About Carlson Bier

Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers in East Dubuque Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we proudly serve as Illinois’s preeminent personal injury law firm, offering real solutions for victims of Nursing Home Abuse. It is our mission to educate and empower the public about the hidden epidemic of elder abuse in nursing homes. Vigilance begins with awareness; only then can we combat this grave issue together.

Nursing home abuse often goes unreported due to various reasons such as fear, lack of knowledge or even close tie relationships with perpetrators. We provide expert guidance on how you can identify signs of neglect or physical, emotional and financial exploitation faced by your elderly loved ones.

Nursing home abuse may manifest itself in several ways:

– Physical Abuse: Look out for unexplained bruises, cuts or burns.

– Emotional Abuse: The victim might exhibit sudden behavioral changes or seem frightened around certain individuals.

– Financial Exploitation: Monitor for unauthorized transactions on bank statements.

A crucial part of addressing nursing home mistreatment is understanding residents’ rights under state legislation. In Illinois, laws explicitly grant essential protections to elderly individuals residing in these institutions—protections that guarantee their right to be free from any form of abuse or neglect.

As a trusted resource fighting against nursing home injustice in Illinois, we at Carlson Bier effectively leverage the power vested by these laws to advocate for aggrieved parties efficiently. We evaluate every case’s distinct circumstances before moving forward with a strategic legal plan intended to hold accountable those entities liable for causing harm made towards innocent senior citizens entrusted under their care.

We understand how difficult it can be when family members are subjected to unethical treatment within some establishments so revered for providing utmost care and support – places where they should feel secure above all else. And it’s heartbreaking realizing that these instances could occur in facilities supposedly established upon principles encompassing empathy and humanity.

Furthermore, we also recognize the challenge lies beyond just identifying potential indicators of abuse but extends more significantly – grappling emotionally charged circumstances. Carlson Bier highly regards the emotional well-being of our valued clients; therefore, we pledge to provide utmost professionalism while strategically navigating through the complexities involved in prosecuting elder abuse cases.

Through years of practice dedicated exclusively towards safeguarding victims of personal injury, we stand out by delivering comprehensive assistance calibrated to meet your specific needs: from educating about nursing home failings to litigation proceedings.

Our proficiency is evidenced not only within the courtroom but also just as prominently outside it – a consequence of our dedication uplifting vulnerable individuals who’ve had their trust broken tragically and restoration towards situations that even vaguely resemble their previous state before such unfortunate events occurred.

At Carlson Bier, protecting your loved ones’ rights against despicable activities committed within care homes shapes the very essence fueling our professional drive. Advocating for justice denotes one fundamental mission guiding us when shouldering responsibilities entrusted unto our firm: striving endlessly until those responsible are held legal accountability and ensuring no further harm falls upon those affected.

As you consider ways to protect elderly family members from becoming future statistics, remember that unpunished crimes often repeat themselves — sadly meriting many cases underreported. Hence joining efforts bringing justice not merely benefits individual families directly impacted but expands wider into confronting systemic issues surrounding elder safety within care institutions comprehensively.

Navigating this legally complex landscape can be an enervating task taken single-handedly due to the technicalities tied intricately ending up overwhelming residents victimized harshly or their distressed loved ones seeking retribution rightfully on behalf. Partner with us at Carlson Bier for competent guidance and relentless representation aimed at securing compensation needed covering additional medical expenses arisen consequently or lost income replacement resulting from spending extended durations containing caused damages.

Remember – Justice denied anywhere diminishes justice everywhere! So wait no more — Move past ads promising attractively swift settlements without offering real solutions catered specifically addressing severe concerns arising from traumatic nursing home incidents endured distressingly by innocent senior lives resting trustfully within such institutions.

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.
