About Carlson Bier

Personal Injury Lawyers in Dallas City Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we specialize in personal injury law and are committed to helping our clients in Illinois navigate through the complexities and challenges of their unique situations. We aim to make a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by personal injury instances, recognizing that every case can profoundly impact an individual’s life. As dedicated attorneys who uphold your rights, it’s crucial for us to equip you with vital information about Personal Injury Law.

The world of personal injury law is vast and complex, encompassing numerous scenarios wherein one party’s negligence or intent harms another physically or emotionally. In layman’s terms, this legal domain is all about holding responsible individuals accountable for their actions while ensuring victims receive appropriate compensation. This extends across various circumstances such as motor vehicle accidents, slip-and-fall cases, medical malpractice incidents and product liabilities among many other occurrences.

Negligence forms a substantial part of these unfortunate events. Herein lies the need to establish three key elements – duty of care owed by defendant to plaintiff, breach of said duty through negligent action or lack thereof leading to harm caused directly attributable because thereof:

• The existence of a responsibility towards someone else i.e., the Duty: Employers have a duty towards employees’ safety; drivers owe everyone around them attentive driving.

• A Breach in fulfilling this obligation could be reckless driving resulting in an accident or an employer disregarding necessary workplace safety guidelines.

• That the breach was indeed the Cause of resulting injury: Connecting the irresponsible act directly correlates it with injuries sustained.

• Proof of Damage inflicted as documented evidence showcasing hospital bills or proof from mental health professionals showing emotional trauma.

At Carlson Bier, our role involves ardently pursuing justice on behalf of our clients based on these principles. We extend every effort possible into investigating the claims thoroughly before presenting substantial evidence curated meticulously against liable entities while negating any counterclaims made advocating shared fault.

It essentially boils down to reliable Legal Representation given the convoluted nature of personal injury cases and unfamiliarity that people often have with its nuances. We provide clarity, guidance, and reassurance to our clients at every juncture – offering advice centered around pertinent legal aspects navigated seamlessly through an apt combination of legal expertise combined with thoughtful empathy.

Our knowledge base extends across varied types of Personal Injuries helping us differentiate between common injuries like fractures or damage versus psychological traumas inflicted post-accidents which can escalate beyond comprehension for unsuspecting victims – a facet often overlooked but quite significant nevertheless.

We ensure you understand the compensation process which depending on your case could include coverage for medical expenses incurred both immediately after the accident and over time if ongoing treatment is required. Lost wages in case you’re unable to work due to the injuries sustained, property damage reimbursement and compensation for emotional distress including pain and suffering are all factors considered during our detailed assessment. Our approach is comprehensive, dealing not just with immediate consequences but scanning foreseeable future effects as well.

You don’t need to go through this challenging time without support – allow us to provide the much-needed buffer against surprises that might emerge during the proceedings.

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.
