About Carlson Bier

Birth Injuries Lawyers in Energy Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we’re not just a team of personal injury attorneys; we’re your unwavering advocates committed to helping you navigate the complex legal landscape. Ensuring justice and recovery for birth injury victims in Illinois has been our dedicated objective. We believe that every childbirth process should culminate in tears of joy and not sorrow spurred by negligence or medical malpractices. This is why thousands rely on us when they need competent representation for their birth injury claims.

Birth injuries can occur due to complications during pregnancy, labor, or delivery and can leave devastating physical and emotional scars on both the baby and parents. They often result from carelessness or mistakes made by healthcare professionals—a breach of standards which might cause cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, hypoxia, brain damage, spinal cord injuries among other conditions.

We’ll take a brief look at some crucial aspects:

– Birth Injury Versus Birth Defects: Conscious distinction must be established between birth injuries and defects—the latter usually develop while the baby’s still in the womb caused mostly by genetic factors or harmful substances ingested during pregnancy.

– Causes Of Birth Injuries: Overly long labor? Incorrect use of equipment? Premature delivery? Deviation from acceptable clinical norms is unacceptable! A wide range of possibilities exists—these require comprehensive investigations.

– Actions After Suspected Birth Injuries: Collect all related medical records as quickly as possible after suspicion arises regarding possible birth injuries. Talk immediately to an experienced birth injury attorney like those with us right here at Carlson Bier who will rapidly evaluate your case.

– Compensation And The Law: You have rights – whether it’s compensation for pain and suffering, reimbursement for past/future medical bills/losts wages were pertinent to birth injuries incurred owing to negligence—one shouldn’t bear such costs personally without seeking redress through proper legal channels.

Putting together a watertight case depends on accurately positioning facts within the frameworks of the Illinois law where the incidents took place, demonstrating negligence or malpractice and showing direct cause-effect relationships between alleged oversights and resultant injuries. Clear attribution often makes a substantial difference when assessing viability—getting awarded full compensation rests on this foundation.

Our team at Carlson Bier meticulously handles each case to ensure fair chances of securing dues rightfully belonging to affected families. That involves painstaking scrutiny of medical data—monitoring charts, labor/delivery reports, prenatal records—in pursuit of possible red flags that shouldn’t have been missed by competent healthcare providers—a daunting task for individuals without proper legal training. We understand perfectly how critical timing is in these inquiries; it’s our priority to obtain swift justice while respecting specified statutes of limitations enshrined within the Illinois law.

When choosing your representative, be keen on selecting accomplished personal injury lawyers who demystify legalese into digestible information upon which you’ll make informed decisions regarding your claims. At Carlson Bier, we’re equipped not just with richly experienced attorneys but also with support staff including researchers and investigative experts committed towards unwrapping compelling evidence that supports your claims conceptually while convincing juries beyond reasonable doubt about their legitimacy.

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.
