About Carlson Bier

Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers in Rosemont Illinois

At Carlson Bier, relentlessly advocating on behalf of the vulnerable adults suffering mistreatment in nursing homes is much more than just a mission; it’s our passion. Pioneering justice as personal injury attorneys in Illinois, we strive to safeguard the rights and enhance care standards for your loved ones, while seeking maximum compensation on their behalf.

Nursing home abuse can take multiple forms and may not be immediately noticeable. Be vigilantly observant towards any physical signs – these could manifest as unexplained bruises or cuts, frequent infections, or even poor hygiene attributed to neglect. Emotional indicators are equally as important. For instance, if your kin appears fearful of certain staff members or exhibits drastic personality changes such as becoming withdrawn or exhibiting symptoms of depression, it is recommended that immediate professional attention be sought.

Our understanding at Carlson Bier extends beyond basic legal counsel; we focus on educating clients about potential monetary damages available under Illinois law in these instances of harm and neglect. This includes coverage for medical expenses resulting from injuries sustained due to negligence; compensation for pain and suffering endured by the victim alongside punitive damages imposed onto the guilty party with intent to discourage recurrent offenses.

Our team works diligently to bring visibility and accountability to corrupt practices within nursing homes across the state. Here are some concerns that deserve immediate attention:

• Undue influence: This involves manipulation of a fragile resident into making decisions against their best interests.

• Financial exploitation: Unauthorized usage/access over one’s financial resources or appropriately recognized assets.

• Medical malpractice: Misdiagnosis, incorrect medicine dosage/administration leading to deterioration of health condition.

• Physical violence: Includes battery, assault or usage of inappropriate restraining methods causing physical harm.

• Emotional/psychological abuse: Harassing or threatening remarks causing distress eventually leading to anxiety/depression.

In each scenario mentioned above, our attorney group at Carlson Bier pledges uncompromising dedication while legally representing abused victims in pursuit toward compelling justice.

Moreover, comprehending the complexities of Illinois’ nursing home laws is quite pivotal to achieve desired outcomes. A few nuances are critical for consideration: The Nursing Home Care Act in the state annuls forced arbitration clauses embedded in admission contracts allowing all claims to be heard by a jury or judge; unlike other branches of personal injury law, there isn’t any caps or restrictions on potential compensation for nursing home cases.

An expert verdict steered by our profound litigation expertise could result in lawsuits demanding thousands or even millions depending on severity and intended punitive retribution. Hence, legal representation backed by specialized insights and years of experience is undeniably invaluable ensuring your loved one’s best interests are prioritized.

At Carlson Bier, we understand the burden each case carries – financial strain, emotional turmoil and a quest for justice. Standing tall as staunch advocates against elder abuse, we leave no stone unturned ingraining an unwavering commitment towards attaining fairness.

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)

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.
