About Carlson Bier

Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Chrisman Illinois

As your respected Illinois personal injury attorneys, Carlson Bier is here to assist you on stressful paths such as those brought about by medical malpractice incidents. Providing expert legal counsel in the field of Personal Injury Law, we specialize in aiding victims of reckless or negligent healthcare practices recover and pursue justice.

Medical Malpractice can be a complex domain. It occurs when a healthcare professional departs from the established “standard of care” during the treatment of a patient. The “standard of care” is what essentially determines if malpractice has occurred- it’s what an equally skilled and careful professional would have acted upon within similar circumstances. This lapse often results in harm or injury to the patient. For law practitioners like us at Carlson Bier, we place utmost importance on ensuring that those who’ve suffered receive fair compensation for their ordeal.

Several subcategories fit under Medical Malpractice:

• Surgical errors: These include incorrect incisions, leaving surgical instruments inside patients, or even operating on wrong body parts.

• Misdiagnosis/ Delayed Diagnosis: Misreading or ignoring laboratory results leading to health deterioration due to wrong diagnosis.

• Medication Errors: Prescribing inappropriate medications or dosages which pose serious side-effects,

• Anesthesia Errors: Administering too much/an insufficient amount of anesthesia.

• Childbirth Injuries: Negligence during childbirth can lead to severe injuries for both mother and child.

Navigating through these tricky terrains requires sound legal guidance. Our team emphasizes meeting all four elements needed for building a solid medical malpractice claim: duty (proving that there was a doctor-patient relationship), breach (doctor’s negligence leading violation against standard care), damages (actual harm done) and causation (direct correlation between negligence and damage).

Trustworthy legal representation matters immensely especially given Illinois’ Statute of Limitations –which states that most medical negligence claims must be filed within two years from recognizing injury caused by said misdeeds. Carlson Bier exists to serve you with all the profound dedication, wisdom, and meticulousness your case deserves.

Wronged by Medical Malpractice? Rest assured that you have a potent course of action readily available: seek legal help promptly to protect rights or lose them forever-we at Carlson Bier revolve around showing you that path. Our team excels in uncovering evidence, interviewing expert witnesses to testify on standard care violations, bargaining with insurance companies, and guiding our clients in powerfully articulating their narrative before juries. Conversely we root for alternatives too-negotiating settlements outside courtrooms hence avoiding potential mate finance/time drains involved in trials adhering strictly to Illinois State law regarding attorney conduct & ethical standards across every process step.

One of ours’ key responsibilities is helping clients realistically ascertain compensation they might possibly obtain from their medical malpractice lawsuit-this could take into account both economic damages (medical bills, lost wages) as well as non-economic damages inclusive but not limited to pain and suffering caused by negligent practitioners.

Remember- You are not alone fighting this battle. Carlson Bier’s promise is one of relentless advocacy towards protecting your best interests throughout this taxing journey.

Your response to Medical Malpractice matters crucially-it occupies roles in defining legacies-carrying forward life after being wronged-and justice prevailing eventually over errant practitioners We at Carlson Bier stand prepared waiting eagerly everyday for fulfilling our role alongside victims like yourself enabling transition from nightmares back onto normality-hoping ultimately that no individual should ever have again need for waking up navigating issues such as these.

What’s your next move? Whether searching for opinions or deciding on hiring Counsel clamp delays-procrastination can become enemy number one especially given time constraints posed through Statutory Laws-Speak directly today-to enquire about righteously asserting possible claims and gaining back control over life-defeat silence-opt instead turning nightmares generated out of negligence into victories stemming Physician responsibility accountability.

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.
