Los Angeles, CA - Many workers in the United States experience disability at some point in their careers, and for many, this means relying on Social Security benefits, either temporarily or for the rest of their lives. Navigating disability law in California can be difficult, regardless of the type of injury or circumstance. For individuals whose health, mobility, or quality of life has already been impacted, managing the necessary paperwork, meeting eligibility requirements, and keeping up with tight deadlines can feel overwhelming.
Bourhis Law Group is a family-owned law firm with decades of experience representing plaintiffs in disability insurance cases. Led by award-winning trial attorney Matthew Bourhis, who carries forward the legacy of his father, Ray Bourhis, the law firm has been holding insurance companies accountable and obtaining life-changing damages for clients for over half a century. As a small firm offering compassionate and honest advocacy, the team is highly selective about the cases it takes on to give clients the attention they deserve during a stressful time.
Workers who are unable to perform their duties due to illness or injury can file long-term disability (LTD) claims with the firm. The team at Bourhis Law Group assists with every step of the process, including preparing and organizing documentation, as well as handling communications with private insurance companies, whether those policies are provided by employers or purchased independently.
Additionally, the Los Angeles disability attorney is well-versed in representing clients who have suffered a catastrophic loss, including physical impairment or neurological disorders, which have changed their capacity to earn a living or live independently. The team approaches these cases comprehensively, considering the client's medical, vocational, and financial needs to accurately calculate the long-term impact.
Individuals whose employer-sponsored disability benefits were denied or terminated can file for ERISA appeals, which are governed by federal law and require adherence to specific administrative procedures, timelines, and evidence standards. Bourhis Law Group focuses on building comprehensive administrative records at the appeal stage to introduce the evidence before litigation becomes necessary.
Beyond disability claims and appeals, the Insurance attorney represents policyholders when insurers fail to meet their contractual obligations or comply with California insurance law. In cases of insurance bad faith, the firm advocates for clients facing issues such as unjust claim denials, delayed payments, inadequate investigations, or misrepresentations of policy terms by insurance companies.
From its dedication to representing clients' interests to its extensive knowledge of California's disability laws, Bourhis Law Group has received many glowing reviews from clients.
"I highly recommend Matthew for anyone seeking help with disability insurance claims. From the moment I contacted him, I felt reassured by their professionalism and expertise. Matthew thoroughly understood my situation and provided clear, compassionate guidance throughout the entire process...I was able to secure the benefits I deserved..." Omar, satisfied client.
