About Carlson Bier

Birth Injuries Lawyers in Roselle Illinois

Birth injuries are unfortunately a traumatic event that can bring overwhelming emotional and financial stress to an entire family. At Carlson Bier, we sympathize with those who have been forced to navigate this scenario and strive tirelessly to provide the responsive legal advocacy needed in such life-altering circumstances. Our personal injury attorneys embody more than just abstract understanding, but also years of experience in representing birth injury matters in Illinois.

A birth injury often implies any form of harm or damage instigated before, during, or right after childbirth. It’s crucial to underscore that causation plays a vital role here which essentially means proving the doctor, nurse, or other healthcare professional acted negligently leading to preventable physical trauma during childbirth.

Many factors contribute towards the cause of birth injuries which primarily include oxygen deprivation, excessive force during delivery process & improper use of medical equipment among others. Delving into specifics:

– Oxygen Deprivation: A baby can sustain varying levels of brain damage if he/she has been deprived of oxygen for an extended period during child-birth.

– Excessive Force: When improper techniques are utilized or excessive force is exerted while delivering the child it could lead to certain physical traumas like fractures and brachial plexus injuries.

– Improper Usage Of Medical Equipment: Damaging consequences can occur when tools like vacuum extractors and forceps aren’t used skillfully by medical professionals.

Even though many birth injuries may heal within a few weeks without causing permanent damage, there still exists specific injuries that might culminate into long-lasting health issues such as Cerebral Palsy; Erb’s Palsy; Hypoxic Ischaemic Encephalopathy (HIE) etcetera – each carrying their own set of debilitating complications impacting both the child and their family’s quality of life in numerous ways.

At Carlson Bier, our adept team exhaustively reviews each case’s intricate details – aligning them with standard medical practices and applying statutes specific to Illinois. Our goal is not merely establishing liability, but also rigorously pushing for the maximum compensation that our clients deserve in order to aid them in meeting their child’s immediate and ongoing medical needs.

Our attorney group takes pride in consistently putting clients’ requirements above everything else. Along these lines, we conduct a comprehensive analysis outlining every aspect of your case: from medical costs; loss of income; physical and emotional trauma – you can trust on us to ensure no stone stays unturned while deriving a claim.

We firmly believe every litigant should be empowered with knowledge enabling them to make informed decisions regarding legal action. We stand ready to answer any questions related to birth injury claims, available remedies or just acquainting you with the general scope of personal injury law in Illinois.

It’s been an immense honor being capable of delivering excellence within the confusing landscape of personal injury law for families impacted by birth injuries across Illinois. Carlson Bier aims at upholding this privilege giving each client a personalized experience supplemented with unswerving dedication towards their cause ensuring justice isn’t just conferred but celebrated.

If you think someone’s negligent actions resulted in birthing complications leading to life-long ramifications for your child, then as distressing as it might sound- it’s essential not wasting time contemplating whether or not navigate through the complex maze that constitutes Personal Injury Law. The Illinois legal system sets strict deadlines (known as Statute Of Limitations) within which one must file their lawsuit claim – missing this timeframe could lead towards losing out on potential financial compensation altogether.

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.
