About Carlson Bier

Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Carpentersville Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we specialize in championing for justice on behalf of victims who have suffered due to the negligence of others, particularly in the area of medical malpractice. As a renowned personal injury law firm based in Illinois, our legal expertise is backed by stringent professional ethics and our unwavering commitment to seeking maximum compensation for our clients.

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to adhere to the established standard of care while treating a patient, resulting in harm or injuries. It encompasses various situations such as incorrect diagnoses, surgical errors, birth injuries, improper treatment protocol procedures, lackadaisical postoperative follow-ups and so much more. Understanding medical malpractice can be challenging without the help of proficient attorneys; that’s why at Carlson Bier we take pride in sharing this knowledge with you – educating you about your rights under Illinois law.

• A pivotal element within a medical malpractice claim is recognizing negligent conduct. Simply put, if a competent healthcare provider would not have taken the same actions under similar circumstances and their negligent action resulted in harm or death then it forms grounds for filing a claim.

• Another key factor is causation i.e., being able to demonstrate that through direct actions or omissions made by the physician contributed significantly towards worsened health conditions.

• Furthermore, evidence showing how these mishaps directly lead towards substantial physical pain, mental anguish or economic hardship should also be presented.

Navigating through this process alone can be daunting; an intricate weave of testimonies need to carefully crafted – consisting primarily from expert witnesses capable enough illustrating concise points regarding faulty conduct performed by those supposedly held accountable for ensuring your wellbeing.

Carlson Bier believes paramount importance lies in designing tailor-made legal strategies for handling every case individually but vigorously whilst simultaneously making certain each client feels completely understood & valued right throughout this admittedly difficult journey ahead. Our debrief sessions are meticulous until no stone remains unturned before framing comprehensive lawsuits which not only hold errant healthcare responsibilities to accountability but also reinforce the normative standards which should be maintained at all times within this sector.

Moreover, ensuring adequate compensation dramatically extends beyond simply covering medical expenses. Many victims of malpractice find themselves needing time off work leading to lost wages or worse still they can no longer perform their job duties. In more serious circumstances, life-care expenses or wrongful death claims may even come into play through grieving families seeking closure and justice for a loved one lost too soon because of egregious negligence.

At Carlson Bier, we take an emphatic approach when viewing your case as we understand that each individual’s experience is unique. Therefore, while the monetary settlement can never truly erase the harm and suffering you’ve gone through, it does provide a sense of justice being served along with some much-needed financial relief. Furthermore, such successful lawsuits invoke meaningful change within our healthcare system.

Ultimately our aim remains solid and steadfast: To tirelessly advocate for those whose trust in medical professionals has been shattered due to malpractice – Your injuries are personal; so is our representation!

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.
