About Carlson Bier

Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Windsor Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we represent clients who have experienced the traumatizing effects of medical malpractice. When you put your trust in healthcare professionals and are let down – that becomes an indignity too hard to bear. Our seasoned personal injury attorneys provide dedicated representation with a steadfast commitment to justice.

Medical Malpractice is one of the most devastating forms of personal injury cases that can happen to anyone. It refers to situations where a hospital, doctor or other health care professional causes harm, injury or death to a patient through a negligent act or omission. This negligence could include errors in diagnosis, treatment, aftercare or health management.

To better understand it:

• Medical malpractice isn’t just about addition but also about omissions: Anything from failure to diagnose severe illnesses like cancer on time, surgical mistakes such as leaving instruments inside patients during operations over prescribing wrong medication dosage.

• Proving medical malpractice involves demonstrating that there was indeed a violation of the standard of care: That simply means showing evidence that another practitioner with similar background and training would not have made the same decision under similar circumstances.

• Damages must be incurred due directly by the healthcare provider’s negligence: Severe pain, enduring hardship, loss of income and even permanent disability constitute damages.

Every medical malpractice case presents its unique challenges but at Carlson Bier we adopt an assertive approach forged by meticulous investigation and steeped in our extensive understanding of Illinois’s legal landscape.

We fight tirelessly for compensation covering economic damages like past and future medical expenses along with non-economic damages that seek remuneration for pain and suffering inflicted upon victims by their caretakers’ negligence. For instance:

• Economic damages cover quantifiable costs associated with your injuries—medical bills both past and projected future ones including cost for rehabilitation services.

• Non-economic damages recognize misconduct-induced traumas—pain & suffering loss of consortium among others—that don’t readily translate into dollar amounts.

Navigating these complexities on your own, while juggling the process of recovery can quickly become overwhelming. That’s why Carlson Bier’s adept team offers comprehensive legal services, working meticulously to ensure that justice is served.

To be sure you are adequately equipped, it’s crucial to recognize when medical malpractice may have occurred in order to secure appropriate help promptly.

• Failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis: Early diagnosis can often make a difference between life and death especially for serious conditions such as heart disease or cancer. Thus, any failure here resulting from negligence justifies a case.

• Anesthesia mistakes: These could render patient paralyzed with chronic pains they didn’t go into surgery for.

• Obstetrical malpractice: Which might result in severe birth injuries due to negligence during prenatal care or delivery.

Thinking about all these can feel frightening but at Carlson Bier we believe no one should suffer in silence fearing the implications of seeking fair compensation. Our skilled personal injury attorneys transform this daunting journey into smooth terrain using their extensive experience coupled with an empathetic approach towards every client who entrusts us with their representation.

Our commitment extends beyond aiding victims of healthcare providers’ neglect attain justice—Carlson Reign places immense value on educating our clients equipping them for future health interactions and necessary precautions to avoid falling prey again to similar instances thanks significantly reduced faith eroding doctor-patient relationships built off trust.

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.
