About Carlson Bier

Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Neoga Illinois

Medical malpractice is a serious concern and can have devastating implications. At the law firm of Carlson Bier, centrally located in Illinois, we are staunch advocates for victims of medical negligence. With years of experience championing the rights and interests of personal injury victims, our primary goal remains providing comprehensive legal representation to those who need it most. We understand that medical malpractice cases can be complicated due to the intertwining elements of medicine and law; however, our seasoned attorneys break down these complexities, making your journey towards justice smooth and straightforward.

In any case where you believe you’ve been harmed by negligent or careless medical treatment, it’s vital to understand what constitutes Medical Malpractice:

– Incorrect diagnosis or failure to diagnose an ailment promptly

– Failure to provide adequate care

– Unintentionally causing harm during surgery or other treatments

– Inappropriate prescription dosage or medication administration

– Ignoring patients’ history

Knowledge is power as well as preparation – Carlson Bier attorneys meticulously prepare for each case with this ethos incorporated into their strategy: understanding your unique circumstances & health-provider interactions underpins our case building approach.

What makes Carlson Bier distinctly apt at handling such cases is their commitment to personalized service coupled with meticulous groundwork. Remember–the quality of your legal counsel could make all the difference between securing fair compensation for your losses versus enduring undue financial strains. Our team engages scientific experts throughout varied medical disciplines whose acuity into specialized practices provides invaluable support during proceedings.

While filing a lawsuit might seem daunting, seeking redressal helps enforce accountability on healthcare providers while also helping prevent similar errors in the future. Furthermore, damages awarded through malpractice lawsuits take several forms including compensation for:

– Future medical bills

– Lost wages

– Pain and suffering

-Psychological distress

With healthcare costs perpetually rising alongside additional factors like lost earnings & psychological trauma from failed procedures; it’s clear that restitution amounts potentially reach significant sums.

At Carlson Bier, we believe in arming our clients with thorough knowledge and ensuring they understand their rights within the sphere of medical malpractice. However, it’s critical to comprehend one essential factor—time limitations for filing a claim, called ‘the Statute of Limitations’. In Illinois, you typically have two years from the date malpractice could reasonably have been discovered but not more than four years from when treatment occurred. It can be slightly different if the victim is a minor or mentally incapacitated: reaching out swiftly to attorneys experienced in these nuanced laws becomes consequently key.

While we navigate legal pathways fraught with intricacies and technical details successfully on your behalf; we are also committed to offering compassionate counsel – understanding that behind every case file is a human being whose life has been tragically affected by another’s negligence – lending an empathetic ear as much as providing robust defense strategies.

We invite you now to learn more about your unique situation using our interactive tool below. By investing just a few moments of your time into this separate process, which adheres steadfastly to client confidentiality guidelines while requiring absolutely no commitment on your part; you can receive preliminary feedback specific to your personal circumstances.

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)

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.
