About Carlson Bier

Birth Injuries Lawyers in Bartelso Illinois

At Carlson Bier, a distinguished personal injury attorney group in Illinois, we understand very well that birth injuries are highly complex legal issues that require meticulous and knowledgeable handling. Your trust in us empowers our team of competent lawyers to work relentlessly towards securing the best end results for you.

Birth injuries occur during childbirth due to medical or healthcare negligence and they can lead to long-term physical and emotional complications for the child as well as the parents. Some common forms include Cerebral Palsy, Brachial Plexus Injuries (Erb’s palsy), Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE), developmental delays, and wrongful death among others.

• Cerebral palsy may arise when an infant doesn’t receive enough oxygen during delivery.

• Brain damage resulting from HIE could occur if a caretaker unsuccessfully monitors fetal distress.

• Erb’s palsy manifests itself with weakness or loss of motion in arm due to nerve damage during delivery.

• Developmental delays could signify brain injury too late only after several years.

When your bundle of joy is subjected to such grievous harm, it is only natural that you want justice served. That’s where Carlson Bier steps in – aiming to secure compensation for not merely medical expenses but also future care requirements, pain and suffering endured by the child as well as parents’ mental anguish owing to dealings with such adversity.

Navigating through birth injury lawsuits can be complex mainly because proving healthcare negligence necessitates thorough understanding of both law and medicine. The law requires demonstrating beyond dispute that the doctors deviated from generally accepted standards which directly led caused the injury – this is no small feat requiring immense legal finesse.

Anyone accused of causing a birth injury will likely have aggressive defense representation; it becomes rather critical that you possess equally forceful skilled litigation on your side. At Carlson Bier, we relish taking on formidable opposition because achieving justice for aggrieved clients remains the driving force behind our diligent practice.

Moreover, Illinois’s statute of limitations necessitates that personal injury lawsuits be filed inside a two-year window from the time the injury came to light. This makes it notably important to engage legal aid quickly and begin collating evidence. Our attorneys at Carlson Bier are particularly proficient in rapid response and quick action – vital during such critical period of your case.

We empathize with parents dealing with heartbreaking reality of birth injuries; it is traumatic to witness your little one suffering due to someone else’s mistake. And we wholeheartedly pledge to expend every resource within our disposal towards establishing culpability and securing rightful compensation for your family – so you can focus on nurturing your child without financial concerns clouding your mind.

Hiring the right legal representation can spell difference between a bare minimum settlement or comprehensive lifetime assistance that duly covers current as well future needs of an afflicted child. Trust our seasoned litigators at Carlson Bier who will deliver unmatched advocacy, fierce courtroom argumentation, and exemplary client service while handling each case with utmost sensitivity it deserves.

While words can offer solace, what truly matters is action taken towards redressal of wrongs inflicted so unjustly upon innocent lives.

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)

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.
