About Carlson Bier

Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers in Casey Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we understand the immense trust placed in nursing homes and care facilities to look after our aging loved ones. Regrettably, instances of abuse within such establishments are growing at an alarming rate across Illinois – a reality that propels our commitment as personal injury attorneys.

Nursing Home Abuse is not just physical harm; it covers a broad spectrum including emotional abuse, sexual misconduct, exploitation, neglect and abandonment. Each form comes with its own distressing symptoms and indicators:

• Unexplained injuries or bruises may signal physical abuse.

• Rapid weight loss or gain and deteriorated health conditions can indicate neglect.

• Emotional shifts like mood swings or anxiety might hint at emotional maltreatment.

• A sudden change in finances could reveal exploitation.

All these signs require immediate attention because the rights of your family members should never be compromised.

Of paramount importance in this fight against Nursing Home Abuse is arming yourself with knowledge about legal implications. In Illinois, laws mandate stringent upkeep standards for long-term care facilities under the Nursing Home Care Act (210 ILCS 45). If proven guilty of violation resulting in injury or illness to residents, these facilities can be held legally accountable. Likewise federal laws such as Elder Justice Act (EJA) put forth by U.S Government rally around reducing elder mistreatment by enhancing inspection services and supplying tools/resources aimed at eliminating senior citizen abuse.

Even though regulations exist on paper for safeguarding seniors’ welfare, real-world enforcement often falls short due to lack of visibility on how nursing home operations transpire day-to-day – consequently leading to slippery loopholes that some caretakers exploit.

As personal injury lawyers who have handled numerous cases pertaining to elder abuse, Carlson Bier deploys our wide-ranging experience towards securing justice for your wronged loved ones. We tirelessly investigate each case from all angles; scrutinizing medical records; analyzing witness testimonies; liaising with healthcare professionals & experts unraveling evidentiary threads; and assembling a compelling case to hold perpetrators accountable. From the initial consultation through every step of pursuing your claim, we work with an unwavering dedication for justice.

Your part in this collaborative quest involves prompt action to report anything unusual or suspicious affecting your loved one’s well-being. Timely reporting not only aids immediate resolution, but also stymies establishment negligence from festering unnoticed. Not sure if what you are noticing qualifies as abuse? We at Carlson Bier are here to help make sense out of those uncertainties.

We stand against Nursing Home Abuse out of respect for humanity and designated caregivers’ responsibilities being misused – knowing that winnable cases often remain unchallenged due to simple unawareness within victims’ families that they can take legal recourse. It’s important to remember that these personal injury lawsuits do more than seeking compensation – crucially, they act as instruments forcing supervisory bodies into enforcing stricter standards across all nursing homes.

Justice starts with awareness and takes form with appropriate legal action. Charting this course is fraught with complexities – which is where our expertise comes into picture! Taking on institutions might seem daunting, but together we can seek the justice that your elderly family member deserves.

Embarking upon this journey needs just one click from you – our dedicated team at Carlson Bier awaits on the other side, equipped and ready. Offering free consultations allows us an opportunity to understand your unique circumstances further so we can tailor our approach suitably. Value lies not merely in recovering compensations – it resides predominantly in ensuring safety of our aging population and restoring dignity taken away due to uncaring actions.

Click below NOW to get started by getting a gauge on how much your case could potentially be worth. Remember: You have not just legal rights but moral duty towards standing up for aged loved ones who spent their best years caring for us while we grew up!

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.
