About Carlson Bier

Birth Injuries Lawyers in La Grange Park Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we are committed to providing quality support and representation for those impacted by birth injuries in Illinois. Birth injuries refer to health complications that arise due to medical malpractice during childbirth or the prenatal period. These can result in long-term implications – both physically and mentally – for affected children and their families.

As personal injury attorneys with an acute focus on birth trauma cases, we affirm the responsibility of healthcare professionals in ensuring safe delivery. However, when they fail in this duty through negligence or improper behavior, it’s only just that they be held accountable for the resultant damage.

Birth injuries may range from physical conditions such as cerebral palsy, brachial plexus injury, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), bone fractures or nerve damage to mental disadvantages like developmental delays or cognitive impairment. The manifestation of these disorders is often tied directly back to avoidable errors during childbirth:

– Misuse of birth-assistive tools

– Delayed c-section procedures

– Failure to monitor fetal distress

– Drug misuse leading to mother or child harm 
An exhaustive evaluation helps us uncover any acts of negligence which led up to these heart-wrenching situations.

The fight for justice might seem daunting—but take courage! Remember: you’re not alone in this challenging journey. Our team at Carlson Bier specializes in empowering families who’ve suffered birth injuries resulting from negligent actions. We stand resolutely by our commitment—providing expert legal counsel tailored towards obtaining recompense for every client.

Financial compensation awarded from birth injury cases can provide substantial assistance towards potential challenges your family might face moving forward – ongoing rehabilitative care costs, specialized educational needs etcetera; bringing some relief amidst a stormy season.

We view each case holistically—the child’s condition severity directly impacts the claim value. Another key determinant lies within the healthcare provider’s level of liability—as an affirmed action sans professional discretion or omission to act when required, could significantly affect possible compensatory results.

Navigating these complexities can be overwhelming but allow us to bear that burden for you. With our combination of experience and commitment, Carlson Bier has the expertise to handle each case with utmost care – retrieving necessary medical records, lining up expert witnesses, making sound valuation of the claim based on individual factors – all while ensuring maximum settlement values.

Protecting your family’s rights is critical—an essential step towards healing. Ensure those responsible are held accountable so other families wouldn’t have to suffer in kind. Birth injury cases demand attorneys who understand specific medical concepts surrounding childbirth processes and potential complications that might ensue due to negligent practice – intricacies we at Carlson Bier pride ourselves in mastering over the years due to unwavering dedication for justice.

Carrying a legacy marked by successful representations thus far, trust our team at Carlson Bier to champion your case with compassion and conviction—providing much-needed advocacy during this profoundly personal and sensitive time for your family.

Understanding real-life implications of birth injuries opens doors towards compassion—and action! Through client-centered representation backed by powerful legal wisdom, we aim not only to score victories inside courtrooms but also bring about positive change outside it—one story at a time. We’re here doing what we do best so you could focus entirely on supporting your loved one through their recovery journey without facing undue financial stressors as well.

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.
