Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Fox River Grove Illinois

Experiencing a medical malpractice event is both an emotionally distressful and complex incident. As experts in this field, here at Carlson Bier, we understand the intricacies involved in such cases and strive to provide complete guidance and assistance throughout your legal journey.

In the state of Illinois, medical malpractice represents any situation where a healthcare provider fails to adhere by the standard of care during treatment or diagnosis, resulting in patient harm or injury. This failure can manifest itself in many forms such as diagnostic errors, surgical errors, medication missteps, and even birth injuries. At our law firm based in Illinois, protecting your rights as a patient is synonymous with promoting fair medical practice.

• Identifying Medical Malpractice: It often becomes challenging for patients to establish whether they have been victims of malpractice. Beyond inflicting physical harm on a patient or creating emotional distress, negligent actions should have directly caused you significant damage which could be loss of income due to prolonged sickness or disability or excessive pain and suffering that are not side effects of the procedure.

• Expert Knowledge Requirement: Success in such lawsuits largely depends on expert testimony securing the link between doctor’s negligence and inflicted injury.

• Accurate Timing: According to Illinois Law, medical malpractice claims must typically be filed within two years from when one knows about (or reasonably should know about) their injury—yet no more than four years after the act occurred—to hold validity. This time frame compels individuals who suspect medical wrongdoings against them to act swiftly with professional legal guidance by their side.

Medical malpractice trials demand unrivaled expertise added with constant support considering their personal nature—an arena where Carlson Bier exhales magnificently through its seasoned attorneys whose experience extends beyond decades. We distill facts from complicated situations using cutting-edge investigation techniques with coherence for quick court usage.

Along with ensuring top-notch representation for you inside courtrooms, we offer compassionate yet assertive advocacy, appreciation of your feelings and experiences, and open communication. Inching towards justice for medical malpractice victims drives every action at our law firm.

Nevertheless, understanding that each case is unique with distinct circumstances—we advise you not to base your potential outcome on any previous victory decoration—we insist on personalized attention from beginning through the end. Despite this rule-of-thumb applying to clients everywhere—past success does indirectly point towards a starting gauge marker offering guidance about what could possibly be achieved when you work with us.

Attempting to navigate through a lawsuit alone can cause undue stress and might lead to avoidable errors that weaken your case. Choosing Carlson Bier means choosing expertise, empathy, courage, thoroughness—an entire gamut of traits aimed at achieving worthwhile compensation for damages endured because of somebody’s negligence.

Victims often deal with far more than just physical injuries—they may face emotional trauma and financial stress due to paying astronomical medical bills resulting from another person’s error. A successful legal claim cannot retract the distressing events but it can relieve some burdens by compensating for past, present, or future losses whether they are monetary muscles or unseen yet felt impacts such as pain/suffering or mental anguish.

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.

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)

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.
