About Carlson Bier

Birth Injuries Lawyers in Rome Illinois

At Carlson Bier, our dedication to the field of personal injury law is unwavering and evident in the quality representation we deliver for victims grappling with birth injuries. As experts based in Illinois, we understand the complex legal landscape surrounding such sensitive cases and are committed to assuring you have knowledgeable guidance throughout the process.

Birth injuries encompass a broad array of complications that may occur during pregnancy, labor, or delivery. These could range from minor issues requiring minimal medical intervention to severe conditions demanding long-term care. Some common birth injuries include cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, bone fractures, oxygen deprivation brain damage (hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy), brachial plexus injuries and facial paralysis among others.

The repercussions can profoundly affect both the child’s life and their family. There might be mounting medical bills from consistent hospital visits as well as physical therapy costs. The emotional strain coupled with these financial troubles can take a toll on any family affected by birth injuries.

– It’s crucial to understand not all birth injuries are legally actionable negligence cases.

– Often they arise due to unavoidable circumstances without any party at fault.

– However, if your baby has been harmed because of healthcare professionals’ errors or negligence like incorrect use of delivery tools or failure to diagnose maternal health condition which resulted in avoidable harm; then you have every right under law to seek compensation

Navigating through this intricate sphere of law requires expert insight – something our team at Carlson Bier brings on board with over years of experience dedicated exclusively to personal injury law. Our attorneys apply their mastery in representing clients experiencing considerable adversity due to birth injuries caused via healthcare professional’s negligence.

We believe each client deserves personalized attention – detailed evaluation of individual cases ensures that we provide comprehensive advice tailored specifically for your distinctive circumstances without compromising on thoroughness or clarity.

Understanding what lies ahead is half the battle won. While it’s impossible to completely remove uncertainty associated with legal proceedings, knowing exactly what takes place at each phase of your case can bring a measure of comfort. At Carlson Bier, we walk with you through every step – decoding legalese and clear-cutting through complexities ensures that you have complete understanding, thus making informed decisions.

Securing maximum compensation promptly is our ultimate goal while maintaining empathy towards the struggles faced by the affected family members. This involves reviewing medical bills to determine various costs involved including treatment expanses to ongoing rehabilitative care, loss of future earnings due to disability, plus emotional trauma inflicted on both child and family.

Exploring successful claims require looking beyond immediate circumstances; entails examining long–term effects affiliated with birth injuries for a child’s future ability to work and earn income or live independently as an adult. The objective: assessing fair and accurate monetary value commensurate with the life-long implications borne by victims.

It’s important to understand time frames and deadlines pivotal in making valid claims otherwise known as Statutes of Limitations. In Illinois it’s typically two years from when injury occurred but may vary based on several factors – consulting professional counsel ensures no critical timing detail slips falling between cracks costing potentially significant claim.

At Carlson Bier, we recognize choosing representation isn’t easy especially in dealing with such sensitive situations like birth injuries. Confidence in your choice comes via trust built throughout attorney-client relationship – something valued tremendously thereby reflecting our steadfast commitment toward delivering sterling service without compromising integrity or compassion.

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.
