About Carlson Bier

Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Park City Illinois

Medical malpractice is a legal predicament that demands an in-depth understanding, meticulous attention to detail, and extensive experience in law. As specialists in the field of personal injury law, at Carlson Bier, we strive for excellence in representing victims of medical malpractice across Illinois. Our mission: offer reliable information and deliver personalized solutions designed to get you the justice you deserve.

Medical malpractice occurs when a negligent action or omission by a healthcare professional results in patient harm or damage. Discovering if your situation qualifies as a legitimate claim can often be difficult; our team at Carlson Bier stands ready to provide their expertise and comprehensively evaluate your case. Given the complexity of these types of cases, which often involve intricate medical concepts and technical language, educating oneself about what constitutes malpractice is advisable.

• Negligence: A core factor that differentiates an unfortunate outcome from genuine medical negligence lies primarily on proving that the standard care was breached by the physicians.

• Informed consent: Patients have a legal right to understand what treatment they will receive along with its potential risks. If this right has been violated, it could lead to liability for harm caused.

• Direct causation: It’s critical to demonstrate how such negligence directly caused or contributed significantly towards causing any form of injury or harm.

The process can indeed seem daunting—yet we are committed to alleviating anxiety associated with navigating these legal undertakings by equipping you with relevant knowledge essential for informed decision-making. Your tragedy should not be further exacerbated due to lack of factual clarity or justice being served.

We believe that building trust through transparent communication is vital. Our approach includes keeping our clients apprised consistently about every step throughout their case proceedings combined with delivering unambiguous advice aimed at achieving best possible outcomes.

However, it’s crucial remembering this truth–not all unfortunate instances qualify legally as malpractice. Factors like unsatisfactory results after surgeries do not always signal negligence or malpractice—it is essential to discern if faulty medical performance was indeed the root cause. In such evaluations, our experienced legal team can offer their invaluable expertise.

The statute of limitations for medical malpractice cases in Illinois is generally two years from the date of discovering your injury. However, each case is unique and may have different timelines. Consequently, don’t let uncertainty surrounding timeframes prevent you from seeking assistance—we’ll help clarify these specifics tailored to your circumstances.

Knowing what compensation looks like in a medical malpractice verdict is equally as pivotal. Potential claimants might be eligible for various types of damages—economic losses which cover monetary losses like lost earnings and current and future healthcare costs; non-economic damages that compensate for pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment etc.; punitive damages intended to punish egregious conduct by defendants.

It’s worth noting every journey towards securing fair compensation isn’t always straightforward. The ability to present vital evidence convincingly, argue with opposed viewpoints cogently—these skills are within your grasp through our firm’s expertise catering specifically to this category of personal injury law.

To ensure maximum chances at success in an oft-times hard-fought arena requires legal representation that places your best interests paramountly above all else. At Carlson Bier, rest assured knowing we take nothing lightly when it comes to safeguarding rightful justice deserving victims of medical malpractice rightfully deserve.

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.

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.
