About Carlson Bier

Birth Injuries Lawyers in Crainville Illinois

Birth injuries are devastating events that can forever change the lives of those affected. Carlson Bier, a distinguished Illinois law firm, possesses an exceptional track record in representing clients who have fallen victim to birth injuries. It’s an unfortunate reality that these lifelong complications and disabilities could occur if medical professionals fail to adhere strictly to their duties during critical periods such as pregnancy, labor, delivery, or even post-delivery care.

Understanding Birth Injuries: The core attribute that differentiates birth injury lawsuits from other personal injury cases is the need for intricate medical knowledge concerning pregnancy and childbirth procedures. Certain circumstances may lead to birth injuries including prolonged labor, presentation problems such as breech births, premature babies or multiple births situations; just to mention a few scenarios.

Critical Facts about Birth Injuries:

• Known conditions like Cerebral palsy or Erb’s palsy may result from birth injuries.

• The risk margin increases with more complex deliveries requiring operative intervention.

• Directly related instances include oxygen deprivation or physical trauma during delivery.

• These occurrences can potentially cause irreversible damage leading to long-term developmental issues.

Carlson Bier employs attorneys deeply versed in matters related to prenatal care mishaps and negligence resulting in birth injuries. Our expertise stretches beyond mere knowledge of legal statutes ordaining responsibility onto caregivers; we incorporate cutting-edge understanding of medical procedures involved during childbirth. This multidisciplinary approach grants us leverage when investigating your case meticulously and demanding accountability where it is due.

The Impact of Birth Injuries: A life impacted by a congenital disability especially due to negligent behavior transcends beyond the physical implications alone – there exist stinging emotional & financial burdens too. You might unavoidably plunge into volleying obligations including special schooling requisites orchestrated education programs for physically challenged children, ongoing therapy sessions not excluding consistent medical check-ins all catalyzed by avoidable malpractice incidents.

At Carlson Bier we appreciate these complexities plaguing families affected by such situations. Our dedicated attorneys zealously fight for rightful compensations commensurate with the emotional anguish, economic obligations, as well as physical discomfort suffered. We relentlessly drill down into all pertinent medical documents and related evidence in order to lay bare the acts of malpractice or any failures in the standard of care during labor or delivery responsible for your child’s birth injuries.

Legal Support When You Need It: Successfully litigating a personal injury case inspired by a birth injury necessitates explicit understanding of relevant laws and statutes holistically from varied perspectives – precisely what Carlson Bier is known for; experienced, understanding, personalized care to their clients’ individual needs.

Hope Through Action: For those whose lives have been uprooted due to negligence-induced birth injuries, we extend our commitment and perseverance towards seeking justice for your family and give you hope that there is a fair chance in receiving compensation. Do take note that while our representation encompasses Illinois, it is against state law to claim offices where none exist physically – strict honesty & integrity are aspects we uphold earnestly in line with legal norms governing practice within Illinois state borders.

In conclusion; partnership with Carlson Bier remains not only an option but the surest bet towards attaining amicable closure through redemption deserved from negligent parties accountable for any forms of carried out malpractices directly leading to birth injuries incurred upon you or loved ones.

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.
