About Carlson Bier

Personal Injury Lawyers in Nokomis Illinois

Welcome to Carlson Bier, a reputable law firm dedicated to handling personal injury cases throughout Illinois. Armed with seasoned attorneys, we zealously defend the rights of those who have been harmed by negligence or intentional wrongdoing. Personal injuries can leave devastating effects on a victim’s life, resulting in physical pain and financial strain. We strive to educate our clients about the pivotal process of protecting their legal rights and securing what they rightfully deserve.

Personal injury is a broad legal term that refers to emotional, physical, or psychological harm caused by another party’s carelessness, negligence, or intentionally harmful act. It covers an extensive range of accidents and incidents such as slip-and-falls, road traffic accidents, medical malpractice cases and product liability incidents.

At Carlson Bier, we believe that our clients should not bear the cost and inconvenience for injuries they did not cause. Our team works aggressively to gather evidence for your case and fight tirelessly so that you receive due compensation for:

• Current and future medical expenses

• Lost wages

• Loss of earning potential

• Pain and suffering

• Emotional distress

Understanding personal injury laws can be daunting; however, at Carlson Bier you’re never alone in this journey. From pertinent legislation such as the statute of limitations restricting the time frame within which you can file a lawsuit after sustaining an injury – typically set at two years from the date of accident in Illinois -, to degrees of fault impacting awarded damages – via contributory negligence principles -, it is essential to consult trusted legal advisors before taking any action.

Building robust claims requires expert analysis that only experienced firms like ours provides: Documented proof linking defendant’s actions (or failure thereof) causing your injuries are verified carefully; thorough assessments validating extent and nature of losses incurred will then be carried out. Remember, insurance companies often employ tactics designed to significantly reduce payouts – with us even these sly maneuvers are easily exposed & rebuffed!

Our attorneys embark on meticulous fact-finding missions, unearthing details that highlight the gravity of your injury, and professionally negotiating with insurance companies or representing you in court if necessary. Our dedication to our clients is evident in our commitment to communicating the progress of their case at every stage.

At Carlson Bier, we offer contingency-based fees to alleviate financial concern among our clients. In other words, you don’t pay any attorney fees unless we obtain a monetary compensation for your case. We firmly believe that legal assistance should be accessible to everyone regardless of their economic standing.

Our firm’s track record includes countless victories attained through strategic planning amalgamated with relentless representation; but it’s not just about winning cases – it’s about helping people regain control over their lives after traumatic events have unexpectedly wrenched them away.

Finally, accuracy of location disclosure holds supreme importance in Illinois law practice advertising ethos- thus asserting without any ambiguity: Carlson Bier operates out of specifically designated offices spread across Illinois state barring Nokomis- since there’s no office located here; potential misrepresentation is something our firm ardently avoids!

Personal Injury laws are complex and navigating it on your own can be challenging and overwhelming especially when faced with recuperating from injuries inflicted due to someone else’s fault. Relying on seasoned personal injury attorneys such as ours ensures that you take the right step towards achieving justice.

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.
