About Carlson Bier

Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Como Illinois

Medical malpractice is a serious offense, often causing undue harm and suffering to patients who entrust their well-being to healthcare professionals. While designed to help those in need of medical assistance, when negligence emerges within the execution of these duties, individuals may find themselves victims of substantial physical, emotional, and financial detriment. At Carlson Bier, we are committed to serving as staunch defenders of victim rights, particularly specializing in addressing cases related to Medical Malpractice across the state of Illinois.

Understanding Medical Malpractice can be complex which is why at Carlson Bier we aim to simplify this for you – empowering you with knowledge while providing an aggressive front-line defense aimed at holding guilty parties accountable. At its core, Medical Malpractice occurs when a health care provider deviates from established standard norms or “standard of care,” subsequently causing injury due to negligence or ignorance. This may include but is not limited to errors in diagnosis – resulting in treatment delay; procedure mistakes – leading potentially severe consequences; improper medication dosage– which can trigger adverse reactions; and even failure in aftercare – facilitating complications post-treatment.

Equipped with extensive experience and legal expertise, our team understands that there’s no room for ambiguity when dealing with such critical matters. Here are some pivotal factors one should know about claims regarding medical malpractice:

• A claim must have proof of an existing doctor-patient relationship.

• Harm inflicted upon the patient must directly correlate with the provider’s negligence.

• Evidence disclosing how specifically a provider’s actions resulted in the damage

• The severity or extent of harm brought upon drafting the compensation case.

Regardless of whether your issue corresponds strictly within these categories or exists on the peripheries thereof, understanding your situation accurately allows us to devise efficient strategies ensuring your proper representation before authorities concerned.

At Carlson Bier, we believe that empathy melded with professional competence improves our client-counsel relationship immensely; enabling effective communication critical for compiling comprehensive detail necessary for representing your case. We understand the immense distress brought upon by such incidents, aiming to provide dedicated legal guidance throughout this intimidating process.

Navigating through complex litigation procedures while battling emotional stress and health concerns can be an immensely challenging task in itself.

However, we’re aware that every situation is unique; thus, each requires a distinct approach based entirely on its factors. Our seasoned attorneys are diligent in gathering all necessary evidence for building strong cases against negligent providers – meticulously focusing on demonstrating how provider actions deviated from established standards of care resulting adversely affecting patient health.

Overcoming medical malpractice effects may seem overwhelming right now – but remember, you’re not alone in this fight! Make sure to reach out to experienced professionals capable of guiding you rightly – providing comprehensive legal support when you need it most.

At Carlson Bier, we believe that our responsibility isn’t just limited to providing excellent representation – we aim to establish mutually trusting relationships making this arduous journey less daunting for our clients.

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.
