About Carlson Bier

Personal Injury Lawyers in Bismarck Illinois

At Carlson Bier, our commitment to service translates into a personal mission: to zealously advocate for the rights of those who have suffered harm as a result of someone else’s negligent or wrongful conduct. Realizing that each case is unique, we strive to provide quality legal representation tailored towards your specific needs as a valued client.

Personal Injury law envelops a wide range of situations where an individual has been physically harmed or suffered emotional distress due to another party’s negligence or intentional infliction. This can encompass scenarios such as car accidents, slip and fall incidents, medical malpractice cases, defective products resulting in harm and more.

Within this spectrum of Personal Injury law:

• Automobile Accidents: We represent clients who have sustained injuries resulting from collisions involving cars, motorcycles, trucks or other motor vehicles.

• Premises Liability: If you are injured on someone else’s property due to their negligence – such as unsafe conditions causing ‘slip and fall’ incident – then premises liability may apply.

• Medical Malpractice: When doctors or other healthcare professionals deviate from established standards in the medical community causing injury to a patient; it constitutes grounds for a medical malpractice claim.

• Product Liability: Manufacturers are legally responsible for ensuring the safety of their products. If any product defect causes physical harm–the manufacturer might be held accountable under product liability regulation.

Understanding the process following an accident can aid immensely when navigating these complex issues. The immediate focus is obtaining medical treatment if necessary but documenting details of the accident should not be underestimated—it could potentially strengthen your legal argument.

Collecting evidence at this stage includes:

– Photographs and/or videos capturing the actual incident location

– Police reports (in applicable cases)

– Witness testimonies

– Concise records detailing all forms of loss including lost wages

Ensuring timely communication with insurance companies becomes critical since they could attempt diminishing claims by exploiting any loopholes in spoken account discrepancies.

Retaining experienced legal counsel such as ours can help understand and apply these recommendations towards your benefit. We are equipped to deal with insurance tactics aiming for claim reduction or denial, and approach negotiation from a position of strength.

At Carlson Bier, we adopt a compassionate but professional stance while working on your case; shielding you from unnecessary stress while addressing the bureaucratic elements involved. Importantly, we operate on a contingency basis which entails no up-front fees; our compensation is directly linked to achieving successful outcomes for you—this validates our dedication towards securing maximum possible recovery dime for your case.

Our awareness about different facets associated with Personal Injury law equips us in providing comprehensive services delivered with integrity and efficiency. This mitigates confusion often accompanying complex legal proceedings-melding clarity, insight along with zealous representation every step of the way.

Do remember that Illinois law imposes certain limitations on bringing forward personal injury cases-known as statutes of limitation-so acting promptly is advised to preserve your right to filing appropriate legal action.

Factoring all these elements bears witness to why choosing Carlson Bier could mark a monumental difference in coping with aftermaths of unfortunate circumstances. Our competence stems not just from sharp acumen honed over years of practising law but also embracing journeys walked alongside clients- respecting their trust bestowed upon us during emotionally challenging times.

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.
