About Carlson Bier

Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers in Amboy Illinois

Understanding the complexities and heartbreak attached to instances of nursing home abuse, Carlson Bier aims to ensure that justice is served and negligence is held accountable. As a personal injury law firm based in Illinois, our main objective is to fight diligently for those who have been caught up in the distressing predicament of nursing home abuse.

Nursing home residents are often among society’s most vulnerable citizens. When they fall victim to abusive or negligent practices within their living facilities, it’s more than just a breach of trust – it’s a violation of their rights as human beings. This form of abuse can take various forms such as physical harm, emotional trauma, financial exploitation and even sexual mistreatment. Carlson Bier takes these violations seriously and seeks to equip you with all the necessary information regarding this distressing issue.

• Physical Abuse: This typically involves injuries like fractures, burns and signs suggestive of restraints or confinement.

• Emotional Abuse: Evidence may comprise changed behavior patterns, depression or withdrawal from usual activities.

• Sexual Abuse: May be expressed through unexplained sexually transmitted diseases or bruising around genital area.

• Financial Exploitation: Clues could include sudden changes in financial status or mysterious disappearance of personal possessions.

It’s crucial that one understands what constitutes an act amounting to nursing home abuse so that timely intervention can prevent further distress to your loved ones.

In Illinois where statutory laws are enforced stringently against these offenses, individuals possessing credible evidence about nursing home abuses can file suit against concerned parties. It becomes pivotal here; selecting an attorney well versed with the ins and outs of personal injury litigation specific to elderly care facility crimes. Why? Because choosing knowledgeable representation can significantly impact the potential outcome of your case.

At Carlson Bier, we offer exemplary legal services born out of years harnessing expertise in litigating cases focused on elder care facilities mismanagement which transcends simply winning lawsuits but restoring dignity back into lives cruelly affected. Be it a case where evidence is clear cut or less obvious, we methodically examine every crumb of information with the determined resolution to pave way for justice.

Our attorneys take time in understanding your unique circumstances before formulating a strategic legal plan. We are not just lawyers; we consider ourselves advocates for the elderly and their loved ones, an approach that allows us to fight passionately on behalf of our clients.

Being sure-footed in Illinois law, we help you understand what your rights are regarding patient care & safety, how complaints should be raised against these institutions and steps to initiate potential litigations.

Remember, it’s not easy going head-to-head against powerful nursing homes and their insurance companies. Fortunately, at Carlson Bier, we’ve made this challenging process easier by assembling experienced personal injury lawyers committed to achieving justice no matter how steep the climb may look.

We understand coming forward about abuse can be difficult. However, taking that first step could prevent others from undergoing similar experiences and bring the perpetrators of such offenses to justice at last. Trust us when we say your story matters – because it really does. Not only will you potentially protect someone else from going through something similar by shedding light on abusive practices but also stand a chance to get compensation you rightfully deserve.

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.
