A long-term disability denial does not have to end the claim.

Insurance companies may deny benefits even when a claimant has serious medical limitations. The outcome often depends on how the documentation is developed, how the appeal is handled, and how well the claim reflects the actual impact of the condition on work.

Understanding the process and taking the next step promptly can make a meaningful difference in pursuing the benefits owed.

When failures during labor and delivery cause permanent injury, the consequences can last a lifetime.

In this case, Donahue & Horrow LLP secured a $5.45 million settlement for a mother and her young son after negligent prenatal and labor care caused severe brain injury and spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy. Despite signs of fetal distress, the hospital and physicians failed to act quickly and did not properly follow the standard cooling protocol after birth.

This recovery helps ensure the child will receive lifelong care and support, giving his family the resources needed to focus on his future.

Does a larger law firm always mean stronger results?

When insurance claims are denied or serious injuries lead to high-stakes litigation, many people assume they need a large national firm to take on a major insurer. In reality, a boutique firm with deep experience, direct attorney involvement, and a litigation-first approach can provide the focused strategy and individualized attention these cases require.

Donahue & Horrow LLP combines enterprise-level litigation experience with a boutique, hands-on approach that keeps each case grounded in the client’s actual medical, occupational, and financial realities.

Do you know what happens before an ERISA disability denial lawsuit reaches court?

ERISA disability denials are often shaped long before litigation begins. Appeal deadlines, denial letters, and the administrative record can all affect whether benefits owed are ultimately recovered.

That is why early strategy matters. Understanding the process at the appeal stage can make a meaningful difference in what evidence is preserved and how the claim is positioned.

"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.
