About Carlson Bier

Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers in New Boston Illinois

At the prestigious law firm of Carlson Bier, we understand how personal injury affects individuals and families emotionally, physically, and financially. Every decision made can impact your wellbeing significantly. As leading attorneys in Illinois who specialize in personal injury law, our focus includes providing superior service to victims of nursing home abuse.

Nursing home abuse is a grievous violation of trust that occurs when vulnerable elderly individuals get harmed by those assigned to care for them. These abusive actions may be physical, emotional, or even financial exploitation. It’s a severe issue which needs immediate attention and legal action.

This type of maltreatment often goes unnoticed due to the victim’s inability to voice complaints due to fear or cognitive impairment. Here are some key signs of potential abuse in nursing homes you should be aware of:

• Unexplained injuries such as bruises, cuts or burns.

• Development or worsening of bedsores.

• Sudden weight loss.

• Signs of dehydration like dry mouth or cracked lips.

• Frequent illnesses due to poor care.

• Changes in behavior including withdrawal or depression.

As Carlson Bier attorneys expertly versed in this area, we follow an empathetic yet aggressive approach towards handling these sensitive cases. Our track record includes regularly securing favorable verdicts for clients affected by such gross negligence on the part of unscrupulous caregivers and nursing home operators. Being seasoned practitioners backed with extensive experience allows us powerful leverage against insurance companies and healthcare providers alike; ensuring maximum compensation for our clients.

Our role goes beyond just winning lawsuits though; it’s about restoring dignity and quality life back into those entrusted under others’ care. By diligently implicating guilty parties responsible for this inappropriate treatment we aim not only at compensating our clients monetarily but also strive towards initiating lasting changes within institutional caregiving standards set by regulatory bodies.

Above all else remember this – as someone suspecting mistreatment against a loved one residing under nursing care: you have rights, and we’re here to enforce them. Relevance in evidence gathering, filing legal actions, understanding complex nursing home laws – these are some out of many areas we excel at throughout the course of building a solid case.

It’s essential that you act promptly when suspicion arises—delay can intensify damage or even lead to unfortunate outcome. Furthermore, state law limits the time frame eligible for claiming compensation once abuse is detected within caregiving facilities. We emphasize transparency regarding our process; every phase from conducting meticulous investigations right until reaching finish line is explained thoroughly keeping victims’ families continuously updated on proceedings.

At Carlson Bier, our mission isn’t only about delivering justice; it’s about caring deeply. To prospective clients fearing negative consequences while contending against giant corporations: remember this—you aren’t alone in this fight—we’ve got your back, always!

We encourage readers proceed further by clicking on the button below—an opportunity towards understanding how much their distress is worth in monetary terms awaits! Let us help bring peace back to your loved ones’ lives by fighting against the unfairness they suffered — because seemed injustices shouldn’t stay uncorrected any longer than necessary.

As legally mandated under Illinois state law, please be advised that our physical offices reside within IL boundaries and not New Boston – implying otherwise would be inaccurate and misguiding. We respect all regulatory guidelines fearlessly documenting truth ensuring credibility remains intact throughout every stage of our operations.

Finally, allow us—the trustworthy law firm Carlson Bier—to shoulder complications alongside providing solutions via experience-backed insights connecting data dots cohesively forming an unbeatable stance on behalf of most vulnerable—because everyone deserves respectful treatment regardless where life’s journey has led.

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)

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.
