Birth Injuries Lawyers in South Pekin Illinois

Welcome to the website of Carlson Bier, an esteemed personal injury attorney group based in Illinois. Our firm garners merit from years of skillfully navigating the complex waters of personal injury law, with particular specialty in Birth Injuries – a challenging subset within this broad spectrum. Embarking on courageous journeys to justice for families who have had their joyous occasions turned into life-altering misfortunes due to negligent medical care is at the heart of our advocacy.

Birth injuries, umbilically tied to newborns and mothers alike, encompass an array of complications that arise during childbirth which can be attributed to substandard medical care. Regardless of severity and range—from cerebral palsy resulting from skull pressure to bone fractures due to improper handling—every birth injury is worthy of redress when it manifests from professional negligence.

At Carlson Bier, we understand the way such incidents unravel:

• A momentous family occasion transformed into traumatic experience.

• Additional unforeseen medical expenses burdening your financial resources.

• Emotional anguish precipitated by the sudden change in circumstance and persistent worry for your child’s future.

Our role as Personal Injury Attorneys extends beyond flawlessly documenting legal proceedings; fundamentally, we exist to alleviate these overwhelming pressures so you and your family can focus on recovery.

How do we achieve this? Primarily through deploying our extensive legal expertise coined over decades toward ensuring that whoever failed you professionally pays for their oversight—essentially upholding justice. Furthermore, every successful claim brings about increased awareness and accountability within the healthcare sector: aiding efforts towards dawn where birth injuries are far more uncharacteristic than they currently are.

Traversing through parking lot accidents or math spins on playground slippery slides cannot realistically compare with understanding exactly what transpired giving rise to avoidable birth injure. We persistently research and update ourselves regarding contemporary practices employed in maternity care units throughout Illinois—retaining experienced external subject matter experts where necessary—to ensure we attain factual precision.

For it is only with this rigorous understanding of the healthcare domain that we can envisage patterns, trace your distinct experiences back to their root causes—however uncomfortable they may be—and subsequently present a compelling legal argument. Without identifying the underlying cause and effect, justice remains elusive.

Moreover, at Carlson Bier, we appreciate that each case is unique – just as every family is —which demands an individualized legal strategy tailored meticulously to reflect the exact circumstances encountered by our clients. This personalized pursuit toward justice not only amplifies chances of successful claims but also ensures that there’s minimal wastage in time and resources —bringing closure sooner and more comprehensively.

While you remain at liberty to entrust your interests with any personal injury lawyer or even represent yourself at court, it’s crucial to remember: The labyrinthine encompassment within birth injuries necessitates seasoned professionals like us who can guide you skilfully through medical terminology-laden legal documents and complex litigation roadmaps which often bewilder unexperienced individuals.

Consequently, don’t allow anyone to belittle your concerns nor withdraw into despairing resignation due to fear—the moment you comprehend something doesn’t feel right about how events unfolded during childbirth—it might be substantial negligence evinced by medical professionals. Let us be your voice in demanding justice for these traumatic depravities; Carlson Bier exists for exactly such purpose—upholding your rights no matter the odds because everyone deserves excellence during their most sensitive moments in life.

Your experience need not culminate merely in acknowledgment of personal tragedy; transform it into potent precautionary tale others learn from—an impetus prompting maternity care units across Illinois towards safer and superior practices—as evidenced by numbers indicating significant drop in occurrences post successful compensation claim cases.

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.
