Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers in Piper City Illinois

As experts in personal injury law, the esteemed team at Carlson Bier understand the distressing complexities of nursing home abuse cases. It is a grievous situation that many families have to grapple with when their loved ones no longer receive the care, respect, and dignity they deserve. Our mission is to protect your family by providing aggressive representation supported by thorough legal research and meticulous attention to detail.

Through decades of experience serving Illinois residents, we’ve seen first-hand how under-reported yet widespread instances of nursing home abuse are. Alarmingly, it’s often inflicted upon those most vulnerable – our seniors who should be enjoying their twilight years in peace instead of fearing for their safety and well-being.

Nursing Home Abuse can manifest itself through myriad forms:

– Physical Harm: This includes unexplained bruises or wounds.

– Emotional Trauma: Constant fear, depression symptoms or sudden mood swings may indicate psychological abuse.

– Negligence: Indications such as bed sores, malnutrition or dehydration exemplify negligent caregiving.

– Exploitation: Unauthorized use or manipulation of an elder’s finances counts under this type of misuse.

Nobody deserves such ill-treatment, least of all someone who may not be capable enough to defend themselves against their abusers – which is why you need strong advocacy from trusted legal professionals like us at Carlson Bier.

Our sophisticated understanding allows us to delve into the intricacies surrounding these delicate claims. A strong case necessitates solid evidence; hence we work diligently to collect all necessary proof like medical records indicating neglect or physical harm and eyewitness testimonies identifying violence. Furthermore, we collaborate with experts from various fields including healthcare professionals and social services workers for comprehensive insights that fortify arguments whilst making them irrefutable.

Favorably resolving a successful lawsuit requires dedication plus a nuanced grasp over state-specific laws governing elder-care facilities – knowledge gained from lengthy practice spanning multiple jurisdictions within Illinois exclusively. Thus though Carlson Bier does not possess a physical office in Piper City or anywhere else outside of Illinois, our illustrious track record speaks for itself. We make certain that rightful compensation – covering everything from medical costs to pain and suffering is delivered to our clients while ensuring the offending parties are brought to justice.

Remember, it’s not just about salvaging the dignity of someone you love dearly, but also sending out a clear message – nursing home abuse shall not be tolerated under any circumstance! It makes people take notice while inspiring change across elder-care homes so they seriously reconsider their methods before facing stringent repercussions as per state law provisions.

Ultimately you’re safeguarding against any perpetrator exploiting what protections laws offer them, instead bringing their atrocious misconduct to light thereby preventing others from sharing an equally tragic fate. Yet obtaining this requires assistance only seasoned legal professionals such as those at Carlson Bier can render proficiently based on remarkable expertise gained through years of practice.

It is crucial now more than ever to act decisively, for time is key when considering evidential value along with maintaining rule adherence over specific statutes of limitation.

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.
