About Carlson Bier

Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Bloomington Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we specialize in personal injury cases – one particular sphere of our extensive line of legal services is Medical Malpractice. With a profound understanding of the intricate laws surrounding medical malpractice, our attorneys possess substantial experience that aids them to successfully represent clients who have suffered due to such instances.

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standards within their profession, causing injury or harm to patients. This duty of care breach can stem from numerous situations including misdiagnosis, surgical errors, prescription mistakes, or even fostering improper patient relationships. The consequences are often life-altering injuries or worse yet, fatal outcomes. In such scenarios, you may be legally entitled to claim damages for your loss and suffering.

• Misdiagnosis should not be considered lightly as it could force you into unnecessary treatments while your actual condition continues to worsen.

• Surgical errors comprise an entirely different facet of medical negligence where surgeries undertaken on an incorrect body part could lead to irreversible impairment.

• Prescription mistakes callously expose you to harmful side effects that could pave way for a cascade of medical issues down the line.

Navigating these challenges requires enormous emotional strength coupled with a solid understanding of Illinois statutes related to medical malpractice which is followed by identifying evidence and expert testimonies – all within tight deadlines pronounced by statute limitations.

The complex twists and turns associated with establishing proof doesn’t end here; indeed legal terms like ‘contributory negligence’, ‘standard lawsuit procedure’, ‘economic vs non-economic damages’ warrant intensive comprehension – this allows correct perusal of what remedies & compensation can lawfully be availed through Illinois courts.

In any case demonstrating causation i.e., linking healthcare provider’s actions directly to your circumstance forms the crux – it’s certainly not something as straightforward as proving tax fraud! Be assured though; at Carlson Bier every minutia is meticulously examined via several lenses before deciding upon action plans fitting each unique set of circumstances.

Our competent legal team, with their meticulous strategy and diligent gathering of information, ensures that your case revolves around solid proofs rather than sheer chances. We are equipped to help you through the dense terrain of medical malpractice laws even if it requires taking on enormous hospital systems or insurance companies.

In each leg of the journey – handling paperwork, deciphering jargon or negotiating settlements – Carlson Bier will stand shoulder-to-shoulder backed by steadfast commitment to uphold your rights with due diligence each step of the way.

We understand that seeking justice for the wide-ranging consequences dealt by medical negligence can be overwhelming causing serious financial & emotional strain. On top of that tackling unscrupulous defense attorneys aiming solely at discrediting plaintiff’s claims is no joy ride. Rest assured; we will unstintingly advocate for securing rightful compensation addressing all incurred losses inclusive future implications as well.

Remember Carlson Bier has built an esteemed reputation in Illinois from decades long untiring dedication towards Plaintiff’s cause – persistently ensuring gross negligence doesn’t go unpunished especially when inflicted by those enlisted with upholding health safety norms.

Facing this challenging path ahead necessitates professional advice, representation and guidance – thus capacitating victims to recover while we handle litigation nuances so they can focus on what matters most: recovering mentally & physically.

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.
