About Carlson Bier

Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers in Park City Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we are your staunch allies particularly when it comes to instances of nursing home abuse. As a respected Personal Injury Law Firm in Illinois, our expertise uniquely positions us as the preferred choice for many who seek justice on this front. In our continuous pursuit to offer you value-added content about nursing home abuse, we want to ensure that the information becomes an empowering tool in fighting abuse and injustice.

Nursing home abuse is an unacceptable yet sadly prevalent issue. It’s vital to understand that any form of neglect or harm inflicted upon residents unacceptably compromises their wellbeing and dignity. This broadly includes physical, sexual, emotional, financial abuses as well neglect itself – often reflected through lack of basic care elements such as nutrition and hygiene.

Several signs can raise suspicions regarding possible Nursing Home Abuse:

• Unexplained injuries: Bruises, fractures or burns might suggest physical mistreatment.

• Troubling behavior changes: If your loved one seems unusually stressed, anxious or depressed without a logical reason, it could result from emotional demeaning or concealment tactics.

• Neglected personal hygiene: Residents’ upkeep is a responsibility of the staff; negligence may indicate potential maltreatment.

• Frequent infections: This might indicate poor living conditions -another facet of potential negligence.

• Drastic weight loss: Sudden significant weight loss could be linked with deliberate malnutrition caused by caretaker neglect or spite.

At Carlson Bier, we firmly believe knowledge is power. Understanding what constitutes Nursing Home Abuse equips you better in recognizing if your loved ones are at risk – taking due action promptly to safeguard their rights and ensuring they receive deserved respect and care.

The determination for whether there exists legitimacy behind allegations (and consequently claims) surrounds three essential components:

• Proof of duty: The accused party had an obligation towards providing adequate caregiving.

• Breach of duty demonstrated through evidence highlighting verifiable deviation from standard practices expected within any given facility causing direct harm.

• Confirmation of verifiable harm implying that detrimental consequences resulted due to the breach encompassing physical hurt, infections or emotional trauma.

As champions of survivor legal rights, we are committed to helping you navigate through these turbulent waters. If you’ve noted potential signs of Nursing Home Abuse and can prove these components exist, our team at Carlson Bier may be able to help you establish a strong case against the perpetrators.

Legal recourse options may vary depending on circumstances – often settlements via negotiation with potentially guilty parties saving time and stress involved in court proceedings. However, if such measures fail to produce fair outcomes – filing litigation becomes necessary, ensuring justice for victims and deterrents for abusers.

It’s important to remember though; cases surrounding nursing home abuse comprise precise statute limitations (per Illinois law). Hence upon recognizing any indication of abuse, seeking immediate action is vital– bolstering possibilities for positive outcomes while avoiding expiration-related legal complications on claims validity – particularly when considering how evidence collection makes an impact on influencing courtroom decisions positively.

If you believe your loved one might be enduring nursing home abuse, don’t let your worries go unheard but take speedy action thereby ensuring their protection. Allow us at Carlson Bier- your trusted Personal Injury Law Firm based in Illinois- shoulder this cause alongside you by providing all requisite professional legal support we can muster.

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.
