About Carlson Bier

Birth Injuries Lawyers in Peru Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we believe that every parent should have peace of mind as they welcome their new bundle of joy into the world. It is our commitment to ensure that this process remains as smooth as possible, and when it does not, we are here to fight for your rights. We understand that birth injuries can be an overwhelming emotional burden on families—a burden intensified by financial stress and ongoing medical needs. Birth injuries are preventable incidents that occur due to medical negligence before or during delivery.

It is crucial to dust off myths about birth injuries and truly grasp the underlying causes, types, symptoms, prevention measures as well as potential future impacts on children’s lives. Often tied back to avoidable errors in obstetrical care such as neglecting fetal distress signals or improper use of forceps can result in traumatic impact leading toward conditions like Cerebral Palsy, Erb’s Palsy or Brachial Plexus Injuries.

Key points you’ll want to consider include:

• The various forms these injuries might take — Physical trauma may appear immediately at birth; while neurologically-linked issues like learning disabilities or behavioral problems often surface later.

• Recognizing signs early — Common symptoms embrace slow developmental growth, seizures or physical deformities which imply a necessity for immediate professional help.

• Unraveling the prevention blueprint — Most birth injuries could have been evaded with fair prenatal care including routine check-ups & proper monitoring during pregnancy.

Every child conscripted into this traumatic experience deserves justice for the lifelong challenges thrust upon them without consent. At Carlson Bier, we intend to bring accountability where it is severely needed by representing injured babies and providing committed guidance culminating in best potential legal solutions available under Illinois law.

On another note, sometimes deciphering whether your child has experienced a birth injury becomes complex—negligence is not always apparent immediately after a baby’s birth., Hence if there is any suspicion around negligent behavior, it’s essential to act promptly. Our dedicated team works tirelessly in achieving just compensation for every afflicted family and is driven by the understanding of immense toll these events take on a child’s future as well as parental lives entailing emotional trauma and financial strain.

Time becomes the essence when dealing with birth injury lawsuits because Illinois law restricts the amount of time you have to file an action. The statute of limitations may apply differently depending upon your case specifics or even sometimes extend beyond ordinary parameters based upon factors such as discovery rule necessitating call for professional counsel to understand which course aligns best with your situation.

Carlson Bier caters to this exact need, providing comprehensive direction through an immensely stressful phase. We believe in uplifting distressed families by serving justice above all else and drawing satisfaction from bringing light into their dimmed universes because every parent deserves the right to watch their kids leading normal childhood lives filled with laughter instead of constant hospital visits.

We also provide contingency fee-based services meaning we only charge if we win your case which ensures that quality legal help remains accessible regardless of financial constraints you may be facing currently.

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. 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.
