About Carlson Bier

Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers in Ashburn Illinois

At Carlson Bier, our Illinois-based legal team specializes in representing victims of Nursing Home Abuse. We passionately believe everyone deserves dignity and respect, especially the elderly. Unfortunately, nursing home abuse is a widespread problem affecting thousands of families each year. Our seasoned personal injury attorneys are committed to holding negligent nursing homes accountable.

Nursing home abuse encompasses various reprehensible actions that inflict physical harm or emotional distress on residents. This may include neglecting their basic needs such as food, water, personal hygiene; causing intentional physical harm; berating or ignoring them; isolating them from others; exploiting their finances among other detrimental behaviors.

Remember these key points:

– You have recourse: When you suspect your loved ones are suffering from nursing home abuse taking immediate action is vital.

– Rights of Residents: The 1987 Nursing Home Reform Act upholds residents’ rights to be free from abuse, treated with dignity and access necessary medical care.

– Evidence Matters: Document instances of suspected abuse can enhance the strength of your case.

Our compassionate lawyers understand how overwhelming this situation can be. To help you navigate through this difficult period we handle all aspects of your case – ensuring the incidents are reported appropriately, scrutinizing medical records for proof and effectively prosecuting perpetrators to bring justice for elders mistreated by caretakers they trusted.

Special attention should also be given to safeguard against what’s termed as ‘Hidden Nursing Home Abuse’. Sometimes signs may not be immediately obvious like sudden changes in behavior or new found anxiety around certain caregivers which might serve as silent indicators warranting profound exploration.

Carlson Bier offers a thorough approach rooted in keen investigation:

– Understanding context: Every case begins with patiently listening to clients’ concerns leading us to paint an accurate picture of the current circumstances.

– Comprehensive evidence gathering: Relying on aesthetic observation might lead investigations astray hence our team emphasizes coupling various crucial elements together eg. shift patterns coinciding repetitive injuries etc.

– Tactful litigation: Confronting abusive institutions requires far-thinking strategy. Our aggressive legal tactics force the nursing home to answer for its actions in a court of law.

Ensuring your loved one is safe must be your top priority. If you suspect abuse, the elderly person should be removed from that environment and taken to a safe place immediately. The next step would be reporting suspected abuse to local law enforcement officials or adult protective services who can step in if immediate danger is apparent.

At Carlson Bier, we understand that filing a lawsuit against those responsible may also help prevent future abuses from taking place. Let our legally proficient team fight for justice while delivering closure so dreadfully needed by victims and their dear ones.

Client comfort transcends every aspect of our service at Carlson Bier including finances hence our charges are based on contingency; meaning, we only get paid when we win your case – thus minimizing financial risk to clients throughout their pursuit of rightful justice.

Navigating through these tough situations might seem intimidating but with resilient support system that is Carlson Bier fighting for you brings hope where despair looms large restoring faith within justice system one victorious case at a time.

Before closing, consider this pressing question – ‘How much compensation could you expect as an outcome?’ Each case is unique, suffering incurred incalculable but factors such as medical expenses, compensation for pain and the emotional distress suffered due to the negligence play vital roles determining potential settlements remember fellow victims have been remunerated anywhere between few thousand dollars up till multi-million dollar verdicts upon winning such cases.

Guided by dogged determination providing exceptional yet compassionate representation Carlson Bier assiduously litigates all aspects pertaining Nursing Home Abuse employing nuanced strategies targeting maximum possible compensation accrual benefiting victim families vastly relieving financial burdens simultaneously setting strong deterrents staving off future occurrences of similar nature allowing us together make powerful differences securing old-age sanctity perpetually institutionalized.

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)

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.
