About Carlson Bier

Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Lincoln Park Illinois

Based at the heart of Illinois, Carlson Bier is a leading law firm, consistently delivering exceptional representation to victims of medical malpractice. We understand that medical negligence can result in devastating health and emotional consequences that alter your life permanently. Our seasoned personal injury lawyers are committed to ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve as a victim of medical malpractice.

At Carlson Bier, our focus on Medical Malpractice primarily spans across several areas: surgical errors, misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, medication errors and hospital negligence. Our team of attorneys has pooled years of collective experience litigating these intricate cases and we leverage this expertise to advocate fiercely on behalf of our clients.

Surgical Errors: One needs no further insight into the gravity of surgical procedures – they hold substantial risk factors even when performed by trained professionals following standard protocols. However, instances where avoidable harm befalls patients due to recklessness or oversight constitute actionable grounds for medical malpractice suits.

Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Timeliness plays an undeniably pivotal role when dealing with potential health issues. A tardy diagnosis could potentially give diseases like cancer enough time to progress beyond remedy – leading not just to amplified suffering but unnecessary fatalities as well. Misdiagnoses also sit comfortably within this category; prescribing irrelevant treatments while allowing the actual ailment free reign within one’s body can spark dire consequences.

Medication Errors: These span from incorrect prescriptions due to inadequate knowledge about a patient’s allergies right down to nursing staff administering wrong dosages. Medication mistakes may seem innocuous but their repercussions can often range from prolonged illness periods to irreversible complications or death.

Hospital Negligence: Hospitals bear comprehensive responsibilities towards their stakeholders — patients being paramount among them. Irrespective of whether it is unsterilized equipment causing infections or lax safety measures conducive to falls and injuries – if negligent behavior within care facilities culminates in harm, you have every legal right nurturing your quest for justice.

At Carlson Bier, the strength of our representation lies in our unwavering commitment to achieving justice and compensation for victims of medical malpractice. Trust us when we say – you don’t battle these overwhelming odds alone. Our lawyers pledge their expertise, fostering a conducive environment of compassion, understanding and aggressive legal action against parties at fault.

Navigating the complexities of medical malpractice cases requires specialized knowledge and experience that Carlson Bier brings. We relentlessly pursue the truth by interrogating every shred of evidence from all conceivable angles – leaving no room for doubt about who bears the liability for this glaring miscarriage of professional responsibility towards preserving human health. This meticulous diligence has birthed an enviable track record catalyzing hundreds to gain restitution they rightly deserved after enduring such harrowing experiences.

The long-term impact of medical negligence extends beyond immediate harm; it invariably includes future remedial treatments, time away from work leading to loss of earnings, compromised quality-of-life or even sustaining families in case of untimely deaths — factors we take into account when calculating rightful compensations victims deserve.

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.

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.
