About Carlson Bier

Personal Injury Lawyers in Aviston Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we are a team of devoted personal injury attorneys based in Illinois, consistently achieving significant victories for our clients. Our expertise extends to a wide range of personal injury cases including car accidents, work-related injuries, medical malpractice, and more. We understand the physical, emotional, and financial burdens an unfortunate incident can bring on you and your family.

Personal injury law refers to the legal remedies available to individuals who have been harmed due to someone else’s negligence or carelessness. In essence, it provides an opportunity for the injured person—or plaintiff—to recover compensation when they experience harm as a result of another individual’s wrongful actions.

The key aspects of personal injury are:

– Proving Liability: To claim personal injury compensation, one must establish that the other party was negligent or at fault.

– Quantifying Damages: This involves establishing how much harm has occurred – physically and emotionally – as well as lost wages or potential loss of future earnings.

– Settlement Negotiation: Oftentimes personal injury cases don’t go to court but are settled through negotiation.

We at Carlson Bier dedicate ourselves meticulously to each case we handle; gathering evidence meticulously while exploring all potential sources of liability. We thoroughly employ strategies proven effective over our years in practice to prove fault in court if need be.

Moreover, we understand how difficult it is for victims dealing with medical bills and possibly being out of work post-injury. Therefore, payment comes secondary after advocating vehemently for your claims until recovery has been made. Our goal is not just winning cases but also ensuring every client feels fully supported from their first conversation till the point where justice gets served.

Knowing what documentation will tremendously help your case can remove some stress from this already daunting process:

– Medical Records : Include doctor’s notes during hospital visits documenting injuries suffered.

– Incident Reports : A detailed account on what happened directly after an incident occurs goes a long way in proving liability.

– Witness Testimonials : These may assist in verifying the details and can back up your claims.

We at Carlson Bier understand that accidents bring on a storm of confusion, pain, and stress — but you don’t have to face it alone. With unwavering dedication combined with legal acumen honed by decades of experience in personal injury law, we stand ready to fight relentlessly for every client’s right to compensation.

Our approach is clearly articulated; devoted representation with transparent steps. You will be updated, involved, and our steadfast team will tirelessly ensure quality service throughout the process—using extensive knowledge about how best to leverage the Illinois laws in your favor.

Remember – each person’s case is unique as each person who walks through our doors. We genuinely believe this and treat everyone as such – not merely another number on a case file.

Any claim has the potential to change lives dramatically. Damages recovered provide financial support following an incident rendering individuals unable to work or facing hefty medical bills they cannot pay off.

However enticing it may seem getting quick settlements from insurance companies often results in under-compensation of what one truly deserves. Being professional lawyers experienced within the realm of personal injury gives us insights into accurately calculating rightful cost values relating directly proportional ramifications suffered by victims.

There’s no harm wanting justice served rightfully yours, especially when left wrongfully injured due to negligence caused by others that triggered aftermaths impacting life significantly adversely.

You need advocates: reliable strong-willed fighters preserving rights ensuring fair remuneration remains at center focus combatting strategically against powerful adversaries lined-up potentially persuading accept lesser compensation than actually rightly deserved whilst proving liability undisputedly hence ensuring handing winning odds over failures plagued by uncertainties anxieties battling trying circumstances ensues following unfortunate incidents veiling normality temporarily if unfortunately not permanently disallowing live life ‘used-to’ used lovingly unabashed enjoying everything offered without fear hesitation happening unknowingly unexpectedly altering course sometimes mercilessly sacrificing happiness dragging downward spirals.

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.
