About Carlson Bier

Personal Injury Lawyers in Mendon Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we lend our unwavering expertise to the field of personal injury law. Our highly skilled team has an extensive working knowledge of all aspects related to this specialized area. As a dedicated personal injury firm based in Illinois, handling cases that range from car accidents and medical malpractice, to workers’ compensation and wrongful death suits is our forte.

It’s our primary goal to educate individuals about their rights when unfortunate circumstances like injuries come their way, due to negligence. Personal Injury Law covers a wide scope – it applies anywhere harm is caused by carelessness or intentional acts where the victim has had no part in causing their own suffering. Illnesses contracted can also be classed as personal injuries if they are preventable and resulted from another party’s lack of attention towards safety.

Understandably, litigation revolving around such matters can be confusing for those unfamiliar with legal terminology and proceedings. Hence we offer lucidity through detailed enlightenment on how the process works:

• The initial phase consists of filing a lawsuit against the responsible party.

• Following this comes discovery—where both sides gather data that build-up their respective claims.

• Frequently issues are settled out-of-court; when they aren’t, trials ensue (and sometimes even appeals).

Insurance companies and other entities often make it difficult for victims to get fair compensation for their losses without professional representation—a daunting experience indeed! This is precisely why we pledge ourselves completely into standing up for you and ensuring justice.

We do so by proving four crucial elements:

– First off, Duty of Care: This component identifies that there existed a responsibility bound legally upon the defendant under which they were required not to cause harm or risk thereof.

– Next comes Breach: Herein it becomes clear whether said obligation was neglected or otherwise disregarded leading up-to harmful repercussions.

– It then leads us onto Causation: From here our expert law practitioners show evidence connecting misconduct (of the defendant) directly to the victim’s afflictions.

– Lastly, Damages: We confirm that actual suffering (either physical or emotional) took place due to defendant’s negligence.

These intricacies indicate why hiring a seasoned personal injury attorney is absolutely integral; securing rightful remuneration becomes proportionally more likely with legal counsel of caliber. At Carlson Bier, every layer is peeled diligently and meticulously for an optimal consequential outcome.

Moreover, we firmly assure that victims are not stuck spinning in a cycle of medical bills, lost wages, emotional distress or unfair liability. Our team goes all out against insurance companies trying to minimize their payouts by exploiting gaps in your claim. Coming to terms with such experiences is both mentally and financially taxing – hence it only feels right that you befit from deserved damages without being dragged through complicated predicaments.

Equipped with years of experience and rigorous determination to rectify injustices within our domain; we persistently fight aggressively on behalf of those wronged due to carelessness. The premise of our services is rooted deeply into incorporating ethical practices while exercising sharp strategic planning throughout each individual client representation—and this forms the cornerstone for our credibility across Illinois!

Remember that each case is as unique as its facts and involved laws—hence there exist no one-size-fits-all blueprint solutions here at Carlson Bier! Instead we lean towards personalized litigation strategies tailor-made for specific scenarios thus maximising chances at gaining worthy restitution unlike any other traditional law firms would offer.

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.
