About Carlson Bier

Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Johnsburg Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we draw from years of experience in the realm of personal injury law to serve our valued clientele in Illinois. One key area within this broad spectrum is Medical Malpractice, where we stand firm against healthcare negligence and fight for justice on behalf of those who have been wronged via substandard care.

Medical malpractice takes place when a hospital, doctor or other health care professional causes an injury to a patient through a negligent act or omission. The negligence might stem from errors in diagnosis, during treatment, in aftercare or even health management. Understanding precisely what medical malpractice entails can potentially safeguard you from future despair over preventable injuries or complications.

• Negligence: This pertains to situations where your caregiver deviated from the acceptable standard of care that professionals within similar circumstances would reasonably uphold.

• Causation: For a successful claim, it’s requisite for any victim of negligence to prove that their injury came about as a result of their caregivers’ deviation(s) from standard norms.

• Damages: Medical malpractice lawsuits hinge greatly on proof that harm was caused. If no damage ensued (despite possible recklessness), there may be no basis for a claim.

Dealing with medical malpractice can be overwhelming; to navigate these treacherous waters requires seasoned help—this is where we step in. At Carlson Bier, we are committed to dissecting every detail relating to your condition and its repercussions while providing vigilance throughout comprehensive investigations into each case.

It may surprise you how widespread cases like these are perhaps because many victims don’t realize that they’ve suffered as a direct outcome of medical negligence—the devastating consequences brought about by lackadaisical practices could linger unnoticed until much later; others may not recognize it at all. So if you’ve experienced any irregularities during previous treatments such as unexpected complications (e.g., surgery led to progression rather than resolution), unexplainable changes (like sudden deterioration despite following prescriptions explicitly), or if your doctor simply can’t provide a logical explanation for any adverse conditions you may have experienced following their care, it’s advisable that you seek professional counsel. We, at Carlson Bier, are ready to assess your situation thoroughly; our expertise in holding healthcare professionals accountable is at your service.

Many medical malpractice victims find themselves facing an uphill battle not only against the physical damage that has been inflicted upon them but also financial devastation due to expensive treatments and the loss of earnings. Rest assured we’re here to advocate for your full recovery by championing cases involving:

• Surgical errors: This happens when surgery isn’t performed correctly leading to serious health risks.

• Wrongful diagnosis & misdiagnosis: When a doctor fails in diagnosing your condition correctly, it could delay critical treatment potentially causing more harm.

• Anesthesia negligence: When incorrect amounts are administered or other avoidable errors occur during anesthesia.

• Medication mistakes: Where wrong dosages or even wrong prescriptions are given to patients—the fallout from this can be catastrophic.

At Carlson Bier, we understand how much trust individuals place on healthcare providers and just how earth-shattering the effects can be when such trust is breached. Our focus remains on facilitating the pursuit of justice all through these demanding times.

Are you curious about what legal remedies might be accessible to you in light of possible negligent healthcare? It’s essential to note there are stringent timelines known as statute limitations which govern just how long a victim has before they’re unable to lodge a lawsuit over medical malpractice in Illinois—you must act swiftly! If you’re ready now though, ascertain what compensation could lie within your reach by clicking on the button below for an assessment of potential case worth. We await eagerly at Carlson Bier with promising hopes for awarding recompense tantamount to the gravamen triggered directly by neglectful care practices—wherever across Illinois they’re found.

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.
