About Carlson Bier

Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Bourbonnais Illinois

Carlson Bier is a highly regarded personal injury law firm based in Illinois with a seasoned team of dedicated attorneys who are experts in handling Medical Malpractice cases. Under the vast umbrella of personal injury law, medical malpractice stands as one of the unique and often complex specialities. It primarily involves instances where healthcare providers like doctors, nurses or hospitals fail to provide competent and reasonably skilled care causing harm to patients.

As trusted partners to victims of such injustice, our aim at Carlson Bier is multi-faceted. Firstly, we prioritize conveying accurate, comprehensive and digestible information about the intricacies involved in these kinds of legal proceedings. When it comes to medical malpractice matters, understanding your rights as a patient is paramount. This essentially refers to your entitlement to receive standard medical care across all contexts. Any deviation from this may justify a medical malpractice lawsuit with plausible scenarios including misdiagnosis, surgical errors, incorrect medication dosing or maternal/post-partum injuries among others.

We also ensure highlighting that each state has distinctive laws pertaining to medical malpractice lawsuits which determine whether potential plaintiffs are eligible for compensation payouts; In Illinois specifically:

• Plaintiffs must demonstrate “injury” resulted due to healthcare provider’s negligence

• Within two years from when plaintiff discovered/should have discovered the issue but not exceeding four years from when issue occurred.

• In case of minors under 18 years old, an eight-year limit applies but is unenforceable after they turn 22.

Our goal-oriented approach sees us put extreme effort into establishing fault on part of the health care provider and proving causality between their negligence and resulting damages suffered by you. Our case strategy acknowledges allows no stone unturned – seeking out witness testimonies if available, cross verifying every document shred provided as evidence and evaluating extent/severity of injuries sustained through independent medical verification.

The experienced attorneys at Carlson Bier emphasize completely demystifying any complexity arising during medical malpractice lawsuit proceedings. They ensure helping you understand your rights better, guiding you step-by-step through the exhaustive paperwork involved and functioning as fierce advocates for your legal rights within courtrooms.

That said, venturing into a lawsuit especially of this kind isn’t an easy decision. It is not only time-intensive but also emotionally challenging and hence we make every effort to be transparent about potential outcomes right from the onset. Determining case worth varies greatly based on factors such as extent of injury resulting from negligence, impact of it on life quality (loss of income/wages), expected future medical expenses among other elements.

If any situation arises where you suspect receiving substandard care creating noticeable negative impact on health or lifestyle leading to severe physical/mental turmoil; rest assured that Carlson Bier attorneys stand ready to help victims trigger necessary legal recourse against healthcare providers responsible.

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.
