About Carlson Bier

Birth Injuries Lawyers in New Windsor Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we specialize in handling birth injury cases with the utmost sensitivity and precision. As a premier Illinois-based personal injury law firm, our primary goal is to bring comfort and justice during the most challenging times for families facing birth injuries.

In essence, birth injuries refer to the type of damage or harm an infant sustains either before, during, or shortly after delivery. This could encompass various physical injuries like bone fractures and bruises, as well as more serious conditions such as cerebral palsy or Erb’s palsy. These situations may arise due to numerous contributing factors manifesting from negligence or malpractice on part of healthcare professionals entrusted with expecting mothers’ health and safety.

The outcomes from birth injuries can be life-altering not only for affected infants but also for their families. They result in enormous medical expenses, potential emotional trauma and possible long-term care requirements that can extend through childhood into adulthood. At Carlson Bier, we firmly believe that families should never bear these burdens alone when avoidable medical errors lead to distressing situations. Our expertise ensures that those responsible are held accountable while making sure you secure sufficient compensation to cover your immediate and future needs.

By leveraging aboard-certified physician-attorney’s legal prowess here at Carlson Bier the translation of complex medical conditions into clear legal arguments becomes decidedly easier – which places us at a significant advantage over conventional attorney groups who lack this dual expertise.

• Detailed knowledge helps understand intricacies between different types/types of birth injuries

• Experience allows efficient interpretation if certain conditions could have been avoided

• Expertise ensures decisive representation against even highly qualified opposing teams

For instance, let’s consider Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE). It’s a condition resulting from oxygen deprivation leading to brain damage in newborns – potentially severe enough causing disabilities throughout a child’s life span. From determining whether there were indicators overlooked by medical personnel before labor began or uncovering lack of response during labor, Carlson Bier can dissect each detail from dense medical records to gather substantial evidence.

Misdiagnoses or incomplete diagnoses can be just as detrimental in birth injury cases. A prime example might arise when doctors assume a case of Brachial Plexus Injuries is simply a broken collarbone – paving the way for further complications if accurate diagnosis and subsequent treatment aren’t initiated immediately. Being equipped to identify such gaps through our specialized competencies sets Carlson Bier apart when pursuing your rightful claims.

We recognize that laws governing personal injury compensation differ state-wise but we’re exceptionally in tune with Illinois’s distinctive legal landscape around this niche, enabling us cater specifically towards successful litigation under these exact rules.

The layers of birthing injuries are complex; intertwined within it lies an intricate juxtaposition of legal provisions, medical terminology and emotional circumstances. It takes more than understanding law alone to advocate effectively on behalf of victims. This calls for a unique balance – one where professional acumen meets human empathy: You want trusted counsel you find at Carlson Bier.

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)

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.
