Our attorneys have extensive experience and knowledge in handling such cases – relentlessly fighting for justice on behalf of our clients. Every day, millions of Americans place their trust in the hands of medical practitioners believing that these professionals will act in their best interest. Unfortunately, when negligence occurs during medical procedures, it can lead to catastrophic and life-altering consequences.

Medical malpractice constitutes a deviation from standard care protocols which result in harm or injury to a patient. It may include misdiagnosis, delayed treatment amongst others. Detailed legal advice rendered by experienced professionals like Carlson Bier is indispensable due to the complexity involved in proving liability under Illinois Law. We examine every facet of your case with precision and leave no stone unturned while looking for evidence showing professional misconduct or negligence caused by healthcare providers.

In Illinois, there are two key elements we focus on when approaching cases related to Medical Malpractice:

• First: Demonstrating that the medical provider failed to adhere to standards accepted within the practitioner’s specialty area

• Second: Proving how this breach resulted not just harm but significant damages affecting quality of life

Legal statutes also impose restraints on filing malpractice litigation – one cannot go forward unless there’s sufficient evidence against the healthcare institution or practitioner compiled through an opinion provided by proficient healthcare experts.

Navigating these convoluted laws requires rich expertise- one achievable only through years dedicated exclusively towards dealing with personal injury claims & suits. Relying on effective methods & strategies driven by sharp analytical skills and strong research ability; we at Carlson Bier stand unwaveringly beside our clients providing vigorous representation through every step of your claim filing procedure.

Often victims overlook seeking settlement or fear invoking a lawsuit thinking about major hassle resulting over time-consuming processes beset with tremendous strain. But it’s crucial to remember, filing timely legal claims becomes instrumental to get compensated for physical pain & suffering or financial loss incurred due to excessive medical bills, lost wages alongside long-term recovery expenses.

Trust the Carlson Bier group with your Medical Malpractice lawsuit for skilled representation powered by tenacity and compassion. Our commitment runs beyond winning cases; it’s about focusing especially on you – understanding how this unfortunate event disrupted your life, we tailor our approach making sure litigation procedures impact minimally on day-to-day activities whilst we pursue rightful recompense.

Exercising specialized knowledge backed by meticulous work ethics, our team comes forward with a robust action plan addressing individual needs specific to each client – diligently reviewing medical records, interviewing involved parties while engaging expert witnesses targeted towards building a compelling case yielding desired outcome as quickly as feasibly possible without compromising claim value.

Our belief that every victim deserves justice under the law motivates us tirelessly safeguarding those negatively impacted due to ill-guided actions of trusted professionals – defend yourself effectively against institutions seemingly bigger by letting us stand in this fight beside you.

Finally yet importantly, despite laws varying largely across jurisdiction boundaries, what remains common is sheer complexity weaving through these scenarios- be it figuring out if you have valid grounds for filing malpractice suit or determining compensation amounts. Hence before proceeding further why not analyze prospects about how much does your case worth?

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.
