About Carlson Bier

Car Accident Lawyers in Carpentersville Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we specialize in advocating for those who have been injured due to someone else’s negligence or recklessness. As a premier personal injury attorney group based in Illinois, our primary focus is on individuals who’ve faced the unexpected trauma of car accidents. Navigating the aftermath of an accident can be overwhelming, and we’re here to provide unwavering legal support during these trying times.

Our unrivalled expertise includes representing clients who have sustained injuries from various types of vehicle collisions – rear-end collisions, head-on crashes, T-bone accidents as well as rollovers. Equally significant is our knowledge concerning frequent causes behind such incidents including distracted driving, drunk driving, reckless driving speeds and poor weather conditions. Our aim is not only to represent you but also to educate you about your rights following a car accident.

• If you’re involved in an accident resulting from another driver’s negligence, you should understand that Illinois law entitles you to compensation for any damages or injuries incurred.

• Every victim has the right to receive quality medical care which includes ambulance fees, hospital stays and rehabilitation costs.

• Emotional stress often comes hand-in-hand with physical trauma; victims are entitled to claim emotional distress damages alongside economic ones.

• Compensation doesn’t just rely on monetary factors like medical bills or property damage; lost wages can also be reclaimed if resultant injuries prevent return-to-work scenarios.

With our diligent team of attorneys at Carlson Bier on your side, rest assured that all possible avenues will be explored and leveraged for fair restitution on your behalf. We leave no stone unturned when it comes to investigation procedures using credible resources for collecting evidentiary support such as traffic camera footage or eyewitness testimonies. More importantly though is our policy of involving clients every step of the lawful procedure: from evaluation & litigation phases through settlement negotiations ensuring informed decisions throughout the process.

The aftermath of a car wreck can be jarring and can leave victims uncertain as to what next steps should be undertaken. Carlson Bier alleviates this pressure through prompt legal consultation, thus allowing our clients the much-needed time to focus on their recovery. We also work under contingent fee arrangements which means we only charge if we succeed in securing compensation for you.

While it is crucial to remember that every case is unique with disparate outcomes, what remains constant is our firm’s commitment towards achieving a just resolution for your suffering. Our longstanding relationships within the insurance industry set us apart from other law firms and can play a decisive role when negotiating claim settlements.

True justice extends beyond courtroom victories — it’s about giving our clients peace of mind during their direst hour and helping them put their lives back together post-accident. And at Carlson Bier, peace of mind starts by educating one about probable accident-related rights & claims while offering unbeatable legal representation simultaneously.

To mitigate your doubts further, Carlson Bier lets you estimate the potential worth of your car accident case via an assessment tool that lies merely a click away. Remember though – this estimation fulfills more of an informational purpose than being exact or final regarding any settlement values received later.

If you have been involved in a car accident due to someone else’s negligence or recklessness, remember: Carlson Bier stands by its commitment towards ensuring rightful restitution for all consequence-induced hardships faced by victims across Illinois; because at Carlson-Bier – Justice isn’t just sought; it’s served!

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.
