About Carlson Bier

Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers in Tamaroa Illinois

At the illustrious law firm, Carlson Bier, our stellar team of personal injury attorneys specializes in nursing home abuse cases. We are passionate advocates seeking justice for vulnerable senior citizens residing across Illinois. Our seasoned lawyers understand the devastating impact nursing home abuse has on its victims and their loved ones – emotionally, physically, and financially.

Nursing home residents have legally protected rights, including but not limited to freedom from physical, verbal, sexual and emotional abuse as well as neglect and financial exploitation. Common signs of these deplorable acts include unexplained injuries or bruises; frequent infections; weight loss; abnormal withdrawal from normal activities or social interactions; sudden changes in financial situation; personnel unwilling to leave resident alone with visitors. Despite attempts by regulatory bodies to minimize nursing home abuses, they sadly continue unabated.

At Carlson Bier, we diligently fight for restitution and remedy against perpetrators while ameliorating the strain such a traumatic experience places on families. With deep expertise derived from years of handling similar cases efficiently around Illinois (but not Tamaroa), you can trust that we deploy intensive investigatory litigation approaches in every case.

Our legal services commence with a comprehensive assessment of potential claims based on factual details surrounding your case. In other words:

– Physical abuse: This encompasses actions causing bodily harm such as slapping, shoving or inappropriate restraint.

– Emotional abuse: Acts inflict emotional pain or distress like humiliation, intimidation or isolation measures.

– Financial exploitation: Unlawful misappropriation of a senior’s finances is also considered an act of abuse.

– Neglect: Failure to provide basic necessities like food, medication or assistive devices constitutes neglect.

Nursing homes owe their residents a high level of medical care ensuring safety at all times; when unfortunately this isn’t met leading to illness or injuries due to negligence–it’s tantamount to profound betrayal deserving serious accountability measures in courtrooms.

Carlson Bier addresses it by leveraging a robust network of expert witnesses to validate negligence, neglect or abuse contributing to the harm’s occurrence. Positioning indisputable facts against errant parties ensures substantial compensation commensurate with incurred damages such as medical treatments, physical therapy, and professional caregiver expenses. Furthermore, alleviation for emotional suffering inducing pain, distress, depression is sought while punitive sanctions serve to discourage similar future occurrences within nursing homes.

Nobody should endure nursing home malfeasance in silence! Your struggle becomes our shared mission in the pursuit of justice. At Carlson Bier we believe steadfastly that everyone deserves respectful treatment and fair recourse when dignity has been dishonored through egregious acts of abuse by those entrusted with care-roles.

We’d like every victim apprehensive about seeking assistance due to financial constraints to feel encouraged knowing that Carlson Bier operates on a contingency basis.

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. 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.
