Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Itasca Illinois

Welcome to Carlson Bier, an esteemed personal injury attorney group dedicated to aiding Illinois residents in their pursuit of justice and rightful compensation. As skilled practitioners in the field of Medical Malpractice law, it is our mission not only to serve but also educate potential clients like you about the complexities involved.

Medical malpractice is a serious concern that can give rise to unforeseen physical and emotional distress. In cases where healthcare providers fail to meet the standard level of care expected in their profession, resulting in patient harm – you have every right as citizens under Illinois Law for rightful redressal. While pursuing lawsuits relevant to medical malpractice could appear intimidating at first glance, the commitment of expert professional teams such as ours can significantly ease these hardships.

In defining medical malpractice, two critical legal elements should be understood:

• Breach: Proving that your healthcare provider breached or violated an accepted ‘standard of care’.

• Causation: Establishing that this breach directly resulted in your injury essentially connecting your harm with the practitioner’s negligence.

Carlson Bier brings years of experience combating such issues while ensuring rightful resolution for victims. We consistently keep ourselves updated with dynamic legislations on medical malpractice which safeguards a progressive approach towards case handling.

Let us shed some light on pertinent laws within the state of Illinois regarding Medical Malpractice:

• IL maintains statute limitations for filing a lawsuit which begins from two years starting when you recognized or reasonably should have pointed out malpractice occurrence.

• The state doesn’t place caps or set limits on damages; hence any compensatory award decided goes unrestricted by legal benchmarks.

• The “Respondeat Superior” rule pronounces employers liable too if employees commit errors under their watch – vital information when lawsuits target hospitals instead of individual practitioners.

Understanding Medical Malpractice law involves numerous intricacies; yet one thing remains clear – it’s essential to seek qualified assistance immediately upon suspecting foul play by healthcare providers. It requires nuanced navigation of evidence, medical records, and intricate statutes. Thorough investigation paves the path towards legal relief – this is where we extend our expertise at Carlson Bier.

While wading through daunting folds of uncertainty brought about by incidents as troubling as medical malpractices – you have allies in us. Rest assured that our team stands equipped with seasoned experts, deeply empathetic to your predicaments while aggressively pursuing justice on your behalf.

If you stand doubtful or concerned regarding exploitation at the hands of a healthcare provider, remember that professional help is always within reach. It’s not just about taking a stand against negligence; it’s also about making certain other unsuspecting patients don’t fall prey to similar circumstances.

Now that we’ve explored different facets involved under Medical Malpractice law – there lingers one crucial question: “How much compensation can I rightfully claim?” By trusting renowned attorneys like Carlson Bier with your case evaluation, we vouch for comprehensive exploration of every liability aspect pertinent to your situation. It’s paramount for us to ensure every deserving victim receives their due recompense.

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.
