About Carlson Bier

Birth Injuries Lawyers in Eldorado Illinois

Birth injuries occur in the process of childbirth and can be a terrifying experience for any parent. They may result from medical negligence during prenatal care or delivery, causing significant harm to newborns and sometimes leading to long-term complications such as cerebral palsy, brachial plexus injury, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), and other conditions that demand lifelong attention and care.

At Carlson Bier, we take immense pride in our expertise in dealing with birth injury cases. Based out of Illinois, we are deeply committed to providing you with strategic legal counsel geared towards securing a favorable outcome. We possess the knowledge needed to determine if your child’s birth injuries resulted from avoidable medical errors and have extensive resources at our disposal for conducting thorough investigations into these complex medical malpractice claims.

*Comprehending Birth Injuries.*

Understanding the factors involved in birth injuries is crucial:

• Preterm Birth: This refers to the baby being born before 37 weeks of gestation and being more susceptible to health issues.

• Oxygen Deprivation: A lack of oxygen during delivery can lead to several health complications like brain damage.

• Improper use of Medical Instruments: Excessive force or incorrect usage of equipment such as vacuum extractors or forceps might cause harm.

Regardless of how these devastating situations develop, what remains constant is this – negligent medical practitioners should be held responsible for their actions. If deemed necessary by expert findings, filing a lawsuit against them could help families secure deserved compensation while also sending a strong message about upholding standards of professional conduct within the healthcare industry.

*Navigating Through Legal Challenges.*

Navigating through legal battles can seem intimidating but with Carlson Bier on your side, this becomes significantly easier:

• Knowledgeable Representation: Our law firm’s dedicated personal injury lawyers bring years of specialized knowledge enabling them proficiently comb through details specific to your situation.

• Personalized Approach: Each case presents unique challenges and involves varying circumstances, so we provide tailored strategies to each client.

• No Hidden Costs: We operate on a contingency fee basis which means you only pay if we win your case.

We understand how emotionally draining it could be to deal with such traumatic incidents and the ensuing legal repercussions. That’s why at Carlson Bier, our approach doesn’t just involve fighting for your legal rights but also providing emotional support throughout the process.

*Bolstering Your Legal Journey.*

Once we’ve worked in tandem to plan an aggressive strategy best suited for your situation, next comes executing this blueprint:

• Evidence Gathering: Document collection pertaining to medical records, testimonies from doctors or birth injury experts that substantiate negligence claims underlies this step.

• Expert Consultations: By leveraging relationships within extensive networks of medical professionals, solidifying a foolproof case becomes much smoother.

• Negotiation & Settlement: We work hard in negotiations with prosecutors to get you the compensation that vastly improves quality of life.

While these are broad outlines of what generally transpires during birth injury lawsuit cases, no two scenarios are exactly alike. Our lawyers will guide you through specific proceedings relevant to your situation while maintaining transparent communication letting you know exactly where things stand at all times.

In dealing with such critical matters, time is always crucial due to statutes of limitations associated with birth injury lawsuits. To avoid running into hurdles caused by missed deadlines or lack of evidence integrity as time passes on, proactively handling these situations remains key.

At Carlson Bier, we believe justice delayed is justice denied. In situations involving irreversible harm caused by someone else’s negligence recompense should not wait. Let us assist you in taking those pivotal first steps towards securing the compensation and peace of mind that you rightfully deserve.

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.
