About Carlson Bier

Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers in Sandoval Illinois

At Carlson Bier, your protection is our utmost priority. We understand that placing a loved one in a nursing home can be one of the most emotionally draining decisions a family can make. Trusting the nursing home and its staff with the care of someone dear to you is an act of faith. But when that trust becomes violated through actions constituting abuse or neglect, it’s critical to seek prompt legal intervention from experienced personal injury attorneys like us.

Nursing home abuse isn’t just physical—it extends into categories such as emotional trauma, sexual exploitation, financial manipulation, and gross neglect. It’s also important to note instances of self-neglect: Can inadequate care translate into residents disregarding their own personal hygiene or safety? Does it lead them to not use necessary medical aids?

– The physical indicators may include unexplained bruises or injuries, sudden weight loss due to malnutrition or dehydration.

– Signs related to emotional trauma might reveal themselves through sudden mood swings or withdrawal.

– On noticing inexplicably large withdrawals or transactions on financial accounts entrusted to the care provider’s custody—this could hint towards financial exploitation.

– Neglect manifests in numerous ways: unsanitary living conditions, bedsores owing to lack of movement management, regularly missed medication dosages are but a few examples.

Carlson Bier has systematically championed victims’ rights across Illinois for years while ensuring they get justice swiftly and effectively. Our clientele appreciates the unwavering dedication we demonstrate towards every case—no matter how convoluted or straightforward it might appear initially. Your distress resonates with us; we strive earnestly so that you and your loved ones don’t have to suffer any longer than you already have.

Fighting cases rooted in nursing home abuses requires attorneys who comprehend this unique intersection where personal injury law overlaps elder abuse laws. Our skilled team possesses extensive experience within these specialized domains. Drawing on professional expertise sharpened by numerous successful engagements, we help navigate this complicated legal terrain towards justice.

We meticulously investigate every claim to unearth irrefutable evidence that strengthens your case. While staying in constant contact with you during the progression of your lawsuit, we ensure open communication lines and regularly broadcast updates for complete transparency.

Rest assured that Carlson Bier prioritizes empathy and professionalism at each interaction. We understand the emotional toll such circumstances can inflict on victims and their families; our compassionate approach eases clients’ burdens as much as possible. To render holistic support beyond delivering exceptional legal services, we extend resources for psychological counseling to aid recovery from traumatic experiences impacting mental health adversely.

As advocates forewarning potential neglect or abuse is more potent than prosecuting after damage incurs—we’re pairing up with community leaders targeting awareness-raising about elder abuses occurring within institutional settings like nursing homes. We aim at nurturing a safer environment where elderly individuals’ dignity remains inviolate while under professional care.

It’s crucial to remember: no matter how overwhelming it feels now—you are not alone in this struggle. You have heroes willing to fight tooth and nail by your side—your champions who won’t rest till those responsible for exploiting you or your loved ones face the music.

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.
