About Carlson Bier

Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Robinson Illinois

As a leading law firm specializing in personal injury cases, Carlson Bier has been tirelessly advocating for the rights and interests of people who have incurred serious harm due to medical malpractice throughout Illinois. Our qualified team of attorneys offers comprehensive legal assistance to provide recourse to individuals struggling with health issues originating from medical negligence or misconduct.

Medical malpractice is an alarming reality in contemporary healthcare practice that occurs when a healthcare provider diverges from established norms in treatment procedures leading to patient harm. It encompasses various instances ranging from surgical errors, misdiagnoses, inadequate supervision to inappropriate medication or dosage amongst other reasons.

To understand better its intricacies, we delve into key aspects related to medical malpractice:

• Duty of care: Medical professionals owe their patients what is known as “duty of care”. This essentially implies providing standard and appropriate care comparable with what any reasonably cautious professional would offer under similar circumstances.

• Breach of duty: If this ‘duty’ gets violated causing undue suffering because the health provider didn’t adhere to necessary standards; it’s considered as a breach of duty.

• Causation and harm: An integral part of any successful med-mal claim involves establishing undeniable evidence between this breach and resultant harm. Moreover, the damage must also be quantifiable legally—an emotional response alone usually doesn’t constitute valid grounds for claim.

Overcoming these hurdles requires mastery over both law and medicine—a combination of expertise that Carlson Bier provides. We undertake an intensive investigation which includes consulting top-notch medical experts across fields binding complex data resulting in strong evidentiary groundwork for your case’s success.

The time constraints regarding filing a lawsuit are critical in such matters too—the Statute of Limitations laid down by Illinois is typically two years post-injury/discovery but can extend based on specific scenarios. Many victims unaware about this end up forfeiting their right to pursue justice—so don’t let that happen!

Navigating through medical malpractice law can be daunting without assured assistance—though it’s important to remember that every case is unique; requiring tailor-made strategies. At Carlson Bier, our attorneys measure probabilities, get real about available options, and eagle-eye those overlooked details which significantly impact outcomes.

Our approach isn’t simply restricted for fighting fortuitously for your cause —it aligns with providing personalized attention because we empathize with the turmoil such negligence induces. Our combined legal-lifeline strategy manifests in our thorough understanding of medical malpractice intricately intertwined with an impassioned commitment towards victims’ rights.

The damages attributable to medical malpractice cases are categorized principally into special damages covering specific calculable losses (like lost wages or medical bills) and general non-economic ones including disfigurement, loss of consortium or diminished life quality—which prove arduous in valuation due to their subjective nature—with Illinois placing no cap on these whilst determining compensation henceforth from 2010 (Lebron v. Gottlieb Memorial Hospital).

Partnering with Carlson Bier translates into entrusting a distinguished firm pounding years of ground-legal combat experience compounded by compassionate client care—a fitting ally in your potentially turbulent journey towards rightful justice. We avail services based on contingency fees—meaning you’re not obliged financially until receiving compensation; exemplifying our core belief that seeking justice shouldn’t succumb under monetary pressure.

In an arena dominated by formidable insurance companies and bureaucratic complexities, let us serve as your guiding beacon through trying times. Trust us with all things legal while you focus solely on recuperation—for when brilliance blends benevolence miracles happen!

Overwhelmed but curious—anxiously wondering how this impinges upon you? We are here! Take a step closer through clicking the button below now! Discover today what rightful compensation deservedly sums up for your pain—in tangible dollars courtesy Carlson Bier’s resources charged for recovery maximization promptly at play.

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.
