About Carlson Bier

Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Carrollton Illinois

Medical malpractice is often a complex issue faced by many patients across Illinois. Here at Carlson Bier, we advocate for the rights of victims of medical negligence, aiming to provide the highest degree of professional legal advice and representation. We understand that dealing with medical malpractice can be both emotionally challenging and legally perplexing, that’s why our experienced team stands ready to guide you through every step of the process.

In ensuring that you have sound knowledge about medical malpractice, clarity about the term itself becomes critical. Medical malpractice essentially refers to a situation where a healthcare practitioner fails to adhere to recognized professional standards of medical care, consequently causing injury or harm to their patient.

A suit pertaining to medical malpractice may arise due to diagnostic errors like faulty interpretation of test results, delayed diagnosis leading to an ailment worsening, or even misdiagnosis. Instances involving surgical mistakes such as wrong-site surgery or leaving surgical instruments inside a person’s body also fall under this category. Negligent prenatal care equally epitomizes potential grounds for claiming medical malpractice.

* Inadequately monitored medication effects

* Failure in providing appropriate aftercare post-procedure

* Provision of incorrect medication dosage

These are more instances which might result in this type of lawsuit.

At Carlson Bier, our skilled attorneys conduct thorough investigations corroborating each claim with substantial evidence before filing your case. This rigorous probe typically involves consultations with industry experts who help substantiate allegations regarding standard-of-care violations.

However, it is important for victims considering pursuing a lawsuit to recognize some central tenets:

* Provable Breach: It becomes paramount that you establish not only that a healthcare provider made an error but also convincingly present how their handling markedly deviated from expected competent practice.

* Directly Linked Injury: Establish beyond reasonable doubt that your injury directly resulted from claimed negligence.

* Damages Occurred: Concrete evidence illustrating incurred damages- which could span physical pain, mental anguish, financial hardship due to additional medical bills or loss of earning capability- as a direct consequence of that injury.

It is our commitment here at Carlson Bier, to ensure you comprehend these nuanced aspects through simplified and straightforward guidance. We staunchly believe in the right of every individual to be sufficiently educated about their legal options before embarking on any litigation journey.

Navigating Illinois laws pertaining to medical malpractice can indeed seem like an uphill battle but rest assured that the expert team at Carlson Bier is equipped with the necessary knowledge and practical experience. In light of Pope v. The Country Mutual Insurance Company legislation, for instance, we guide clients to ensure your case satisfies prerequisites such as obtaining certificates from relevant medical experts verifying breaches occurred within the provided care received.

We place high emphasis on timely action and strive towards quick resolution wherever possible given Illinois’ two-year statute of limitations after discovering harm caused by malpractice according to 735 ILCS 5/13-212(a).

With analytical prowess rooted in years of successful claims under our belt, Carlson Bier’s diligent attorneys endeavor tirelessly to secure favorable outcomes. However daunting your struggle may appear initially, do remember that understanding and justice are not far beyond reach with us in your corner.

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.
