About Carlson Bier

Birth Injuries Lawyers in Pullman Illinois

Carlson Bier is an esteemed law firm in Illinois, specializing in Personal Injury Law with a unique focus on Birth Injuries. Acknowledging the complexities of childbirth and the potential for numerous complications that could result in injuries to both mother and child, our primary aim is providing legal support for affected families seeking justice.

Birth injuries encompass any form of harm suffered by a newborn during pregnancy or as a direct result of labor and delivery proceedings. These damages can generate life-altering conditions which may permanently affect the child’s quality of life. The consequences manifest not just physically but emotionally, financially, and psychologically as well due to intensive rehabilitation treatments, constant caregiving needs and medical expenses pertaining to lifelong care.

A variety of causes can be responsible for birth injuries ranging from obstetrical malpractice like improper use of delivery tools and delayed C-sections to failure in detecting prenatal conditions leading up severe complications. Other avoidable factors include misjudgments made under pressure inducing strain or stress injurious to a fetus’s fragile body.

At Carlson Bier, we believe that no family should have to bear alone the burden resulted from these preventable actions or negligence. Our proficient team stands prepared to assertively advocate for your rights ensuring culpable parties are held accountable while striving to secure maximum compensation possible on your behalf.

• Mismanagement during Labor: Were there slips-ups such as delays in performing necessary C-sections, misuse of forceps or vacuum extractors resulting in infant harm?

• Failure To Timely Identify And Respond Exigent Prenatal Conditions: Did professionals fail diagnosing gestational diabetes? Or perhaps did they overlook signs pointing towards oxygen deprivation?

We understand these intricate questions create confusion; hence our expert attorneys meticulously scrutinize each case’s specifics discerning all nuances obtaining pertinent evidence strengthening your claim.

It’s essential realizing birth injury cases adhere strictly subjected timeframes within which claims must lodged – known legally as Statute Limitations. If this window elapses without filing a suit, launching further legal action may be impossible. Therefore, acting promptly is paramount.

At Carlson Bier, we undertake comprehensive evaluations understanding your case’s unique parameters and arm you with essential information enabling informed decisions about adopting the right legal course.

Each birth injury case presents complex medico-legal dimensions which require multifaceted understanding of both medical principles and legal jurisdiction. Our seasoned attorneys possess this dual expertise hence their strategic approach ensures favorable outcomes consistently thereby bringing peace to families navigating these tumultuous times.

Moreover, our pledge incorporates more than just professional representation; it extends toward genuine empathy understanding the distress accompanying such situations. Our compassionate approach reflects in how diligently economists strategize compensation claims aiming not only at covering past & present expenses but providing for future costs as well pertaining to treatments, rehabilitative services and assistive devices.

We identify that financial limitations often deter victims from pursuing rightful claims. Thus since inception, our policy at Carlson Bier remains straightforward – No Win-No Fee. Essentially clients are not liable paying attorney fees unless we secure victory acquiring compensations.

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.

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)

AAA Aerostar, Inc., 294 Ill.App.3d 801, 229 Ill.Dec. 20, 690 N.E.2d 1067, and Cincinnati Insurance Co. v.
