Social Security Disability

The Law Office of David Gantt specializes in the representation of individuals who have become disabled because of a serious illness or injury and denied their Social Security disability benefits. Denial of these disability insurance claims creates a severe hardship on individuals who have worked all their life. Our clients can no longer perform their current job or any other job in the workplace, have their everyday existence threatened by the denial of their Social Security disability benefits.

The process of appealing Social Security disability claims is very time consuming and problematic for individuals seeking disability benefits. Understanding the rules and regulations regarding the Social Security Administration's system of filing and obtaining approval for disability insurance benefits can be frustrating, overwhelming and confusing.

We provide expert representation to clients seeking Social Security Disability benefits and to clients whose existing benefit claims have been denied by the Social Security Administration.

Workers' Compensation

Workers' Compensation laws are meant to ensure that employees who are injured and/or disabled on the job are provided with fixed monetary awards. Our laws also provide benefits for dependents of those workers who are killed due to work-related accidents or illnesses. North Carolina's Workers Compensation laws establish a framework for recovery for employees.

If injured on the job, you are entitled to fair compensation for your injuries and financial strain. Most employers are required by NC law to carry workers' compensation insurance. As an injured worker, you are entitled to receive the necessary medical treatment, including therapy, prescriptions, and any medical supplies that may be required to treat your injury. If you are left with any permanent disability, you are also entitled to compensation for your permanency. In addition, you are be able to keep your wages coming in while you are recovering.

Personal Injury

The Law Office of David Gantt represents individuals and the families of individuals who have been seriously injured or killed as a result of the negligent or wrongful conduct of others. We understand how insurance companies and lawyers representing the negligent party think. Insurance companies are interested in minimizing their economic exposure when a serious injury or death has occurred. These companies hire attorneys whose job it is to aggressively undermine each aspect of your claim. We know their tactics. We handle each case as if it will proceed to trial. We are not afraid to take a case all the way to jury verdict if that is what is necessary to produce the best possible result. Our firm represents individuals injured in all types of situations including industrial, construction, and equipment-related accidents
