About Carlson Bier

Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Poplar Grove Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we specialize as personal injury attorneys in Illinois with a specific emphasis on advocating for victims of medical malpractice. It is our mission to protect your rights and ensure you get the justice you deserve. Medical malpractice represents an unfortunate breach in the requisite trust patients place in healthcare professionals’ hands when they entrust them with their wellbeing.

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to follow standard procedures, causing harm or injury to the patient. The fallout can range from minor injuries that require extra treatment, all the way up to severe repercussions like permanent disabilities or even death. Disconcertingly, this constitutes one of the leading causes of deaths in America today.

Our focus at Carlson Bier lies particularly within these four types of medical malpractice:

1. Misdiagnosis: When doctors fail accurately to identify diseases or illnesses.

2. Surgical errors: These occur during surgery; mistakes vary from operating on wrong body parts to leaving surgical tools inside a patient.

3. Childbirth injuries: Such cases involve injuries sustained by infants during birth due to negligence.

4. Medication errors: This includes incorrect drug prescriptions or incorrect administration routes.

We believe giving potential clients an understanding of possible signs that may indicate medical malpractice aids significantly in empowering them through knowledge:

– If your symptoms persist even after starting treatment

– Unexplained or unexpected results

– If you deteriorate rather than improve following therapy

Navigating yourself through the murky waters post-medical-malpractice can be daunting; having compassionate yet relentless advocates such as Carlson Bier by your side can make all the difference!

Three pillars guide us at Carlson Bier – Truthfulness, Tirelessness, and Tenacity:

– We value transparency with our clients throughout every step of what can often become lengthy proceedings.

– We work tirelessly because we understand lives are hanging in delicate balance – potentially irreversible damage could occur if discrepancies aren’t addressed timeously.

– Our tenacity sets us apart because we will stop at nothing in our pursuit for justice to be served.

We are also proud to have a no-win, no-fee policy here at Carlson Bier. We make sure that our clients’ interests come first, and thus, we don’t charge any legal fees if there is not a favorable result from your case.

Our track record consists of hundreds of satisfied clients whose faith in the healthcare system was reestablished due to successful settlements on medical malpractice cases. We have helped them reclaim not just monetary compensation but also their trust in institutions designed to protect them.

Myriad complexities underpin each individual’s circumstances when dealing with medical malpractice litigation – this is why it remains crucial for you (the patient) or affected parties always being represented by competent, trustworthy professionals, who specialize exclusively within medical malpractice law – exactly what we offer at Carlson Bier!

Remember: If you or someone you love has been a victim of medical negligence and suffered injury as a consequence thereof – time becomes of the essence!

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.

  • Unexplained injuries: This could include injuries that occurred during surgery or injuries that were not properly treated.
  • Worsening condition: If a patient’s condition worsens after receiving medical care, it may be a sign of medical malpractice.
