You can apply for disability benefits online, but if you are denied you are going to have to contact a lawyer to appeal the decision. I would think you should be able to work with an attorney through the web to do this.  Here is the Social Security Disability Website that will tell you how to apply online.  Click here for an article that discusses the three main questions I ask when deciding whether to investigate a potential medical malpractice case. This discusses the issue of financial viability. Click here for an article that explains what you can and should expect when pursuing a medical malpractice case.

Since I am a lawyer, I need to advise you of the following when I communicate with you: Please note that by attempting to answer your question, I am not acting as your attorney. I will do nothing further to protect or preserve your interests in the absence of any additional discussion with you about this matter. John Ratkowitz, Esq.
