Houston Veteran's Disability Attorney Marc Whitehead Assists Those Who Served Our Country

Houston, Texas (Marketwire)-November 24, 2009-Houston attorney Marc Whitehead is personally committed to assisting men and women faced with Veteran's disability claims.

Each year, hundreds of thousands of veterans who have served in our country's military services suffer from service-connected disabilities. Some are physical in nature, such as back, knee or shoulder injuries. But, post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is taking on greater proportions in disability claims. The frightening aspect of this disorder is that while many veterans who are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan will seek treatment immediately after their involvement in traumatic event, many Vietnam veterans are just recognizing the symptoms for the first time.
Accredited Veterans Claim Attorney, Marc Whitehead has a personal understanding the need for helping Veterans with the legal aspects of disability concerns.  He has observed first hand, service connected injuries frequently do not become severe until years after the Veteran has left the military.

The law firm of Marc Whitehead & Associates represent veterans at all levels within the VA disability system.  There can be many steps to the process from applying to the Veterans Administration, completing the necessary forms, requesting medical records and submitting the application for benefits.  If benefits are denied, the appeal process can be very difficult to understand, but Whitehead has the experience to guide a client through the proper channels which include the VA Regional Office, the Board of Veterans' Appeals and the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims.

Houston personal injury attorney Marc Whitehead draws on his personal experience in his desire to help veterans faced with disability claims.  He was raised by his uncle, who was as disabled Veteran with service in the United States Army during WWII as well as the Korean War. Whitehead witnessed the physical toll that his service to his country took upon his body as he grew older and the difficulty his uncle had in receiving his Veterans Disability benefits.

"The men and women who serve our country should not have to fight their own government to receive medical benefits," said Whitehead, who is an accredited Veterans Claim Attorney.  "If needed, I will protect for the rights of veterans seeking disability benefits and make sure they receive the highest standard of medical and psychological care."
