About Carlson Bier

Medical Malpractice Lawyers in New Berlin Illinois

At Carlson Bier, your trusted personal injury attorneys in Illinois, we specialize in curating strategic and effective approaches for cases involving Medical Malpractice. Every year, a myriad of individuals find their lives disrupted or irrevocably devastated by medical malpractice incidents. Still, many remain uninformed about the legal recourse available to them. As dedicated personal injury attorneys, we strive to bridge this gap through educating our clients and offering the dependable legal support needed during such difficult times.

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from established standards in the medical community, causing harm or death to a patient. Various scenarios can qualify as medical malpractice; some prime examples include surgical errors, incorrect medication administration or dosage, misdiagnosis which leads to improper treatment, childbirth injuries caused by negligence among others. Each situation carries its unique set of complexities and demands unraveled by experienced personal injury professionals like us at Carlson Bier – your source for knowledgeable counsel on such matters.

Importantly understanding medical malpractice can be distinguished through four essential conditions that must all converge to constitute a legitimate case of malpractice legally:

– Demonstrable patient-doctor relationship: There has to be an express agreement where the healthcare provider promised care or treatment.

– Negligence: It must be proven that a doctor was negligent in diagnosis or treatment.

– Harm: The negligence resulted in causing harm or injury.

– Injury led to specific damages: Mental anguish, physical pain or loss of earning capacity are consequences warranting compensation under law.

A recurrent myth is that medical error only becomes apparent right after it happens – but quite often symptoms materialize over time rather than instantly following surgery or medication-related mishap. Hence if you believe you have been victimized due to potential physician neglect don’t postpone seeking competent legal advice as delayed action might bar claims owing to statutory constraints.

At Carlson Bier not only do we provide exhaustive consultation regarding intricacies involved around medical malpractice, but we also work tirelessly to ensure you’re compensated fairly. We understand the emotional, physical, and financial burden of medical errors on victims and their families. That’s why we’re committed to passionately advocating for your interests against insurance companies who much too often brush aside such legitimate claims under the guise of policy technicalities.

Our attorneys are trained meticulously to interpret medical reports, consult with health care professionals and navigate through labyrinthine laws governing malpractice suits. Any individual affected by presumed medical negligence shouldn’t have to go alone in pursuit of justice – a process made easy at Carlson Bier where by utilizing our extensive resources we can challenge daunting legal complexities ensuring that you receive righteous compensation merited for personal suffering or loss ensued due to medical malpractice.

Embedded deep within our work culture is an unwavering commitment towards illuminating every client about what constitutes legally eligible medical malpractice claim alongside proponents essential in developing robust case arguments,. Most importantly we aim to provide clarity during disorienting circumstances born out of unfortunate turnabouts which might cloud judgment when it matters most – during phases required to make significant decisions around pursuing rightful damages.

Evaluating the strength and worthiness of a potential Medical Malpractice lawsuit could be overwhelming without professional guidance from seasoned attorneys like us. With years of expertise accrued across countless similar situations, we stand poised at Carlson Bier ready in assisting decisive evaluation helping determine whether your situation qualifies as actionable Medical Malpractice— guided by Illinois law —and seek appropriate remuneration should it be deemed fit.

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.
