About Carlson Bier

Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Tilton Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we are devoted to advocating for those who have been adversely affected by medical malpractice. As experienced Illinois-based personal injury attorneys, our firm holds a deep understanding of medical malpractice claims and their implications on the livelihoods of victims.

Negligence in healthcare can transpire in several ways — misdiagnosis, incorrect treatment, surgical errors, medication mistakes or even improper aftercare. If you believe you or a loved one has suffered from any of these medical malpractices at the hands of a health care professional, it is essential to understand your rights.

• Misdiagnosis: Misdiagnoses or delay in diagnosis that results in inadequate treatment can lead to life-altering consequences or fatality.

• Incorrect Treatment: When a patient does not receive the appropriate treatment for their diagnosed condition, they may experience unnecessary harm.

• Surgical Error: Mistakes during surgery such as operating on the wrong part of the body or leaving surgical instruments behind qualify under this category.

• Medication Mistakes: Prescribing inappropriate medication with damaging effects constitutes an act of negligence.

• Improper Aftercare: Inadequate follow-up care might result in aggravated symptoms and intensified medical problems.

Understanding these types of errors is crucial as they form the foundation of most medical malpractice claims. However, merely experiencing an unfortunate outcome after receiving medical attention does not necessarily equate to poor practice or negligence. To establish negligent treatment legally – typically identified as standard-of-care breaches – you must prove certain elements:

1) The doctor had a direct relationship with the patient,

2) The doctor acted negligently contributing towards the injury,

3) This negligence directly caused harm,

4) And finally, this harm resulted in damages (physical pain/mental anguish/loss wages).

Laws regarding malpractice differ significantly depending upon jurisdiction; however, Illinois has strict prerequisites when filing a case – detailed knowledge about which is very important if pursuing legal action. It is where experienced attorneys like Carlson Bier come into the picture. We specialize in interpreting sophistications of medical malpractice cases and can guide you through each phase of your claim – helping unearth proof, statute of limitations, damage caps, informed consent laws, and likely defenses.

Also noteworthy is that the state mandates all potential claims to undergo an obligatory ‘certificate of merit’ process before litigation begins. This step involves an implication-free consultation with a healthcare professional who examines facts about your case and confirms whether it’s plausible to instigate legal action or not.

Remember, every piece of evidence strengthens your demand for compensation and justice in your medical malpractice ordeal. Hence if you believe that a healthcare provider failed you, do not hesitate to seek counsel promptly. Delay often results in crucial pieces of information being lost; further constraining the chances for optimum financial recovery.

Even if unsure whether negligence occurred during or after medical treatment, engaging with competent Illinois attorneys at Carlson Bier can elucidate the nature of possible decisions at no cost upfront!

Our firm sets itself apart by giving our clients personalized attention by truly understanding their individual circumstances and tailoring bespoke legal strategies accordingly. Experience has taught us that there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution; hence we promise dedicated representation aimed at achieving maximum redressal.

At Carlson Bier, we pour every ounce possible into representing victims suffering because someone else was negligent- committed passionately to delivering deserved closure and peace.

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.
