About Carlson Bier

Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Matteson Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we are dedicated to providing valuable assistance in understanding medical malpractice and its implications. Medical malpractice, a critical element of personal injury law, occurs when healthcare professionals cause harm through negligence or fail to deliver the necessary standard of care required under given circumstances. Being based in Illinois, we strive to further educate about local legal perspectives on this significant area of interest.

Medical malpractice takes many forms involving diagnosis errors, treatment omissions, procedural missteps, inadequate adherence to patient safety measures among several others. These might not only result in unprecedented consequences for patients but also involve intricate legal complications which necessitate adept professional help such as ours at Carlson Bier.

• Misdiagnosis: Failure by a medically trained professional to accurately diagnose an illness can result in incorrect treatments causing unnecessary harm.

• Surgical Errors: Mistakes made during surgery can lead to severe trauma or unexpected medical complications.

• Medication Errors: Overdoses, wrong prescriptions, or medicine mix-ups leading to adverse outcomes fall under this category.

• Negligence/Neglect: This could occur during nursing home stays where elder residents are ignored or not properly cared for.

• Birth Injuries: Mistakes made during child delivery potentially causing lifelong consequences for both mother and child.

By identifying these possible pain hurdles and pitfalls associated with your medical treatments/services received, you may have grounds for pursuing a case against responsible parties if any form of medical malpractice is evident.

To navigate toward justice successfully requires comprehensive knowledge about how the law protects patients from negligent healthcare providers/procedures. The statutes within Illinois emphasize strict time frames known as the “Statute of Limitations,” within which victims must file lawsuits post-factual discovery of injuries caused by presumed medical malpractices. Additionally, recent reforms now require allegations be backed by an ‘affidavit of merit,’ affirming that a reviewing doctor (qualified in applicable fields) asserts legitimized claim viability against defending practitioners.

This intricate legal landscape underscores the need for expertise from experienced personal injury lawyers such as our team at Carlson Bier. We are experts in dissecting medical malpractice intricacies, ensuring prospective clients claim rightful compensation when would-be defendants fail to uphold expected safe healthcare practices. Our sound analytical approach—delving into case specifics, thorough evidence gathering and effective strategy crafting—is essential to steer your lawsuit toward victory in Illinois courts efficiently.

Financial recompense stemming from successful medical malpractice lawsuits includes factors like lost income due to inability of meeting occupational obligations, calculated future earnings deficits, escalating medical expenses mounted post-trauma incident or even non-economic damages encompassing mental distress/anguish induced by inflicted injuries.

At Carlson Bier, we measure success based on our ability to secure these rightful dues for you. We do not merely settle at providing unmatched assistance throughout litigation processes but aim at extending beyond; transforming your unfortunate event into opportunities of acquiring rightful insurance settlements. Trust us to guide you through every step of what could otherwise be an overwhelming legal maze.

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.
