About Carlson Bier

Birth Injuries Lawyers in Hull Illinois

A birth injury is a tragically unfortunate event that can occur during labor and delivery. Such injuries range from minor cuts or bruises to severe damages leading to lifelong disabilities for a newborn child. Carlson Bier, an esteemed personal injury law firm based in Illinois, offers expert legal assistance in handling cases related to birth injuries.

Birth injuries predominantly occur due to medical negligence or malpractice by healthcare providers. This negligence may encompass deviations from standard care procedures, failure to monitor the infant’s vital signs correctly, delayed responses to complications, or incorrect use of delivery tools such as forceps or vacuum extractors. The aftermaths are undeniably harrowing – ranging from cerebral palsy attributed to brain damage, fractured bones due to traumatic deliveries, Brachial plexus injuries defining loss of movement or weakness in the arm and much more.

Understanding the different types of birth injuries is pivotal because it aids in distinguishing them based on their symptoms and ramifications:

• Cerebral Palsy: It results from improper handling causing oxygen deprivation to the brain during childbirth. Symptoms include problems with movement coordination and muscle tone.

• Caput Succedaneum: A condition caused by pressure on the baby’s head during delivery resulting in swelling.

• Perinatal Asphyxia: A lack of oxygen before, during, or immediately after birth causing lethargy, not breathing properly, seizures among other things.

• Fractures: Most common fracture witnessed during childbirth is clavicle fracture which could result from inappropriate maneuvering.

It’s noteworthy that effects of some birth injuries might resonate instantaneously post-birth while others may take years before they are noticeable when developmental delays become evident.

In this realm of distress and uncertainty where a joyful occasion becomes laden with dread and fear for parents; Carlson Bier steps up acting as your potent ally interspersed with compassion and dedicated service. We specialize not only in identifying the hidden forms of physician liability but also advocate for compensation that’s truly reflective of the current and future needs associated with your child’s injury.

As your legal representatives, we will:

• Thoroughly review medical records to identify any acts of malpractice.

• Consult medical experts to substantiate claims of negligence resulting in birth injuries.

• Determine the costs of ongoing care, special education needs, or lifestyle modifications your child might require as a result of injury.

Standing at the forefront advocating for justice in personal injury cases across Illinois; Carlson Bier is revered in its ability to combine legal prowess with empathetic understanding. Our ultimate objective lies anchored in obtaining maximum compensation while ensuring that those responsible are held accountable for their actions.

Birth injuries not only alter an infant’s quality of life but wreak havoc on parents emotionally and financially. The repercussions echo through a lifetime varying from physical therapy sessions to cognitive developmental aids, specialized childcare equipment or even home modifications serving as a grim reminder. Therefore, it’s imperative that you receive appropriate remuneration commensurate to secure the best possible care for your child.

With this endgame perspective rooted firmly, we stress on underpinning every single detail translating into compelling evidence fueling your claim. We staunchly believe that no parent should bear undue strain when their child suffers due to irresponsible practices; let us traverse this challenging terrain extending our expert assistance throughout our legal journey together.

Building a case revolving around birth injuries requires formidable experience and precise expertise – elements defining Carlson Bier. As professional personal attorneys concentrated in Illinois, we strive relentlessly towards restoring faith by turning adversity into action aimed at securing justice.

It can be daunting attempting to quantify physical pain and emotional distress into financial figures. However rest assured knowing that at Carlson Bier our priority remains aligned – bringing justice by holding culprits accountable while ensuring comfortable care for your loved one marked by these unnecessary hardships caused by negligences during childbirth.

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)

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.
