About Carlson Bier

Personal Injury Lawyers in Bluffs Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we are a team of well-versed personal injury attorneys operating from Illinois. With our strong foothold in the legal arena and our dedication to justice, we strive to deliver proficient representation and meaningful solutions for those who have been unfairly injured through no fault of their own. Our expertise extends across a vast array of personal injury niches, including car accidents, medical malpractice, slip and fall injuries, nursing home abuse, workplace-related injuries among others.

One of the significant aspects that distinguishes us is our extensive understanding swathed in simplicity. Despite dealing with complex law terms daily, we believe that every client should wholly understand their situation alongside possible legal courses without getting lost in intimidating jargon. We appreciate that knowledge breeds empowerment; therefore our services aim to equip you not just legally but also informatically.

• Personal injury denotes circumstances where an individual’s body or mind has been harmed due to another entity’s negligence or intentional conduct.

• Medical malpractice comes about when healthcare practitioners act out of the medical standard norms which subsequently result in harm or injury.

• Slip and fall injuries occur typically due to unsafe property conditions leading individuals onto damaging falls.

• Workplace-related accidents frequently happen given hazardous work environments insufficiently managed by employers.

Efficient handling of any case requires profound knowledge coupled with solid experience – criteria embedded at Carlson Bier’s core DNA. Having deftly manoeuvred several complicated cases over the years, we are adept at assembling trailblazing strategies aimed at securing maximum compensation for your losses.

A significant factor often understated during turbulent times like these is emotional support which can make a world of difference between rapid recovery and prolonged suffering. Thusly it becomes imperative for us as your legal protectors not only to fight fiercely for your rights within courtroom walls but also extend compassion beyond them too; essentially unwavering emotional support forms integral elements within our professional commitment towards you.

In personal injury lawsuits many individuals feel daunted by the magnitude of what lies ahead, but Carlson Bier is here to allay these fears. There are no upfront fees; we operate on a contingency fee basis which means if we don’t win, you don’t owe us anything. That’s our promise.

Victims often worry about fighting large corporations or insurance companies individually, but with Carlson Bier anchoring your legal corner, such disparities diminish substantially as our reputation supersedes us in seeking rightful justice effortlessly.

Sound understanding of Illinois’ statute of limitations is vital to avoid inadvertently derailing your personal injury lawsuit. The timeline limbers at two years from when the injury occurred for filing your claim; missing this window can grievously affect the validity of your case reiterating legal advice from knowledgeable attorneys like those at Carlson Bier could prove instrumental during such times.

Carlson Bier proudly represents clients within Illinois where we have established offices per the stipulated law regulations and maintains strict adherence to them ensuring credibility aligns with provisioned services.

We believe that justice delayed is indeed justice denied hence regardless of whether you’ve been injured recently or recuperating after losing a loved one due to fatal accidents, time remains paramount and acting quickly can be pivotal in vindicating suitable compensation accordingly. Irrespective of how minor an accident may seem initially, consulting experienced personal injury lawyers would ensure on-the-spot assessment thereby negating any chances of skipped details that might later evolve into significant predicaments.

One thing unwaveringly consistent across every case we handle is commitment – to our practice and more importantly towards our clients’ rights, delivering unmatched advocacy while constantly updating you incrementally ensuring complete transparency prevails throughout 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)
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.
