About Carlson Bier

Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Lena Illinois

Carlson Bier, a distinguished personal injury law firm in Illinois, leverages its vast experience to represent victims of Medical Malpractice. This is no small feat considering the technical and legal complexities inherent in these cases.

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider neglects or deviates from accepted medical practices, resulting in harm to the patient. Its ramifications are often far-reaching and detrimental, affecting both physical health and mental well-being. The Carlson Bier team works tirelessly to bring offenders to justice in these scenarios.

Several aspects differentiate us at Carlson Bier from other Law firms, primarily:

– Our personalized approach: We believe that exceptional attorney-client relationships create formidable advocacy. Our attorneys maintain direct contact with each client throughout their case journey.

– Depth of knowledge: Mastering the intricate maze of medical laws requires ongoing research and learning. At Carlsons Bier, our keen interest coupled with years of accumulated knowledge enables us to navigate deftly through this complex field.

– Vast Experience: With decades-long combined practical experience among our staff members, we bring seasoned perspectives into every case.

Understanding your claim’s value is not just crucial for preparing mentally; it also sets realistic outcome expectations during litigations. Several factors determine compensation amounts after verdicts or settlements such as:

1) Medical expenses incurred both past and future – if injuries require long-term treatment.

2) Lost income if the victim gets prohibitive, either temporarily or permanently,

3) Physical suffering alongside emotional anguish including stress-related ailments borne due to the incidence.

In addition to offering skilled representation in court by arguing your case passionately before the jury, we negotiate aggressively on your behalf out-of-court too. It’s noteworthy that many insurers aim at closing cases speedily – usually at meager compensation amounts. No insurer can intimidate us! We fight fiercely until achieving fair compensatory amounts for you – nothing less!

At Carlson Bier, quality isn’t all about winning cases; it’s also about empathizing with clients and understanding their frustrations and worries. Medical malpractice victims often find themselves grappling emotionally due to life changes resulting from the negligent act. Our professional support here extends beyond courtroom representation – we stand by you throughout this challenging journey offering advice, interpreting legal jargon, helping you to access appropriate professional help like therapists and dedicated medical personnel among other forms of support.

Sometimes victims may shy off pursuing justice due to perceived enormous legal costs associated. If financial concerns are worrying you, alleviate your fears right now! At Carlson Bier, our payment model is structured in such a way that we don’t receive a dime unless we win your case or reach favorable settlement terms for you.

Medical malpractice is highly technical legally speaking: tons of paperwork is involved, strict timelines apply and vast medical terms necessitate interpretation frequently. Our Law firm has specialized paralegals who diligently attend to all these aspects thus ensuring no slip-ups occur potentially jeopardizing your case.

To underline how seriously we take our work at Carlson Bier consider the following points which guide our operations:

– Thorough Investigation: To build an unshakeable case, one needs irrefutable evidence. This step involves obtaining all relevant documents such as hospital records and consulting experts if need be.

– Superior Case Handling: Each medical malpractice case is unique; thus demands its handling approach tailor-made precisely for it.

– Total Commitment: We strive to provide comprehensive solutions necessary not only professionally but personally too!

Embarking on a personal injury claim can be overwhelming- particularly when dealing with physical pain alongside emotional trauma borne out of negligence by trusted healthcare providers. However, the skilled attorneys at Carlson Bier believe in empowering clients through knowledge while taking over the litigation mantle passionately on their behalf.

While winning justifiable compensation remains central towards alleviating suffering occasioned by recklessness shown by doctors or nurses tasked with keeping us safe, getting closure goes a long way in helping victims heal and recoup their lives.

Carlson Bier desires to walk this path with you. Feel confident reaching out to us today for assessment, advice and possible representation. We cannot change the past; however, we commit solemnly towards being an instrumental part of your brighter future by passing the justice you so much deserve. Do not let misgivings or complacency keep you from pursuing what rightfully belongs to 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)

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.
