my VA Claim. I can not even begin to tell you how important this book is to us veterans either in the beginning or the middle of dealing with the VA compensation department. I have gained valuable knowledge after reading this book.” – Joe, Amazon Book Review

After all, the better you understand the system, the quicker you can receive the benefits you deserve.

From “Standby to Standby” you will learn … • Five things you can do to move your case along faster. • Why it takes so long to receive a decision. • Six tips for writing an email to your congressman and/or senator about your claim. • How to create and authenticate your eBenefits account. • What an “Awarded Benefits” letter looks like. Slip-and-Fall Cases 8 Steps to Take After An Injury We’re all familiar with those “Caution Wet Floor” signs you find in grocery store aisles after a spill. You may think these signs are a kind gesture, alerting shoppers of a potentially slick surface, but they’re actually much more important than that. Properly marking and dealing with a potential source of injury is a business owner’s legal responsibility. If they fail to do so, they can be held liable for injuries suffered on their premises when customers slip, trip, or fall. Slip-and-fall injuries are the most common type of premises liability claims, which is the technical name for cases that result from an injury that occurred while at a shop, restaurant, or other business. Premises liability cases need to prove that a property owner did one of three things: created a dangerous condition, failed to remedy a dangerous condition, or failed to warn others of a dangerous condition.
