St. Louis Disability Lawyers
Lampin, Kell, Fagras, Linson, Custer & Buehler
A traffic accident, an on-the-job injury, a catastrophic illness, a reaction to medication, a heart attack, a stroke -- any one of these can result in a musculoskeletal, cardiac, respiratory, urologic, muscle, psychological or mental impairment that can prevent the victim from working.
Whatever the condition or the cause, if you or a family member is no longer able to work, you may be entitled to benefits. If you are suffering from a workplace injury, we can help you secure the benefits you need to continue supporting yourself and your family.
We are a firm committed to Social Security Disabilty, Personal Injury and Mass Tort litigation. Our lawyers have the experience necessary to fully evaluate and handle even the most complex cases. We treat each case with the attitude that, “We will leave no stone unturned.” At Lampin, Kell, Fagras, Linson, Custer & Buehler, we give each client the personal attention they deserve and expect.
As experienced trial lawyers, we provide personalized services related to:
- Social Security Disability (SSD)
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
- Cessation
- Disabled Widows or Widowers
- Children’s Benefits Claims
- Workers’ Compensation Claims
- Mass Tort Litigation
- Mesothelioma/ Lung Cancer/ Asbestosis
- Benzene/ Leukemia Lititgation
- Personal Injury
- Workplace Injuries
- Airplane Crashes
- Auto/Truck Accidents
- Defective Drugs and/or Products
- Wrongful Death
We help adults who are sick or who have been injured and can no longer work. We also represent children with serious medical and psychological problems, assisting them with their claims for childhood SSI benefits.
However simple and straightforward the initial application seems, the appellate process is highly technical and often overwhelmingly complex for non-lawyers. If your initial claim is denied, your appeal will involve a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. At this point, you will need a highly experienced Social Security Disability attorney who is thoroughly familiar with the intricacies of procedural law that will govern your appeal.
Fighting for the Rights of Injured Workers
Our Firm also has a strong record when it comes to Workers' Compensation claims. Workers’ Compensation benefits are denied for a variety of reasons, often involving a dispute over the cause, nature, severity and impact of the injury. If your claim has been denied, we will help you file a strong appeal that details your injury, its cause and its impact on your ability to perform job duties. As skilled St. Louis Disability Lawyers, we guide clients through the complex process of obtaining medical care, and also represent the families of workers who have died as a result of work-related injuries.
We have the understanding that a law firm must have and the resources necessary to fight for our clients. Whether we go “toe to toe” with insurance companies, government agencies or large corporations, we seek to recover the compensation that a client is entitled to. We treat each case individually, and our clients always come first. Our goal is to provide every client with quality representation to obtain the results they deserve.

Practice Areas and Legal Definitions
Most attorneys do not handle Social Security disability and/or SSI cases. The attorney fees are set and limited by law and the field is highly technical. The outcome of your Social Security disability claim will affect the rest of your life. Before you hire a Social Security lawyer, take the time to make sure he or she is an experienced lawyer. Do not hesitate to ask straightforward and probing questions about the nature and extent of your Social Security claim representation.
Social Security Disability (SSD):
Social Security provides disability insurance benefits to those who have worked and paid Social Security taxes and have become disabled. In order to receive benefits, the claimant must establish 1) that the disabling condition makes it impossible to perform any substantial work, and 2) that the disability is expected to last at least a year or until death.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI):
Social Security provides SSI benefits for those who are severely disabled but not eligible to receive Social Security disability insurance benefits. This is usually because the claimant did not work long enough in Social Security covered employment to establish eligibility. SSI differs substantially from Social Security disability. The benefits are lower, there is no provision for dependent or survivors benefits, and the disabled person cannot own substantial assets or have substantial income from any source.
Cessation:
Cessation involves the involuntary termination of Social Security disability or SSI benefits. This is usually based on a determination that the disabling condition does not exist or no longer exists and/or, in the case of SSI, that the disabled person’s income and/or assets are too substantial to warrant benefits.
