About Carlson Bier

Spinal Cord Injuries Lawyers in Twin Grove Illinois

If you or a loved one have been the unfortunate victims of an accident that has resulted in spinal cord injury, Carlson Bier is dedicated to providing you not only with highly professional legal support but also compassionate guidance through these difficult times. Spinal cord injuries are amongst the most painful and debilitating ailments that individuals can encounter, often resulting from tragic incidents such as car accidents, workplace accidents, slips and falls, or even medical negligence.

Understanding spinal cord injuries requires a deep-dive into neurological intricacies. The spinal cord is essentially a complex bundle of nerves stretching from the neck down to the lumbar region (lower back). In its role as a nerve superhighway between your brain and body parts, any degree of harm to it may be severe and potentially life-altering.

• When trauma impacts this delicate region, motor function impairment generally occurs below the point of injury.

• Sensory deficiencies might also ensue alongside motor deficits.

• Depending on the severity and location of injury, some people suffer paraplegia or quadriplegia.

• Complications like respiratory issues, bowel dysfunction, chronic pain syndromes might be subsequent concerns.

Truly comprehending these nuances not only entails knowing what happens immediately after an incident but also predicting long-term outcomes – something we at Carlson Bier take very seriously. Our firm understands how vital compensation claims become when dealing with costly rehabilitation workups such as physical therapy sessions or specialized surgical procedures.

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)

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Spinal Cord Injury FAQ​

Spinal cord injuries are commonly caused by traumatic events such as vehicle accidents, falls, sports injuries, and acts of violence like gunshot wounds. Medical conditions like arthritis, cancer, or infections can also lead to spinal cord damage.

Symptoms of a spinal cord injury can vary depending on the severity and location of the injury. Common symptoms include loss of movement, loss of sensation (including the ability to feel heat, cold, and touch), loss of bladder or bowel control, exaggerated reflex activities or spasms, changes in sexual function, pain or an intense stinging sensation caused by damage to the nerve fibers in the spinal cord, and difficulty breathing, coughing, or clearing secretions from your lungs.

The permanence of a spinal cord injury depends on the severity and type of injury. Complete spinal cord injuries, where all feeling and ability to control movement are lost below the spinal cord injury, have a lower chance of recovery. Incomplete injuries, where there is some motor or sensory function below the affected area, may allow for significant recovery. However, there is currently no cure for a spinal cord injury.

Immediate treatments for spinal cord injuries focus on minimizing further damage and include immobilization, surgery, and medications. Long-term treatment involves rehabilitation, which can include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and counseling to help with the emotional aspect of the injury. Technological advances such as exoskeletons, electrical stimulation devices, and ongoing research into cell regeneration and repair are also promising areas for treatment.

The impact of a spinal cord injury on daily life varies widely and depends on the severity of the injury. It can lead to reduced mobility or paralysis, requiring the use of wheelchairs or other assistive devices. It often necessitates modifications to living spaces, vehicles, and workplaces. Spinal cord injuries can also impact personal care, bladder and bowel management, and sexual health. Support systems, adaptive technologies, and rehabilitation can play significant roles in helping individuals lead fulfilling lives post-injury.
