About Carlson Bier

Birth Injuries Lawyers in Cowden Illinois

At Carlson Bier, a premier law firm headquartered in the heartland of Illinois, we specialize in providing exceptional legal counsel for clients who have been victims of birth injuries. Understanding the complexities and intricacies surrounding birth injury cases is central to our advocacy work, ensuring that every case is approached with the meticulous attention and diligence it deserves.

Birth injuries are devastating events that can significantly impact the life of an infant. They often result from medical malpractice or negligence during pregnancy, labor, delivery or even immediately after birth. These damages can be both physical–such as fractures, bruises, or nerve damage; and neurological—like cerebral palsy or hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), which refers to brain damage caused by lack of oxygen.

At Carlson Bier:

• We deeply understand the nuances of birth injuries

• Offer compassionate representation for our clients

• Strive relentlessly to fight for you and your family’s rights

• Learn everything about you so that we can tell your story

Comprehensively aware about the emotional toll such a situation takes on families affected by tragic birth occurrences, we are committed not only to seeking monetary compensation but also advocating for justice while restoring hope into their lives through our expert legal guidance.

To further elucidate this multifaceted area- foreseeing medical negligence before it happens remains elusive due to its unpredictable nature. Yet uncovering markers post occurrence like -improper use of hospital equipment during delivery; failure to monitor fetal distress, delays in ordering a medically necessary C-section; mishandling babies immediately after birth resulting in physical harm- play instrumental roles towards assigning liability leading strong foundation towards securing rightful compensatory remuneration.

Moreover,

• We legally establish proof connecting alleged act of carelessness directly causing undue suffering.

• Quantify accrued economic losses-from allied healthcare costs to loss or reduction in parental income generation capacities.

• Calculate non-economic damages experienced particularly parents’ pain and anguish dealing with the aftermath of their baby’s afflictive event.

Navigating this intricate legal arena can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re grappling with the aftermath of a birth injury. That’s where we step in – at Carlson Bier, our expertise in personal injury law hands us the tools to tackle each case skillfully. Our trusted attorneys evaluate every detail, compile compelling evidence, and litigate vehemently for maximum compensation.

Ultimately,

• Our approach exhibits empathetic understanding regarding your circumstances.

• We inform you about every step illuminating the journey ahead reducing uncertainties.

• Collaboratively develop strategies providing multipronged solutions aimed towards attaining justice and compensations you deserve.

Remember that time is remarkably important as Illinois’ statute of limitations delivers strict deadlines post which litigation becomes impermissible by state law. Therefore, swift action assures benefitting from timely potential remedies before it recedes beyond legal confusion.

Our firm belongs to Illinois rooted deep for years in its soil running shoulder-to-shoulder through hardships and joys alike – wove threads of strong bonds metamorphosing from a mere law consulting group into an extended family entrusting faith upon one another while winning collective victories beating everyday adversities.

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.
