About Carlson Bier

Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Newton Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we acknowledge the complexities entailed in tainted medical care procedures. Our Illinois-based personal injury attorney group is exceptionally equipped to handle any issues related to Medical Malpractice and guarantee recognition of your rights by ensuring fair compensation for any injustices experienced.

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional breaches his or her duty of care towards patients, leading to harm or damage. Since a patient engages a doctor under implicit trust towards their practices, this breach can lead to severe complications including long-term effects, life-altering injuries and even fatalities. At Carlson Bier, our commitment to achieving justice remains critical; unravaled attention is given to every intricate detail attached to our client’s case.

Understanding how these incidents happen provides an excellent resource in preventing them from happening again and taking measures should you find yourself involved in such situations. Healthcare professionals may fail in adequately diagnosing ailments or treating conditions leading up to crippling consequences on the patient’s side. For instance,

• Inappropriately administered medication could escalate symptoms or spur allergic reactions.

• Surgical errors might surface due to incorrect procedures adopted during operations.

• Poor sanitary conditions within hospitals contribute significantly towards Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs), contributing largely to overall health degradation.

Furthermore, lack of informed consent before beginning treatment can also give rise to potential malpractice suits if patients find themselves unprepared for consequences arising from certain therapeutic interventions. A common myth persists around the notion that all negative outcomes emanating from medical treatments amounting as malpractices — that is not always true! Only in instances where clearly established standards are overlooked does it indeed become a matter of legal intervention.

Amongst countless law firms offering personal injury attorney services in Illinois, what sets us apart at Carlson Bier? Undoubtedly it is our approach; each unique case undergoes meticulous scrutiny before devising tailored strategies aimed at preserving clients’ interests alongside maintaining steadfast professionalism throughout our mutual engagement journey. Moreover,

• Expert Insight — Our vast experience in dealing with medical malpractice cases enables us to impart valuable knowledge while formulating the most effective legal arguments.

• Customized Attention — Every client is treated as an individual and the diagnoses, treatments, outcomes and other related intricacies are cross-examined rigorously.

• Honesty & Transparency — We guide you through every step of this complex process ensuring you understand the merits and challenges associated with your case.

Rest assured our dedicated team works relentlessly meeting deadlines, collating evidence, interviewing concerned parties, speaking to expert witnesses, all contributing towards a sturdy case favoring our clients. The ultimate goal remains unaltered – adequate compensation for damages suffered pivoting towards swift recovery devoided of stresses concerning financial constraints imposed due to negligent practices.

Placing trust in an attorney following distressful events can cause further emotional upheaval; alleviating such anxieties forms another core commitment here at Carlson Bier. Realizing that some things remain irreplaceable hence underscoring the importance in extracting justice without compromising on ethical boundaries forms another critical dimension. Being well-versed not just with Illinois legislations but also nationwide mandates governing Medical Malpractices equips us appropriately offering comprehensive advice closing unnecessary possible loopholes.

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.
