About Carlson Bier

Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers in Deerfield Illinois

Welcome to the Carlson Bier Law Firm. We are seasoned personal injury attorneys and we specialize in multiple areas of personal injury law, including nursing home abuse cases. Our mission is simple: to defend victims of unscrupulous practices and ensure they receive the justice they deserve. Located in the great state of Illinois, we have in-depth knowledge of state laws and regulations surrounding this area of concern.

When you entrust the care of a beloved family member or close friend to a nursing home, it’s under good faith that their health, general condition, and morale are looked after with sterling standards. When these stand-offs are flouted—when cruel treatment turns safe spaces into breeding grounds for fear—we step in.

Nursing home abuses can take many forms:

•Physical abuse – occurrences may include hitting, scratching, shoving or inflicting any kind of physical harm on an individual.

•Emotional abuse – includes shouting at residents, causing unnecessary distress through harsh behavior, neglect etc.

•Sexual abuse – inappropriate sexual advances or actions against resident’s wishes

•Financial exploitations – staff taking advantage or exploiting residents financially

Subtle signs like sudden weight loss, fractures & bruises without clear explanation are pointers; more conspicuous signs could be visible fear around certain caregivers or changes in behavior which shout out ‘distress.’ Such manifestations should ring alarm bells because as silent requiems go up unnoticed from backrooms across our country each passing day—the odds sky-rocket if organizations believe they’re above reproach.

Hold them accountable—that’s where our dedication comes into play at Carlson Bier Law Firm. We pledge nothing short of exhaustive investigation when faced with potential violations against what constitutes lawful caregiving at nursing homes governed by Illinois law. Our approach entails abstaining from unduly burdening already distraught individuals while ensuring diligent reporting follows strategic legal counsel based on years-long experience & tangible wins.

Preparing your case starts with gathering extensive medical records, direct eyewitness accounts, infrastructural violations at care homes, and any relevant evidence. Our attorneys commence litigation with laser-targeted focus centered around proving gross negligence on part of the care home.

• First off is obtaining medical paperwork documenting abuse

• Depositions to record actual experiences firsthand from eyewitnesses/victims

• Legal questioning to expose potential downplay or evasion by injection staff

• Triumphant negotiation against insurance companies who play hardball

Remember that your case absolutely needs expert representation, an attorney who can battle fiercely in courtrooms while managing the emotional tide you’re riding out. With us, you can rest assured we’ve walked this path with others before; we’re here as stalwarts bearing our legal acumen passionately.

Never consider nursing home abuse too trivial for court trials—or hesitate being ‘that’ distress call blowing the lid off unjust setups because Illinois is a state whose laws do not take kindly to exploitation of helpless elderly residents. CHECK THIS: The Nursing Home Reform Act (1987) exists specifically for welfare defense—it mandates all nursing homes receiving public funding to provide certain services which promote physical/mental health & generally acceptable living conditions for its residents—otherwise risk lawsuits/countless penalties if found noncompliant.

Let’s fight back together because unlike those suffering in silence—you are empowered now more than ever thanks to Northwestern injury law statutes providing legal recourse via litigation routes against flagrant offenders. Why suffer when help is an arm’s length away?

Browse through more informational content on our website, devour facts about personal injury rights and how Carlson Bier champions these causes day in and out.

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.
