About Carlson Bier

Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Manteno Illinois

Welcome to Carlson Bier, a highly specialized law firm dedicated to personal injury cases. Our principal area of expertise lies in Medical Malpractices and Illinois statutes surrounding it.

As medical malpractice safeguards the rights of patients suffering from substandard care or negligence at the hands of their healthcare providers, understanding its intricacies helps you on your claim journey better. In its simplest sense, medical malpractice occurs when a patient is harmed by a doctor or other medical professional who fails to competently perform his or her duties. However, having an adverse outcome isn’t always indicative of malpractice; instead, it ensues when your healthcare practitioner deviates from accepted norms under similar circumstances.

Significant types of medical malpractice include misdiagnosis/delayed diagnosis where the physician’s inability to accurately diagnose timely leads to negligent treatment; childbirth injuries due to obstetrical errors during delivery; medication errors that occur at any stage–from prescription to consumption–, surgery-related issues such as conducting incorrect procedures and failure in after-surgery care amongst others.

Negligence can cause severe implications on the physical and mental well-being of patients along with spiraling financial setbacks due to prolonged inappropriate treatment. If you recognize similar patterns in your case, then our reasonably expected standardization principle allows us legally hold responsible physicians who caused unwarranted harm due.

Thinking about filing a legal claim? Remember these vital points:

• The medical professional’s actions did not meet the accepted standards of practice.

• It would help if you were harmed physically or emotionally by this incompetence.

• This led directly to economic hardship in terms of loss of work, unnecessary medical bills etcetera.

When comprehending medical malpractice laws in Illinois specifically, there are specific thresholds essential for lodging complaints like expert affidavit requirement—an unbiased written statement from an expert confirming sub-par care quality leading to damage—statute of limitations—a time limit within which one must initiate litigation post comprehension—or lack of informed consent defense et al.

Successfully proving medical malpractice can prove to be complex, which is why choosing legal representation like Carlson Bier is imperative because the damage incurred isn’t always apparent or immediate. These intricacies demand decisive investigation and relentless advocacy through each stage involved in your medical malpractice claim ranging from an initial case evaluation via compiling evidence and expert testimonies, negotiating settlements, through trial proceedings if required. We provide skilled representation to pursue justice on your behalf.

Additionally, it’s crucial mentioning our office’s locality to avoid fostering any confusion for prospective clientele. Under Illinois law, attorneys are prohibited from advertising they have offices in cities wherein they don’t physically exist. As a sincere and respect-worthy Personal Injury Lawyer group based in Illinois itself, please note that whilst we extend our services across numerous localities statewide, we do not imply having physical locations elsewhere—legally complying with every statutory rule valid in the state.

To conclude, you deserve just compensation for the pain suffered due to someone else’s negligence under their oath-bound duties – and we stand committed to this quest by ensuring a fair fight for your rights. If you or loved ones face adversities arising out of potential medical malpractices endangering lives or well-being—rest assured—you’ve arrived at the right place.

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)

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.
