About Carlson Bier

Birth Injuries Lawyers in Chebanse Illinois

Birth injuries are a critically serious concern for parents and families that can cause great emotional distress, let alone the potential life-altering consequences to your newborn child. At Carlson Bier, we deeply understand these concerns as leading authorities in personal injury law within Illinois. We’re here to provide you with comprehensive information about birth injuries, their causes, legal implications, and assistance available.

As our primary area of legal specialty is personal injury cases involving birth complications or negligence during childbirth–we’ve established extensive experience proving liability against booming healthcare institutions and offending medical personnel. Birth injuries primarily occur due to medical error or negligence during pregnancy, labor, delivery or shortly after birth.

• Medical neglect may happen when requisite care isn’t administered during critical periods.

• Incorrect application of surgical instruments like forceps or vacuum devices could lead to an infant injury.

• Delays in performing necessary cesarean sections can cause oxygen deprivation which might result in brain damage.

• Improper handling of neonatal hypoxia-anoxia (a state of low or no oxygen supply) may significantly harm the newborn.

Experiencing any such misfortune is undoubtedly unimaginably painful; hence it’s vital to be informed about your rights and potential compensations. That’s where we step forward at Carlson Bier. Our seasoned attorneys meticulously analyze your case’s minutiae – investigating every granular detail from pre-labor preparation by the healthcare facility till post-natal care delivered.

In addition to holding medical professionals accountable for negligence causing such severe harms–there are also instances wherein hospital protocols themselves stand as culprit encompassing lackadaisical administrative oversight, inadequate staffing numbers/ training levels etc., falling under ‘institutional malpractice’. This signifies combating powerful hospitals alongside individual practitioners – a battleground too taxing for already distressed families without specialized legal representation such as ours.

Staying ignorant regarding one’s rightful compensation is no less than added insult upon grave physical injury- thus highlighting importance of acquainting yourself with predominant birth injuries and potential legal recourse.

Some of the more commonly recognized birth injuries include:

• Brachial Plexus Injury – Infants suffering from this condition typically have weakness or loss of movement in one arm which may extend to permanent disability without proper medical intervention.

• Cerebral Palsy – This is a umbrella term for disorders that impact an individual’s ability to move, maintain balance and posture.

• Perinatal Asphyxia– Lack of oxygen flow to the infant often causes brain damage leading to long-term physical and developmental issues.

If your family has experienced such trauma, it’s important not just for emotional recovery but also financially —to pursue rightful compensation. The considerable expenditures associated with accommodations for these birth-injury related disabilities (which may entail future extended care needs well into childhood even key adulthood phases) coupled with punitive damages against wrongdoers— are factors take into account when fighting your case.

The team at Carlson Bier fuses relentless focus on client welfare, commanding presence within courtrooms alongside intricate strategizing strength- ensuring maximum advantageous outcomes. We guide our clients throughout their challenging journey making the legal process smoother by managing all aspects including tedious paperwork/documentation, strategic negotiations till trial representation if required; while staying dedicated to achieving deserved justice following such life-altering adverse events.

We invite you now – arm yourselves with knowledge about your situation. That’s why we’ve prepared an online tool—a calculator designed meticulously given prevailing Illinois Legislation—to estimate realistically potential compensation quantum you might be entitled to given specifics of incurred injury.

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.
