About Carlson Bier

Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Marissa Illinois

At the esteemed law firm of Carlson Bier, we are your staunch legal allies in the realm of personal injury cases. We’re based in Illinois and specialize in Medical Malpractice, a niche area that requires extensive knowledge, wisdom and experience to handle effectively. Misdiagnosis or negligence by healthcare professionals can lead to tragic consequences, often leaving patients scarred for life both physically and emotionally.

Medical malpractice is not only about receiving poor medical care. It’s about doctors or healthcare providers failing their professional obligation towards you; it’s about them deviating from established norms while evaluating, diagnosing or treating you. As attorneys with an eminent track record in managing such complex cases at Carlson Bier, we’ve seen victims suffer as a result of surgical errors, birth injuries, pharmacy mistakes and failure to diagnose grave illnesses like cancer.

Navigating through these diverse scenarios involves:

• Identifying breach of medical standard: We ascertain if there were clear breaches where the practitioner did not adhere to the accepted medical standards.

• Proving ’cause and effect’: We strive to demonstrate how specifically the doctor’s actions (or lack thereof) directly caused harm to you.

• Assessment of damage: Quantifying the harm done is crucial – this could be physical pain, mental anguish or financial loss.

When partnering with us at Carlson Bier for your medical malpractice case, we promise to leverage our vast expertise within this labyrinthine legal sphere that goes beyond simple understanding. Our commitment lies in conducting deep-dive investigations, obtaining key testimony from reputed experts and ensuring comprehensive argument presentation before juries. Not stopping merely at procuring compensations for incurred medical expenses; we pull all stops when pursuing justice on behalf of our clients including compensation for lost future earnings due to disability onset following mishandled treatment.

The importance of approaching a dedicated attorney who comprehends intricate aspects involved cannot be overstated when dealing with such civil lawsuits. Building a successful claim necessitates a meticulous recreation of events and uncovering evidence to bring the guilty under scrutiny. Medical malpractice cases are not just about legalities, but require an understanding of medical intricacies too. This unique blend of law with medicine is our forte at Carlson Bier.

While we take great pride in our proficiency in handling personal injury cases, it’s vital to clarify that our presence is throughout Illinois, though not specifically Marissa – as per state laws on advertising norms for legal entities. We stand by transparency in every facet of our operations.

If you’ve experienced subpar treatment leading to undue harm at the hands of a healthcare professional, don’t remain silent. Partner with us; let us advocate emphatically for your rights and entitlements under Illinois laws. At stake could be more than reimbursement or damages compensation – this could potentially involve bringing harmful practices under limelight and contributing towards better regulation within the healthcare sector to ensure others don’t get subjected to similar harrowing experiences as yours.

In closing, it’s important for victims of medical malpractice to remember they don’t have to endure their miseries alone or suffer silently due to negligence perpetrated by entrusted care providers who fail them sadly when needed the most. As a premier team of attorneys at Carlson Bier, we’re here – ready and equipped – offering superior representation skills laden with empathy and professionalism aimed at safeguarding victim’s rights while pursuing justice fiercely.

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)

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.
