About Carlson Bier

Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Beach Park Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we pride ourselves on our commitment to serving individuals who have sustained personal injuries through medical malpractice. As an Illinois-based law firm specializing in Personal Injury Law, our team of passionate attorneys understands that dealing with situations related to medical negligence can be incredibly overwhelming. Therefore, we strongly believe in equipping you with essential knowledge about Medical Malpractice.

Medical malpractice is a legal area involved when a healthcare provider’s lapse leads to a patient’s injury or death. Despite this broad definition, the specifics will vary significantly depending on varying circumstances. Several types of incidents could constitute Medical Malpractice:

• Misdiagnoses

• Delayed diagnosis

• Surgical errors

• Medication mistakes

When such instances result from negligence or overt misconduct by medical professionals, it empowers the patient – or their family – to file for damages under Personal Injury Law.

However, recognizing the complexity involved in establishing and proving these claims can be crucial. A successful Medical Malpractice lawsuit requires not just evidence of error, but also proof that this error led directly to your injury or harm.

Navigating towards justice demands potent knowledge and exceptional legal expertise as noticeable hurdles often arise throughout the litigation process – from formidable insurance companies outmaneuvering claimants without proper representation to courts demanding high-standard proofs for even the most valid claims.

This is where professional Personal Injury Lawyers like us at Carlson Bier come into play. We help determine if your case qualifies as valid under Illinois State laws while ensuring due diligence in gathering evidence, representing your rights assertively against insurance agencies and relentlessly advocating for you in court if necessary− all using legal strategies backed by years of experience and unsurpassed commitment.

We empathize deeply with how devastating experiencing any form of medical negligence can be − it disrupts lives and causes trauma apart from physical suffering that no amount can ever truly recompense for: Hence, every iota of our efforts aims at ensuring you get justice alongside maximum possible compensation for your tribulations.

Simultaneously, while formulating a personalized legal approach unique to your situation, understanding the statute of limitations in Illinois is critical. In most medical malpractice cases, you have two years from when the malpractice was discovered, or reasonably should have been discovered but no more than four years after when it occurred – unless exceptions apply. These disputes are time-sensitive and require an immediate response: another reason why securing our professional counsel can prove beneficial.

This information isn’t just knowledge: It’s power that goes beyond equipping you to stand tall through challenging times—it empowers decisions about seeking rightful justice and reparation. At Carlson Bier, we hope you find this detailed content insightful as it aims at providing comprehensive guidance regarding Medical Malpractice under Illinois State Law. However, please remember that no written advice can substitute personalized legal counsel based on your unique circumstances.

Remember, every agony suffered deserves acknowledgment − every injustice merits a fight for fairness− and with Carlson Bier by your side; we assure relentlessness in this quest towards the justice you deserve.

If the adversities of medical malpractice have knocked at your door and disrupted your life’s peace— we genuinely share in your pain.

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.
