About Carlson Bier

Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Hanna City Illinois

At Carlson Bier, our personal injury attorneys have firm roots in Illinois. Our team comprises highly skilled and experienced professionals who excel in turning the complex arena of medical malpractice into a field they can competently navigate, to bring you justice when you need it most. You see, medical malpractice is not merely about bringing cases against health practitioners for their errors or negligence but addressing systemic issues that permeate our healthcare system.

Medical malpractices lawsuits are inherently complex due to conflicting narratives between healthcare providers and patients over the standard of medical care provided. Typically, a successful case involves the plaintiff demonstrating beyond doubt that any competent doctor would not have committed the same error under similar circumstances. Achieving this requires an intimate understanding of both law and medicine – a unique specialty area where we at Carlson Bier have honed our skills over many years.

What sets us apart? At Carlson Bier, we’re invested in unpacking complexities for our clients’ utmost benefit in terms of:

• Expert Witness Consultations: We will work closely with top specialists in relevant fields, ensuring robust expert testimonials that hold sway in court.

• In-depth Investigations: Our team spares no effort in conducting thorough investigations as part and parcel of building a bulletproof argument.

• Tailored Legal Strategies: Each client’s case gets personalized legal approaches designed to exploit every possible avenue towards compensation.

Understanding your rights as well as potential compensatory damages under Illinois state law is crucial for anyone caught up in such unfortunate predicaments. For instance, one may seek damages covering economic losses (medical expenses, lost income), noneconomic losses (pain & suffering), along with possible punitive damages meant to deter especially gross negligence.

Beyond understanding your rights to fair compensation lies enlightening yourself on deadlines set by statute limitations within our jurisdiction – typically two years from when injuries were inflicted or should reasonably have been discovered. Navigating through these legal specifics is yet another area where supportive counsel from the likes of Carlson Bier comes in handy.

The process of filing a medical malpractice lawsuit typically involves several stages:

• Preliminary Consultation: Identifying grounds for your claims and setting realistic expectations.

• Investigation & Research: Gathering critical records, interviewing all parties involved for evidence collection.

• Negotiations: Attempting resolutions out-of-court with insurers or healthcare providers concerned.

• Trial Proceedings: If negotiations fail to provide adequate compensation, taking matters to court then becomes essential.

Seeking legal counsel from Carlson Bier while battling profound emotional turmoil during recovery can often make a crucial difference between comprehensive healing and lifelong struggles following unfortunate medical malpractices. Alongside our solid commitment to justice battles, there’s also our unique sensitivity towards these dark moments in our clients’ lives that sets us apart.

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)

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.
