About Carlson Bier

Birth Injuries Lawyers in Odin Illinois

When addressing the deeply distressing issue of birth injuries, it’s imperative to partner with an experienced and compassionate legal team like Carlson Bier. Based in Illinois, our law firm specializes in personal injury cases, dedicating countless hours to fighting for the rights and fair compensation of victims. Birth injuries present unique challenges requiring focused expertise; this is where our dedicated lawyers step in.

A birth injury can range from minor bruises or fractures that quickly heal on their own to severe physical trauma or neurological damage that may require lifelong care. Some potential causes include a lack of oxygen during delivery, improper use of delivery instruments, delay in performing necessary c-sections, and failure to identify fetal distress promptly. The effects are equally varied – from developmental delays, learning disabilities or more grave complications like cerebral palsy and Erb’s Palsy which inflict a lifetime of hardship not only on the child but also imposes emotional stress and financial strains on the family.

• Cerebral Palsy: This condition results from brain damage caused by lack of oxygen during delivery (birth asphyxia) often resulting in speech difficulties, motor function impairment among other issues.

• Erb’s Palsy: Often caused by shoulder dystocia during birth leading to nerve damage impacting arm function.

• Perinatal Asphyxia: A direct result of inadequate blood flow to the fetus or insufficient oxygen levels can lead broadly ranging developmental deficits.

• Spinal Cord Injuries: These injuries could be due to excessive stretching or hyperextension during labor causing permanent disability.

Despite modern medicine advancement including prenatal care standards and stringent labor room protocols designed to prevent such misfortunes, preventable errors occur which amplify the already intense pain coursing through distraught families left reeling over a newborn’s compromised health. It isn’t solely about securing financial compensation—it’s also about accountability and ensuring others don’t endure similar suffering.

Carlson Bier lends its expertise relentlessly until justice is served—providing unwavering assistance in sorting through the complex medical records, identifying responsible parties and proving negligence or malpractice, fighting to ensure families receive compensation covering past and future medical expenses, physical therapy, counseling services, special education needs as well as pain and suffering. Furthermore, our personal injury lawyers remain committed supporters throughout the process offering emotional support during these difficult times.

This journey relies heavily on trust which is why at Carlson Bier—it’s not just about legal representation but also forming a dependable partnership with connective empathy for individual circumstances. Our no-win no-fee policy ensures you pay only when justice rings louder than your worries and apprehensions guaranteeing fair treatment regardless of financial capability.

The complexity of birth injuries cases can be overwhelming—legal definitions swarming around medical jargon; Carlson Bier lawyers strive to present every detail in easy-to-understand terms allowing informed decisions at each stage of litigation without adding further confusion to this tumultuous voyage.

Our severe injury attorneys work hard to ensure clients feel heard, validated and most importantly—are met with resolutions reflecting their rights. Despite being physically located outside Odin – our virtual assistance spans wide over multiple cities focusing exclusively on what truly matters: client’s needs first over conventional boundaries.

Birth injuries signify a struggle against adversity from day one—for the child fighting for normalcy—and family striving towards some semblance of peace amid stormy times. Leveraging our insight into litigation intricacies associated with birth injuries paves a smoother path towards closure.

If your world has been fractured by a birth injury-related incident , don’t carry the burden alone; let us shoulder it together because it may hold profound repercussions extending beyond immediate hospital bills—repercussions that desperately need addressing today for a better tomorrow.

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.
