About Carlson Bier

Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Tilden Illinois

Carlson Bier is a prominent law firm based in Illinois, with a specialization in personal injury cases. Our expertise and focus include Medical Malpractice – an area of legal practice that holds healthcare providers accountable for negligence that leads to patient harm or death. When you entrust your life or health to medical professionals, the expectation is competent care and attention. Regrettably, this isn’t always what patients receive.

Medical malpractice involves multiple factors deserving comprehensive understanding. By definition, it centers around substandard treatment from healthcare providers that results in harm to the patient. This could occur due to various reasons such as incorrect diagnosis, prescription errors, surgical mishaps, poor aftercare or inadequate follow-up procedures.

In order to have a successful claim for medical malpractice:

– There must have been a violation of the standard of care: Legallyrecognized standards exist in medicine regarding how similar situations should be handled by healthcare professionals. If their actions deviate from these benchmarks leading to patient harm, there’s valid potential for a lawsuit.

– An injury was caused by negligence: Claimants need to prove they were harmed directly due to the practitioner’s negligence rather than pre-existing conditions. Negligence alone without any ensuing damage is not substantial grounds for a case.

– The injury resulted in significant damage: Establishing massive losses such as severe pain, considerable loss of income and enduring hardship garners effective compensation recoveries.

The Carlson Bier team understands the trauma associated with being victimized by trusted health practitioners which magnifies your suffering and induces financial strain. We strive diligently on every client’s behalf ensuring they access justice while educating them on each step involved within their lawsuits’ trajectory.

Illinois law states specific time limits known as Statutes of Limitations within which one has to take legal action against accused parties; generally two years from when one knew about (or reasonably ought to have discovered) inflicted injuries from malpractice.. A knowledgeable legal partner like Carlson Bier is crucial to comprehensively understanding these timelines, and necessary procedures enhancing your case’s chances of success.

Alongside time-sensitive considerations, building a substantial medical malpractice claim involves expert opinion. In Illinois law, an affidavit of merit (supported by health professional’s attestations) that establishes healthcare provider’s breveach of the standard care ought to accompany filling of lawsuits. Our seasoned team liaises with relevant experts ensuring thorough preparation conducive for triumph in your claim.

Medical malpractice claims are typically complex often involving heavyweight insurance corporations with massive resources at their disposal. Engaging experienced attorneys such as Carlson Bier shifts bargaining power dynamics ultimately leading to favorable outcomes whether through negotiations or full-scale trial proceedings.

Carlson Bier further understands victims’ financial constrains which fears them from seeking legal redress; thus, we offer contingency fee agreements where our payment emanates only from successful compensation recoveries—no upfront fees or out-of-pocket costs required.

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.

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.
