About Carlson Bier

Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers in Huntley Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we understand that entrusting the care of loved ones to a nursing home is never an easy decision. It’s even worse when negligence or an abusive situation unfolds within these establishments. Our law firm specializes in handling personal injury cases, with extensive experience and expertise in dealing with Nursing Home Abuse claims across Illinois.

A high standard of care is expected from nursing homes as they serve some of our most vulnerable community members – our elders. When this standard isn’t met, those responsible must be held accountable. As such, it becomes essential for you, the family member or friend who identifies such damage, to understand what nursing home abuse entails and how it presents itself.

Nursing home abuse can transpire in various forms:

* Physical Abuse: Any pain or injury inflicted upon a resident intentionally constitutes physical abuse.

* Emotional Abuse: Evident through extreme sadness or agitation in residents resulting from verbal assaults or insults.

* Sexual Abuse: Non-consensual sexual contact of any kind qualifies as sexual abuse.

* Financial Exploitation: Unauthorized use of a resident’s finances, properties, or other assets falls under this category.

Unfortunately, detectable signs may not always be evident because victims tend to remain silent due to fear or incapacity. However, knowing potential red flags like unexpected injuries; sudden behavioral changes; unexplained financial transactions could help you discern if something is amiss.

When trust gets shattered by such actions causing harm instead of providing required care, legal consequences become inevitable. That’s where we step in—we at Carlson Bier specialize in ensuring justice prevails.

Our methodology focuses on building a robust claim backed by thorough investigations and relevant data including medical records scrutiny; interviews with staff members & other residents; examination of facility protocols; comprehensive understanding about their enforcement measures – all aimed towards proving systemic negligence beyond doubt.

With each case being unique due to varying circumstances surrounding it—proven patterns of neglect illustrated extensively, or a single instance leading to injury—we tailor our approach accordingly. Here at Carlson Bier, our objective isn’t limited only towards establishing fault; we strive for securing maximum compensation feasible since restoring quality of life becomes paramount in such distressing situations.

We are deeply aware of the trauma and emotional turmoil that accompanies cases of nursing home abuse. It’s not just about seeking justice—it’s about addressing your concerns with grace, dignity, and respect for all parties involved. Our commitment remains steadfast from day one: providing top-level legal representation and unwavering support while navigating through complex legalities tied up with such distressing experiences.

While monetary compensation can never fully assuage the pain endured through elder abuse in nursing homes, it does provide financial aid encompassing medical bills; pain & suffering; mental anguish—and holds accountable those who violated their duty of care.

At Carlson Bier, we stand beside you throughout this arduous journey—making sure every voice is heard loud and clear–bringing the responsible parties to justice while advocating vehemently on behalf of victims powerless against these terrible acts inflicted upon them.

Nobody deserves to suffer silently—the elderly least of all. Any form of negligence or abuse against them resonates powerfully across society reflecting deplorably on human values potentially subjected amongst us all someday—if left unchecked.

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.
