About Carlson Bier

Birth Injuries Lawyers in Tiskilwa Illinois

Welcome to the Carlson Bier law firm, a highly devoted group of personal injury attorneys in Illinois. Our focus on service quality and our commitment to justice has made us one of the most respected names in personal injury cases statewide.

Birth injuries are distressing events that no family should have to experience. To understand how Carlson Bier can potentially assist you, it is important first to familiarize oneself with what exactly birth injury entails: A birth injury refers to detrimental physical harm that an infant suffers either during labor or delivery due predominantly to medical malpractice or negligence.

A significant number of these injuries could be deflected with proper prenatal care and precise delivery techniques. Therefore, accountability lies where mistakes were made whether by obstetricians, nurses, or any other healthcare practitioner involved:

• Oxygen deprivation leading to cerebral palsy

• Injuries from vacuum extractors or forceps

• Fatal damage due to delayed C-sections

• Infections caused by neglectful sterilization

• Nerve damage resulting from inappropriate handling

An underlying commonality amongst all these instances is sheer preventable factors. The spectrum ranges far and wide when discussing birth injuries; however, each tells a unique tale bound by the same thread—irrevocable harm inflicted upon the innocent.

Witnessing your child suffer is undoubtedly heart-wrenching scenarios parents face; this anguish further intensifies when it dawns upon them—their child’s suffering could’ve been avoided had competent medical practitioners taken charge. They deserved better. You deserved better.

And this is where we at Carlson Bier step into action.

We dwell not only in strong advocacy but compassionate understanding as well—a balance essential in such emotionally charged legal battles as birth injury lawsuits. It’s crucial for us that you feel heard since communication instills trust—an elemental component in attorney-client relationships—especially so when infused within something this delicate and personal.

Indeed, it will never return things back ‘as they once were. However, filing a lawsuit can procure grounds for rightful compensation to cover medical bills and rehabilitation therapy along with other unforeseen expenses—redeeming at least some parts of an unfortunate turn of events. By holding responsible parties accountable, hopefully reinstating what little semblance of normalcy that was lost.

• We strive undeterred till the ends justified by your guidance

• Scan through myriad sectors entailing potential negligence

• Ensure your case is presented in the most credible light

Moreover, our commitment extends beyond the confines of courtrooms. We, at Carlson Bier law firm:

• Cordially counsel you on pertinent healthcare options and rights

• Explain technical terms to secure an absolute understanding

• Identify potential defendants involved and gather essential evidence

So far-reaching that it often feels like there’s an ‘overlap.’ Does your obstetrician owe you this duty? Absolutely! But did they uphold it properly? It’s unsure unless you track down completely accurate records narrating both postnatal care given and baby deliveries made without any overlooked discrepancy.

Above all else, time plays a significant role—it quickens as worries simmer into frustration. Yet, remember this: Although Illinois allows up to eight years (from date injury discovered) for such claims, anytime earlier is always better—evidence stays fresh; memories remain retentive!

We recognize that these must be challenging times…that perhaps no consolation seems enough right now compared to what was lost. But do know this—injustice seen but unheard breeds more injustice unseen yet thriving! Hence why we choose to lend our voices onto ears yearning acknowledgment…and turns eyes towards unjust events needing rectification.

Allow us some time till we weave within legalities and lawsuits—the intricate labyrinth formed upon unfathomable circumstances—and return seeking nothing less than justice deserved!

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.
