About Carlson Bier

Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers in Carlock Illinois

Personal injury law is complex and multifaceted, but at its core lies the protection of individuals from harm done by others’ negligence. At Carlson Bier, our dedication to upholding this cornerstone of justice manifests clearly in our diligent advocacy for victims of Nursing Home Abuse. We spearhead this fight right here in Illinois, championing the rights and dignity of our state’s most vulnerable residents – those within nursing home facilities.

Nursing home abuse takes many forms, not all immediately obvious. Awareness is a vital weapon against such wrongdoings, so it’s important that loved ones know what constitutes abuse or neglect. Often overlooked signs may include sudden weight loss, unexplained bruises or wounds, frequent infections, poor personal hygiene or unusually withdrawn behavior.

Inadequate staffing often facilitates these abuses. Large-scale studies have illustrated a direct proportionality between hours of care provided per resident and overall quality of care – underscoring that neglect can be systemic and pervasive rather than sporadic or incidental misconduct.

What makes Carlson Bier stand out from other personal injury lawyers is our unwavering commitment to each case we handle:

-We prioritize your concerns: Our approach centers around understanding your unique situation comprehensively so we can address your specific needs and worries.

– Strategic litigation: Each case unfolds differently. By meticulously studying every detail surrounding your circumstance we develop strategic legal action plans designed to gain optimal outcomes.

– Compassionate Service: We recognize the emotional trauma that accompanies situations like nursing home abuse which is why we strive to deliver attentive and compassionate representation throughout the legal process.

Illinois laws provide powerful recourse for victims–but without proper guidance navigating these laws becomes daunting. There are detailed regulations on reporting incidents, timelines for filing lawsuits as well as complicated requirements for evidence submission which layman could find perplexing.

Despite these challenges – fear not! The attorneys at Carlson Bier specialize in just such scenarios, ensuring our clients receive their deserved compensation as seamlessly and swiftly as possible.

Moreover, with the Illinois Nursing Home Care Act, nursing home residents are granted extensive legal protections, including maintaining their personal possessions; freedom from abuse and neglect; fair treatment regardless of race, religion or nationality among others. Understanding these protections is crucial as they form the bedrock for our legal action strategies – fighting not simply on your behalf but in your name – advocating firmly for justice you deserve!

While many attorneys have a general grasp of personal injury law, nursing home abuse cases require a unique depth of knowledge and sensitiveness. That’s precisely what Carlson Bier offers–expertise honed through years of representing victims coupled with our passion towards making an impactful difference.

Understanding that financial worries often compound the trauma faced by victims we operate on a contingency basis–which means you owe us nothing unless we secure a settlement! That’s right! No legal bills while your case is pending…and should there be no recovery after suit – You owe us NOTHING!

It’s about time you took back control! Regaining power over such exhausting predicaments begins with recouping rightful compensation to alleviate immediate concerns followed by ensuring accountability for those at fault hence reducing repeat violations.

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.
