About Carlson Bier

Birth Injuries Lawyers in Greenville Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we understand the devastating impact birth injuries can have on a family’s life. Possessing a deep commitment to advocating for those affected in Illinois, our experienced team of personal injury attorneys offers legal aid and representation geared towards mitigating these traumatic experiences.

Birth injuries pose the possibility of profound consequences, both physically and emotionally—and can potentially span a lifetime. Firstly, birth injuries may occur as a result of prenatal care negligence such as failure to diagnose mother or child medical conditions accurately during pregnancy. Secondly, medical malpractice during labor could also lead to severe birth injuries. These include instances where the obstetrician might fail to monitor fetal vitals correctly or respond adequately to complications during childbirth—leading to preventable harm.

• Prenatal Negligence: Prenatal care is integral for both maternal and fetal health. Obstetrics (OB) providers are required by standard medical procedures not only to identify but also manage any potential risks linked with pregnancy effectively.

• Labor Malpractice: A professional OB provider should have the knowledge necessary to interpret vital signs accurately—and take appropriate action when things deviate from normal circumstances.

When dealing with cases involving birth injuries, it’s crucial to document evidence comprehensively. Following this documentation, there should be an expert review—a process that assures all materials associated with your case receive thorough analysis and evaluation.

Given the complexity entailed in navigating through this situation, it takes exceptional legal acumen—is what you will find at Carlson Bier—to secure your family’s deserved compensation against negligent healthcare professionals whose actions may have led to infliction of these severe birth-related traumas.

At no cost or obligation whatsoever on your part initially—we offer prospective clients an opportunity for free consultation sessions—the following points provide insights into what our law firm includes:

• Comprehensive Case Evaluation: Exhaustive analysis of all medical records related therein and accumulating substantial pieces of evidence tied up within your case.

• Expert Consultation: Our legal team consults with top medical experts in the field—enacting a profound understanding of birth injury instances.

• Skilled Negotiations or Trial Advocacy: Aimed at securing maximum compensation, it could be either through negotiation settlements or court verdicts.

At Carlson Bier, we are passionately dedicated to gaining justice for babies and their families who have suffered from life-altering outcomes due to birth injuries that were possibly preventable. We understand this emotional trauma; we empathetically shoulder the legal burdens so you can focus on what truly matters—helping your child not only survive but also thrive against all odds.

Crucially important note: If your case involves infant death resulting from evident perinatal negligence or malpractice during childbirth—you may qualify for filing a wrongful death lawsuit. Civil litigation of such instances enables one to collect substantial punitive damages beyond conventional compensatory awards—the aim being to deter healthcare professionals from repeating similar mistakes in future.

The journey after experiencing a birth injury can indeed seem daunting. Casting suspense away, let us help you realize where you stand legally—this being the initial step towards obtaining justice and more importantly; closure for your loved ones still reeling under shock and uncertainty.

Bear this mind—a key aspect about personal injury cases, precisely regarding statute limitations (in Illinois): From date incident occurred—you typically have two years to file suit before too late.

Therefore, as each day passes by—the clock starts ticking against probabilistic realization of owed reparations that might fade away into limitless oblivion if left unaddressed timely—and worse yet; unrest dealt with unraveling complexities associated therein causing added anguish, internally tearing apart affected family members further down lanes suffering amid ceaseless procrastination, leading nowhere but bottomless abyss called despair—that promises nothing except hollow emptiness spiraling out within hearts beleaguered far beyond conceivable comfort zones ever imagined otherwise…

Taking immediate action becomes paramount—but why battle alone when you have-backed by years of expertise and an immaculate track record filled with countless successful case resolutions—Carlson Bier standing steadfast, fighting on your behalf resiliently where there’s no room left for compromise regarding justice served deservedly.

In the wake of such distressing circumstances—it’s often difficult to envision life beyond immediate pain. Yet having skilled and compassionate legal representation from a trusted firm like Carlson Bier can make the path ahead clearer—and certainly more manageable. We are here for you to assist in taking that first brave step. Curious about how much your case could potentially be worth? Don’t hover over it any longer; click the button below…your journey towards justice begins now!

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.
