About Carlson Bier

Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Melvin Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we understand the devastating impact that medical malpractice can have on victims and their families. Medical malpractice occurs when a health care provider deviates from accepted standards in diagnosis or treatment, leading to harm. Such situations are never straightforward, often involving complex medical information wading into gray areas of the law – creating an urgent need for qualified legal representation.

Our expert team possesses comprehensive knowledge about medical negligence laws in Illinois. Our dedicated attorneys meticulously investigate each case, coordinating with world-class medical experts to unravel complicated diagnostic procedures and treatments potentially resulting in unfortunate consequences.

• We handle cases spanning all types of medical errors: surgical mistakes (wrong-site surgery or unnecessary operations), incorrect prescriptions/excessive dosages, misdiagnosis/delayed diagnosis, failure to secure informed consent before proceeding with any high-risk procedure.

• We also represent victims of birthing injuries—those suffered by mother or child during labor due to preventable hospital/practitioner negligence.

The standard of healthcare is not uniform across practitioners or institutions. It’s essential therefore that patients retain their rights for adequate compensation if they’ve been wronged due to error-prone systems failing them.

Navigating these challenges requires deft expertise not just in law but also a clear comprehension of intricate clinical phenomena precipitating these issues. As experienced personal injury lawyers based out of Illinois, at Carlson Bier, we stand at this unique cusp—assuring our clients a firm grasp over both legal and health-related aspects so as to guide them holistically through the murky waters following such distressful events.

Medical negligence can levy an overwhelming financial burden upon you – spiraling costs of additional treatment/procedures; rehabilitation; lost income if unable to work temporarily/permanently; other related expenses like paying off existing bills while waiting for claims acceptance; mental anguish/counseling needs apart from physical suffering—all together weaving a ruinous narrative for those affected.

Understanding this turmoil reflects in our mission— pursuing fair compensatory damages for the suffering endured owing to medical malnutrition. We stand beside victims, stemming resilience from our conviction that no one should have to bear with such severe blows alone.

The litigation process can be laborious and draining, but having a legal team seasoned in these proceedings smooths out your path to justice significantly. Our attorneys are skilled negotiators; many health care providers prefer settling claims rather than risk trial publicity given the potential reputational damage due to public legitimation of major health scandals.

Now let’s shine some light on the location-related factors play into case strategies in Illinois— commonly perceived as an easier place for victims seeking recourse through court filings because higher compensation awards are likely here compared with certain other states having imposed caps on malpractice lawsuits. But equally important is tackling jurisdiction issues adroitly—an aspect we’ve served diligently over years by keeping abreast about all local laws/regulations impacting claimants’ rights across different city/county boundaries within Illinois.

Rest assured that although we run operations statewide, we do not misconstrue our presence or expertise beyond permissible limits — always maintaining transparency complying strictly with local governance statutes including complete disassociation from unverified propagation of being physically located anywhere beyond our actual operational areas.

If you believe that you or a loved one has been harmed as a result of medical malpractice, there’s no need for further anguish. Unearth optimism amidst despair and allow us at Carlson Bier to uphold your voice against formidable entities who’ve done wrong by you. Remember—a mere click below could unlock your journey toward restoration, helping determine how much you could rightfully claim back for everything endured so unjustly because of someone else’s failure amid duty-bound responsibilities toward life preservation.

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.
