About Carlson Bier

Personal Injury Lawyers in Addison Illinois

Based in the heart of Illinois, Carlson Bier is a distinguished personal injury law firm committed to advocating for the rights and entitlements of clients who have suffered injuries due to negligence or misconduct by others. Personal Injury law, divided into numerous sub-categories, provides legal recourse for individuals seeking justice following instances that could mentally or physically harm them — from vehicular accidents and workplace incidents to medical malpractice and product defects.

Understanding Personal Injury in essence begins with comprehension of its two key concepts: liability and damages. Liability necessitates determining who was at fault during an incident while damages entail evaluating the severity of resulting physical harm, emotional distress or property loss. Typically, these factors contribute towards establishing whether you can make a claim from an insurance company or file a lawsuit against an individual or business entity.

Carlson Bier’s exemplary team of personal injury attorneys guides clients through these sometimes complex processes in a comprehensible manner, offering reassurance and guaranteeing every undertaking echoes our dedication to your cause:

• FACT-FINDING: Investigation plays an integral part in shaping your case outcomes. We promptly gather evidence like police reports, witness statements, images/video footage; acquire expert opinions on accident reconstruction if needed.

• CLAIM EVALUATION: This involves meticulously gauging the impact incurred on your health (physical & mental), livelihood along with tangible monetary costs endured.

• NEGOTIATIONS & LITIGATION: Our proficient negotiators employ their expertise to maximize your settlement during discussions with insurers but are also prepared for trial scenarios should negotiations stagnate or fail.

The often-overwhelming consequences following physical injuries generate confusion regarding rightful compensation achievable via legal channels – we break down this erroneous perception. Victims can seek remuneration under multiple categories that include Medical Expenses surrounding current and/or potential future treatments; Lost Wages that manifest as lost revenue due to incapacity to work presently or persistently; Pain & Suffering; Loss of Enjoyment, reflecting on your inability to engage in recreational activities or interests; Emotional Distress and Punitive Damages aimed at punishing entities whose ill-advised actions inflicted harm upon you.

Despite misconceptions surrounding personal injury claims, it’s crucial to recognize that they aren’t solely applicable in incidents involving catastrophic injuries. Even seemingly minimal impairments impacting quality of life ought not be overlooked – Carlson Bier is committed towards ensuring clients fully fathom their potential rights and benefits under personal injury law. By adeptly managing every legal aspect ranging from gathering evidence to securing settlements, we enable victims to focus on recovery while we champion their cause for justice.

Importantly though, timelines play a vital role in personal injury cases. Known as the ‘Statute of Limitations’, this legally defined time frame within which a victim can launch a relevant lawsuit differs based on type, location of occurrence etc. Our lawyers promptly initiate procedures ensuring no pertinent deadlines are missed – bolstering your case success chances.

Being well-versed with specific state rules influencing personal injury law outcomes amplifies our credibility further – navigating these intricate guidelines is one of our core strengths at Carlson Bier. A key distinction regarding Illinois Law is its prohibition against any assertion suggesting presence in cities where businesses lack physical offices – maintaining utmost transparency with our clientele is an unwavering priority for us.

Translating challenging terminologies into understandable insights; providing empathetic guidance throughout daunting claim processes; delivering end-to-end professionally competent services with team members relentlessly working towards securing maximum compensation possible – choosing Carlson Bier underscores thoughtful decision-making poised towards achieving desired justice results.

Ultimately, pursuing legal pathways after encountering an unfortunate incident doesn’t have to be intimidating ordeal shadowed by anxieties over financial burdens or protracted proceedings-draw strength from knowledge that every step taken with Carlson Bier propels you closer towards rightful resolution. If compensated isn’t just about covering expenses but restoring peace and fostering hope-courageously carving pipelines for closure, and perhaps even fresh beginnings.

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.
