About Carlson Bier

Birth Injuries Lawyers in Mount Olive Illinois

At the distinguished law firm of Carlson Bier, we specialize in elevating voices muffled by adversity and championing causes diminished by negligence. Headquartered within Illinois’ expansive jurisdiction, our expertise encompasses various facets of personal injury law, with a significant focus on birth injuries. As proficient practitioners within this realm, we possess comprehensive knowledge about such sensitive cases which predominantly stem from medical negligence during childbirth.

Birth injuries primarily occur due to either an obstetrician’s incompetence or shortcomings in the overall prenatal care provided to expectant mothers. Prevalent examples include cerebral palsy resulting from oxygen deprivation to the baby’s brain during labor; damage to a child’s brachial plexus nerves that control arm movements causing Erb’s Palsy; shoulder dystocia often resulting in permanent disability; fractures incurred during difficult deliveries and perinatal asphyxia that may lead to long-term developmental issues.

Regrettably, these incidents tend only to surface postnatally when parents notice developmental delays or physical impairments their newborn manifests over time. Consequently, unsuspecting parents grapple with tremendous emotional distress coupled with gargantuan healthcare expenses for their child’s extensive rehabilitation needs.

These tragic incidents underscore the importance of precision and competence among healthcare professionals attending childbirths – lapses can precipitate irreversible damage impacting not just newborns but entire families for generations ahead. In light of such happenstances:

• Medical malpractice lawsuits proffer parents hope towards securing fiscal reparation for medical inaccuracies committed whilst delivering negligent birthing services.

• Parents must approach legal counsel as soon as they perceive irregularities amidst their child’s growth pattern since statutes of limitation could jeopardize legal claims if initiated belatedly.

• Skilled attorneys proficient in medical malpractice cases can source expert testimonials validating your situation against defendant doctors making a formidable case consequently guaranteeing maximum indemnity possible.

• Medical repercussions emerging from birth traumas might necessitate lifelong therapy, surgeries and special education; factors considered when calculating parental compensation to financially equip families managing such circumstances.

Navigating the complex legal and medical minefield associated with birth injuries can be daunting without astute litigation support. This is where Carlson Bier steps in as your unwavering advocates, armed with formidable legal acumen tempered by sensitivity for traumatized victims. We empathize profoundly with parents contending these catastrophic incidences knowing well that beyond reimbursement, they seek validation of their horrific ordeal via a lawful verdict.

As consummate counselors attuned to clients’ intricate needs above merely discharging perfunctory duties, we exhaustively study each case’s uniqueness before crafting tailored legal strategies. Backed by integral forensic resources and strategic alliances with globally recognized medical experts, exhaustive evidence collection constitutes our preliminary step towards constructing powerful defenses against formidable adversaries often represented by imposing insurance corporations.

Ensuring our clients remain informed throughout this intense process is an inviolable promise at Carlson Bier where paralegal personnel translate legalese jargon into comprehensible language whilst maintaining bottom-line transparency about potential challenges or anticipated outcomes realistically rather than painting rosy pictures buoyed on fragile hope straws.

Imbuing confidence amidst tumultuous times necessitates more than mere reassurances – it involves aptitude for delivering phenomenal results through hard-won battles in courtrooms while preserving dignity and sanity of grieved parties turning to us as their last resort beacon shining optimism rays within gloomy corridors filled by uncertainty clouds.

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.
