Unveiling the complex terrain of medical malpractice law requires resolute expertise, and Carlson Bier brings just that. As a premier personal injury law firm based in Illinois, our objective is unequivocal: pursuing justice for clients harmed owing to medical negligence or error.

Owing to the immense trust we put into health professionals’ hands, it’s devastating when that trust is broken through negligence causing significant bodily harm or even fatal consequences. Regrettably, medical malpractice occurs with alarming frequency leading many sufferers down a path trying to seek redress. Utilizing our steadfast dedication coupled with an intricate understanding of Illinois’ nuanced laws, Carlson Bier emerges as inherent allies for victims navigating this distressful period.

Medical malpractice refers broadly to situations where healthcare practitioners deviate from standard care provoking patient harm. This could occur during diagnosis, treatment, aftercare or consequentially health management mishaps. Enumerating some instances illustrating medical malpractice include:

– Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Erroneous diagnoses could lead patients astray; they may receive harmful treatments wrongly diminishing actual condition’s progression.

– Surgical Errors: These involve negligence during surgery like operating on incorrect regions or leaving surgical equipment in a patient.

– Anesthesia Errors: Faulty administration of anesthesia can result in irreversible injuries; this includes failing to appropriately assess a patient’s medical history before surgery.

– Childbirth Injuries: Infants might sustain severe injuries due to negligent prenatal care such as failure to diagnose congenital disabilities or negligent childbirth handling like inadequate usage of forceps.

Nevertheless, it’s crucial stressing – not all unsatisfactory outcomes denote malpractices; proving liability involves demonstrating these critical elements:

– A Patient-doctor Relationship Existed

– The Practitioner was Negligent

– The Practitioner’s Negligence Provoked Injury

– The Wound Resulted in Damages

These multifaceted prerequisites necessitate evaluative proficiency possessed by our esteemed attorneys at Carlson Bier. As leading personal injury lawyers in Illinois, we devise a robust case strategy stemming from rigorous investigation to advance your claim compellingly.

Medical negligence repercussions are profound, straining the victim emotionally, physically and economically. Consequently, Illinois law entitles you to pursue damages related to:

– Medical Expenses: This includes reimbursement for related past medical expenses incurred and projected future treatments.

– Lost Wages: If the malpractice immobilized earning ability or led to job loss, compensation can be sought.

– Pain & Suffering: Harrowing experiences induce trauma garnering compensability.

Remember though – In Illinois, a two-year statute of limitations exists; victims must initiate legal action within this timeframe post injury manifestation discovery or could forever forfeit their right to make claims.

Carlson Bier’s prowess goes beyond individual representation – securing justice transcends it into educating clients about their rights whilst encouraging proactive prevention measures. Sharing some tips on avoiding becoming medical malpractice casualties:

– Knowledge Seeking: Conduct independent research about your condition; collate reference materials for healthcare providers during appointments.

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.
