About Carlson Bier

Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Belvidere Illinois

Welcome to Carlson Bier, a reputable Illinois-based personal injury law firm with vast experience and formidable skills. We are proficient in multiple facets of the field, but particularly specialize in Medical Malpractice Law—an area frequently misunderstood requiring adept navigation only skilled attorneys can provide.

Medical malpractice is perceived when there is detrimental negligence by health care providers such as doctors, nurses, or hospital workers resulting in harm to patients. These injuries may occur from incorrect diagnosis, after surgery complications or intervention errors, inadequate treatment management as well as potential damage during childbirth and more.

Here at Carlson Bier, we consistently emphasize the importance of understanding your rights if you or a loved one suffers from medical malpractice. Here are some key facts you should have clarity on:

• Every victim has legal entitlements: As an aggrieved party, you possess the right to claim compensation for medical expenses incurred due to malpractices of healthcare professionals.

• Legal timelines must be heeded: In Illinois specifically, a statute of limitations restricts the time frame within which one must file a lawsuit following incidents suspected as medical malpractice.

• Medical testimonials are valuable proofs: At times it’s mandatory for an expert witness (another physician often) to substantiate that accepted medical standards were indeed violated leading possibly to your current predicament.

We encourage victims not only to bravely step forward but also employ qualified assistance like our team here at Carlson Bier. Acquiring knowledgeable representation could significantly improve the likelihood of securing deserved reparations. To elaborate further:

• Rigorous and profound case investigation: Our skilled practitioners’ll meticulously analyse every aspect of your situation compiling enough evidence bolstering claims towards achieving optimal outcomes.

• Strategic negotiation tactics: On many occasions out-of-court settlements get proposed saving involved parties from prolonged procedures – having seasoned negotiators in your corner helps substantially while navigating these complex discussions.

• Persuasive presence through court proceedings: In scenarios necessitating trials, professional lawyers’ seasoned advocacy can prove instrumental in convincing judges or juries of your victimhood and justly deserving compensations.

Apart from positive past client testimonials, decades of collective experience, an unwavering dedication to justice, Carlson Bier also sets itself apart by highlighting open communication. We believe that our clients mustn’t just be informed but wholly comprehend their individual case specifics empowering them to make effective decisions.

Maintaining this commitment, we wish to emphasize uncompromised transparency when associating with us – evident through activities like providing regular case updates or unhesitatingly answering any questiions you may have; all aimed at creating a comfortable environment promoting collaboration while fighting for your due recovery.

There’s nothing more gratifying than seeing those wronged protected under the law with their losses righted despite challenging circumstances—something we endeavor tirelessly to achieve every day. One way towards this end is identifying what potential compensation might look like for you which could include medical expenses reimbursement, lost wages claims due to inability working post-injury, as well as punitive damages penalizing wrongful parties involved.

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.
