About Carlson Bier

Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers in Roseville Illinois

At the reputable law firm of Carlson Bier, we’re keenly aware that the decision to place a loved one in a nursing home is never made lightly. Trusting other people with the health and well-being of someone close to you can be difficult. It becomes all the more distressing when trust is violated through acts of neglect or abuse. Our dedicated attorneys are highly specialized in navigating litigation surrounding Nursing Home Abuse in Illinois, aiming to bring justice by holding wrongdoers accountable.

One of our core missions at Carlson Bier is educating clients about various aspects related to Nursing Home Abuse. We believe that understanding these important facets can empower families and victims alike, thereby setting a foundation for informed decisions going forward. To this end:

• Recognize the signs: Unusual bruising, rapid weight loss, frequent infections, bedsores, behavioral changes or general unexplained illness may hint towards abuse.

• Understand its types: Abuse is not limited solely to physical harm – it includes emotional mistreatment like belittling or threatening; financial exploitation such as unauthorized use of funds; neglect where nutritional needs, hygiene or medication regimen are ignored.

• Legislation Protection: The laws governing elder care facilities have specific provisions protecting residents from varying forms of maltreatment – knowledge about these rights can arm individuals with vital legal information during trying times.

Taking prompt action upon suspicion can prove critical – swiftly report your concerns to local authorities who will then conduct an independent investigation into any viable claims.

With Carlson Bier’s strong foothold in Illinois’ legal landscape coupled with our indomitable passion for championing victims’ rights within personal injury law context, you’re ensured professional representation backed by deep regional insight. This expertise proves invaluable when tackling complex nuances inherent within cases involving nursing home abuses which tends to differ markedly on a jurisdictional basis.

We understand how emotionally challenging it might be dealing with situations involving potential negligent care inflicted on vulnerable seniors. At Carlson Bier, your pain and apprehension are not just case details – they matter to us. Adroit in interpreting relevant medical reports, financial documents or developing an effective litigation strategy by collaborating with experienced investigators, our team takes a holistic approach to every case.

Engaging a competent Personal Injury Attorney early on can radically influence the trajectory of abuse claims – we aim at unearthing potential systemic negligence troubling our client’s situation rather than strictly focusing on isolated incidents. We prioritize countering any undue harm perpetrated by Insurance companies who often resort to dismissive tactics aimed at reducing claims’ value regardless of merit.

At Carlson Bier, we don’t just fight for your rights in court; we steadfastly advocate for real change within nursing home care settings across Illinois through continuous dialogue with regulatory bodies and stakeholders alike besides ensuring victims of abuse get the compensation they deserve.

Injured individuals pursuing abuse cases seldom have the luxury of time – delays often decimate valid claims as essential evidence fades with passing weeks thus making prompt legal representation absolutely critical. Every case involving injury carries its unique calculation for assessing damages which are intrinsically linked to specific losses associated – striving to recover these losses alone might not fully capture the incurred damage magnitude thereby significantly undervaluing such claims.

The largest estimation variable attached with personal injury settlements revolves around quantifying non-economic damages like emotional trauma, stress or loss of enjoyment in life – armed with powerful negotiation skills honed over years spent grappling complex abuse cases played out within strategic courtroom battles coupled with deep empathy towards client’s plight: our attorneys bring considerable force behind every claim handled lending it sharp precision required navigating volatile negotiations typically characterizing mediations involved concluding such settlements.

Your journey towards justice should start today! It is integral that you take timely action on potential Nursing Home Abuse situations in order to safeguard your loved ones while effectively securing their legal rights.

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.
