"What happens when a birth injury leaves a family searching for answers?

Serious birth injury cases often require careful medical record review, timeline analysis, and expert evaluation to understand what went wrong during labor, delivery, or immediate neonatal care. These cases are medically complex and deeply personal for the families involved.

Donahue & Horrow LLP has extensive experience handling catastrophic birth injury matters and working with medical experts to build cases that focus on accountability and long-term care needs.

When an accidental death or serious injury occurs, families expect the coverage their insurance policy promised.

Accidental Death and Dismemberment claims are often denied based on disputed facts, narrow policy interpretations, or incomplete claim reviews. When that happens, policyholders and families may be left fighting for benefits owed during an already difficult time.

Understanding how these claims are evaluated is often the first step toward challenging a wrongful denial and protecting the benefits the policy was meant to provide.

When an insurer cuts off disability benefits after initially approving the claim, the fight is not over.

In this case, Donahue & Horrow LLP secured a $150,000 ERISA disability settlement for a Regional Account Executive whose demanding, travel-heavy job became impossible due to worsening arthritis, joint pain, fatigue, and spinal conditions. Although her doctors ultimately supported her disability, the insurance company relied on paper review physicians and denied the claim.

This result reflects how careful development of the medical record and strong ERISA advocacy can help policyholders challenge wrongful disability denials and recover the benefits owed.

A long-term disability denial does not always tell the full story.

A long-term disability denial does not necessarily mean the claimant is not disabled or not entitled to benefits owed. Documentation issues, insurer review standards, or incomplete records can affect an initial decision even when the policy supports coverage.

Understanding the importance of the appeal stage and acting quickly can make a meaningful difference when a denial needs to be challenged.

Tour de Pier is more than a community event for Donahue & Horrow LLP.

This year, our team once again joined the South Bay community at the Manhattan Beach Pier for a day filled with energy, encouragement, and shared purpose. Founding Partners Tom Donahue and Michael Horrow each sponsored a stationary bike and led teams of riders, continuing a firm tradition that dates back to the event’s start in 2013.

Tour de Pier supports cancer research and related causes, but it also reflects values that matter deeply to our firm: showing up, standing beside people during difficult moments, and supporting the families and communities around us.

We are grateful to everyone who rode, supported, donated, and helped make this year’s event so meaningful.

Bad faith claim handling can prevent families from accessing care when they need it most.

Long-term care insurers sometimes delay or deny valid claims through incomplete investigations, selective review of records, or claim handling that ignores policy obligations. These tactics can interfere with access to care and the benefits owed under the policy.

Recognizing the warning signs early can help policyholders and families protect their rights when long-term care coverage is needed most.

Why do ERISA disability denials require strategy from the very beginning?

ERISA disability denials are governed by strict rules that can limit what evidence is considered later. That means the way an appeal is developed early on can shape whether the full medical and vocational record supports the claim for benefits owed.

At Donahue & Horrow LLP, we focus on helping policyholders understand those rules before appeal deadlines pass and before important evidence is lost.
