About Carlson Bier

Birth Injuries Lawyers in Crossville Illinois

Welcome to Carlson Bier, personal injury attorneys specializing in birth injuries with a primary aim of providing premium legal assistance to those in need. When we speak of birth injuries, they can often be traumatic and leave lifelong effects on the child’s health and well-being. It’s our duty to take these instances seriously and provide full support legally.

A birth injury refers to any damage or harm done during the birthing process. Common types include soft tissue injuries, broken bones, cerebral palsy, oxygen deprivation (or hypoxia), which can lead to brain damage and Perinatal Asphyxia characterized by an insufficient supply of oxygen before, during or just after childbirth.

• Soft tissue trauma: This is usually present when delivery equipment like forceps are used.

• Fractures: A newborn might experience fractures during a difficult delivery – commonly clavicle fractures.

• Cerebral Palsy: Is a condition caused by brain damage before, during or shortly following birth

• Oxygen Deprivation: Lack of sufficient oxygen supply could lead to HIE (hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy), leading to severe disabilities or death.

Instances of birth injuries are distressing for both parents and newborns equally. Not only do they carry potential physical hardships for the child but also involve emotional stress and significant medical expenses.

The legal aspect surrounding birth injuries can often be complicated. Parents may wonder who is responsible for their baby’s injury – the doctor? The hospital? Or were these unavoidable complications? These questions call for the guidance of experienced personal injury lawyers such as ourselves at Carlson Bier — specialists dedicated to helping you understand your rights, seek justice and potential financial compensation.

We believe in maintaining open communication lines with our clients – taking them through every step involved in filing a lawsuit relating to Birth Injuries. We will closely review your case details; study all necessary medical records; secure expert testimonies if required; negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf and if necessary, take your case to trial.

There are certain responsibilities medical providers owe their patients; one elementary factor being the ‘Standard of care’. This means a health care provider must deliver the type and level of care that a competent health professional in the same field would under similar circumstances. Any deviation from this standard causing harm can result in negligence and render them legally liable.

At Carlson Bier, we work relentlessly to ensure every claim is investigated thoroughly. Each case gets treated uniquely based on its characteristics, applicable laws and available resources. While you concentrate on your newborn’s recovery, let us focus on establishing accountability for those whose negligence resulted in birth injuries.

Educating our clients about their rights is important to us —because knowledge empowers! Remember:

• The law gives you recourse: You have the right to file a lawsuit against negligent parties.

• Time matters: abide by set legal deadlines (Statute of limitations) after which lawsuits may not be entertained

• Appropriate representation is crucial: A skilled personal injury lawyer can make all the difference!

We understand discussing such sensitive issues isn’t easy but reaching out for help is often the first step towards finding resolutions. With years of experience under our belt, we bring deep understanding well complemented with compassion to manage birth injury cases effectively.

As an Illinois grounded law firm, trust lies at our foundation – we’re sincerely committed to helping victims of birth injuries reclaim what they rightfully deserve. If you or anyone you know has undergone such hardships during childbirth due to someone’s neglect or incompetence – they may be entitled to damages – financial compensation ensuring future needs will be taken care of.

Notable Illinois Appellate Wins

Moruzzi v. CCC Servs., Inc., 2020 IL App (2d) 190411, 171 N.E.3d 61
Background: Insured motorist filed action against insurer for declaratory judgment seeking construction of automobile insurance policy issued to insured and that was in effect when insured was injured by an underinsured driver. The Circuit Court, DuPage County, Bonnie M. Wheaton, J., granted the insurer's motions for summary judgment. Insured appealed.Holdings: The Appellate Court, Zenoff, J., held that:1 medical payments reduction clause in automobile insurance policy conflicted with underinsured motorist provisions so as to render reduction clause ambiguous, and thus medical payment benefits were deductible from insured's damages;2 law firm representing insured did not create common fund or common funds when it reached settlement with underinsured motorist, and thus law firm was not entitled to recover fees under common-fund doctrine; and3 collateral estoppel did not bar automobile insurers from litigating whether common-fund doctrine applied in insured motorist's declaratory judgment action.Affirmed in part and reversed in part.
Maier v. CC Servs., Inc., 2019 IL App (3d) 170640, 132 N.E.3d 795
Background: After insured, who was injured in automobile collision with another driver, recovered full liability limits of driver's policy, she filed amended complaint for declaratory judgment against her own automobile insurer, alleging that insurer breached contractual duty to pay for insured's damages in accordance with uninsured/underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage in insured's policy and that insurer acted in bad faith in denying insured such coverage. The Circuit Court, La Salle County, Troy D. Holland, J., granted the insurer's motion to dismiss claims as time-barred. Insured appealed.The Appellate Court ruled that neither the insurer nor the insured could add amended policy provisions to the court record. It was decided that the policy's requirement for a written arbitration demand applied to both uninsured and underinsured motorist claims. The court found that a letter from the insured's attorney to the insurer wasn't a valid arbitration demand nor a proof of loss to toll the statute of limitations. Finally, the insurer was permitted to use the defense based on the two-year statute of limitations period. The court's decision was affirmed.
Econ. Premier Assurance Co. v. Country Mut. Ins. Co., 2021 IL App (1st) 192364-U
Holding: The circuit court's order that granted defendant's motion for summary judgment and denied plaintiff's motion for partial summary judgment was proper where defendant had no duty to indemnify its insured with respect to the underlying complaint and therefore plaintiff was not entitled to recover against defendant on its subrogation or unjust enrichment claims; affirmed.
Country Preferred Ins. Co. v. Westerheide, 2023 IL App (5th) 220343-U
Holding: The court affirmed judgment of the circuit court granting summary judgment in favor of the plaintiff where the defendant failed to make a written demand for arbitration within two years from the date of the accident as required by the underinsured provisions of the defendant's automotive insurance policy.
Country Mut. Ins. Co. v. Olsak, 2022 IL App (1st) 200695, 216 N.E.3d 291
In a complex legal case, an insurer sought to avoid defending or indemnifying a hockey player under a policy issued to the player's stepfather after the player was sued for assaulting his coach. The initial Circuit Court ruling favored the insurer, but the Appellate Court reversed this decision, leading to a protracted legal battle. Ultimately, the Appellate Court determined the insurer was liable only up to the $3 million policy limit and found the insurer's four-year delay in seeking a declaratory judgment to be reasonable. This case highlights important aspects of insurance litigation and policy limit liabilities.
Country Mut. Ins. Co. v. Durkin Elec. Co., Inc., 2022 IL App (1st) 210293-U, appeal denied, 199 N.E.3d 1187 (Ill. 2022)
Holding: The circuit court's order that denied plaintiff's motion for partial summary judgment and found that defendant was an additional insured under the policy was proper. The circuit court's order that denied defendant's motion for summary judgment and found that plaintiff did not have a duty to defend or indemnify defendant under the policy was proper; affirmed.
Country Preferred Ins. Co. v. Groen, 2017 IL App (4th) 160028, 69 N.E.3d 911
Background: Uninsured motorist (UM) carrier brought action against insured for declaratory judgment that it owed no benefits since workers' compensation received by insured exceeded policy limits. The Circuit Court, Sangamon County, Chris Perrin, J., entered summary judgment in favor of the carrier. Insured appealed.Holdings: The Appellate Court, Harris, J., held that:1 employer's medical payments entitled carrier to setoff, and2 setoff clauses were enforceable.Affirmed.
Country Mut. Ins. Co. v. Frobish, 2021 IL App (3d) 190473-U
Holding: Allegations in the underlying complaint that a township employee caused property damage by excavating and digging out a ditch failed to impose a duty to defend under township employee's individual farm insurance policy.
Country Mut. Ins. Co. v. Jones, 2018 IL App (1st) 173154-U
Holding: The judgment of the circuit court of Cook County is affirmed; plaintiff is entitled to summary judgment on its claim for a declaratory judgment that it has no duty to defend or indemnify its insured against the underlying complaint because the loss claimed in the underlying complaint is subject to an exclusion. The court held that it would also enter judgment for plaintiff because the underlying complaint does not allege an “occurrence” causing bodily injury within the meaning of the policy.
Country Mut. Ins. Co. v. Schmitt, 2021 IL App (5th) 190173-U
Holding: The appellate court reversed and remanded the judgment of the circuit court where plaintiff had no duty to defend its insured and thus was not stopped from raising policy defenses to coverage for the underlying tort action contained in the amended declaratory action.
Country Mut. Ins. Co. v. Livorsi Marine, Inc., 222 Ill. 2d 303, 856 N.E.2d 338 (2006) (the late Keith Carlson)
Liability insurer brought action against insureds for a declaratory judgment based on failure to provide timely notice of lawsuits against them. The Circuit Court, Cook County, Stephen A. Schiller, J., entered judgment for the insurer. Insureds appealed. The Appellate Court, Wolfson, J., 358 Ill.App.3d 880, 295 Ill.Dec. 665, 833 N.E.2d 871, affirmed. Leave to appeal was granted.Holdings: The Supreme Court, Garman, J., held that:1 if the insurer did not receive reasonable notice of an occurrence or a lawsuit, the policyholder may not recover under the policy, regardless of whether the lack of reasonable notice prejudiced the insurer, overruling Rice v. AAA Aerostar, Inc., 294 Ill.App.3d 801, 229 Ill.Dec. 20, 690 N.E.2d 1067, and Cincinnati Insurance Co. v. Baur's Opera House, Inc., 296 Ill.App.3d 1011, 230 Ill.Dec. 624, 694 N.E.2d 593, and2 insured did not need to prove that it was prejudiced by delayed notice of lawsuits.Affirmed.
