About Carlson Bier

Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Lily Lake Illinois

As a highly respected personal injury law firm based in Illinois, Carlson Bier takes pride in offering exceptional service to those who need legal assistance regarding Medical Malpractice matters. Our dedicated team of seasoned attorneys has an extensive background and caliber experience handling cases associated with various forms of health care negligence – combating on behalf of victims who have suffered from medical errors or misconduct.

Medical Malpractice is a serious issue and operates under complex legal statutes. It occurs when a healthcare provider breaches the standard of care while performing their professional duties, resulting in harm or injury to the patient. This encompasses myriad scenarios such as surgical errors, wrongful diagnosis, prescription drug errors, hospital negligence or even birth injuries. Understanding each facet’s intricacies requires expert knowledge and unrivaled dexterity – both being paramount traits embodied by our lawyers at Carlson Bier.

In all Medical Malpractice cases, certain key elements must be established:

• A doctor-patient relationship existed: The plaintiff needs to demonstrate that they had hired the doctor and that the doctor agreed to work for them.

• Negligence for providing care: Simply presenting displeasure with your treatment results does not validate malpractice. There must be evidence indicating how the physician was negligent concerning your diagnosis or treatment.

• Direct harm caused due to negligence: It should be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that it was quite likely –even more than 50 percent– probable that the physician’s incompetence directly caused damage to you.

• The injury led to specific damages: Regardless if it evident that the practitioner did no wrong (for example, if you develop nerve damage after surgery), you cannot sue unless you sustained some kind of harm.

Boasting an impressive record and steadfast reputation across Illinois, we aid clients sift through this maze of details inherent in such cases; meticulously structuring compelling arguments that increase success probability substantially. Our client-centered approach ensures tailoring strategies encompassing claimant’s unique circumstances and factual context tied singularly around their incident – drawing upon years of focused litigation practice in personal injury law, illustrating our commitment to achieving optimal restitution for the aggrieved party. We focus squarely on each case we undertake, delivering tireless dedication towards securing pivotal evidence, obtaining expert testimonies and leveraging effective negotiation techniques.

At Carlson Bier, we understand just how strenuous dealing with medical malpractice can be – not only do victims suffer immense physical pain but are also subject to emotional distress coupled with financial turmoil from escalating medical bills and income loss due to inability to work. Our primary objective centers around mitigating this strain – ensuring your rights stay protected while advocating for maximum compensation you deserve.

We operate under a contingency fee framework – meaning if no recovery is made, you owe us nothing. This ensures full transparency on legal costs tied up against the services offered, providing our clients peace of mind that their interests align perfectly with ours – fighting fervently for a win in every case brought forward.

In light of safeguarding Illinois’s integrity and following strict compliance with its law prohibiting false advertising by implying existence where there isn’t one physically; it bears mentioning explicitly that while we indeed extend these top-quality services across the state, being a part of numerous noteworthy trials associated with renowned institutions within different localities – it doesn’t translate as having a physical office at all these locations. Henceforth stating it descriptively to dispel any misconceptions- Carlson Bier does not maintain an office based in Lily Lake.

Now that you’ve been acquainted with how meticulously we handle Medical Malpractice cases at Carlson Bier and have understood the rigorous process involved – don’t leave compensation owed to you unclaimed or let the complex legal maze deter action. Remember, every single claim carries its unique worth contingent upon various factors such as nature/severity of harm inflicted caused by negligence, extent/length of time for recovery period among others. Don’t linger wondering about if or how much could be potentially won, simply give us a call and let our experienced specialists guide you.

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.
