About Carlson Bier

Birth Injuries Lawyers in Roanoke Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we are reputed for providing dedicated and robust legal support to individuals who have had the misfortune of suffering personal injuries due to the negligence or lack of care from others. Based in Illinois, our expertise extends specifically into cases involving birth injuries – a complex field that requires resourceful navigation.

A birth injury might occur under various circumstances; it could be as a direct result of medical malpractice during delivery or even related to undiagnosed prenatal conditions contributed by negligent healthcare professionals. The impact of these injuries often gives way to lifelong complications for your child – physical ailments, developmental disabilities or cognitive issues being the most common manifestations.

• Medical Malpractice: This can involve any form of negligence by healthcare professionals contributing directly to a birth injury. Examples include inadequate monitoring during delivery causing oxygen deprivation which could lead to brain damage; improper usage of birthing tools leading to fractured bones; delay in performing necessary cesarean sections resulting in avoidable distress.

• Prenatal Care Negligence: Healthcare providers are responsible for closely monitoring expectant mothers and their unborn children throughout the pregnancy. Failure in diagnosing potential threats like gestational diabetes or preeclampsia, or not addressing risks associated with large babies, multiple births etc., can lead to serious birth injuries.

However challenging this path may seem right now, you do not have to tread on it alone. At Carlson Bier, our personal injury attorneys share a deep-seated commitment towards helping families seek justice against such wrongdoing and secure fair compensation for faced difficulties.

We understand the bitterness that accompanies knowing that your child’s pain was preventable and imagine the mounting costs incurred due to sustained medical treatments and therapies now required for aiding your loved one’s survival. Ensuring financial balance whilst safeguarding their future is where our expert team steps into action – relentlessly working towards upholding your rights as bereaved parents/guardians under Illinois law.

Birth injury lawsuits are intrinsically complex with medical nuances that need careful interpretation and legalities that demand thorough understanding. Our skilled attorneys can meticulously dissect each case towards unearthing the truth – whether it involves unravelling tangled network of medical records, collaborating with medical experts for analyzing possible alternate care routes which could have avoided the injury, establishing clear lines of duty breach by healthcare providers, quantifying probable damage claims based on factual data or outlining future expense predictions to secure maximum compensation.

Behind every successful lawsuit, lies a precise strategic approach – something promised to you by our adept legal counsel at Carlson Bier. This includes:

• Determining Liability: Our attorneys will guide in identifying who was responsible for your child’s birth injury, from doctors to midwives to hospitals themselves.

• Highlighting Evidence: Key pieces of all important documentation such as medical reports, witness statements etc., will be collated together structuring your strong claim.

• Building Your Case: The crux being retrieving financial reparation against those proved liable for the birth injuries suffered.

Collating necessary documentation might seem ominous; let us assist in making this journey smoother while ensuring you receive reliable support during this tumultuous period. Garnering comprehensive knowledge about birth injuries and their associated legal procedures is only a fraction of the value we aim to provide here at Carlson Bier.

Our personal commitment extends beyond just winning cases; our mission embraces providing empathic assistance while we traverse these demanding terrains together. For an extension of expert guidance intertwined within the complexities of birth injury laws in Illinois, anchor your trust in Carlson Bier – where clients aren’t merely cases but rather individuals whose fights become ours.

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.
