About Carlson Bier

Personal Injury Lawyers in Christopher Illinois

At Carlson Bier, our team of highly experienced personal injury attorneys takes great pride in providing comprehensive legal services to individuals faced with personal injury cases statewide across Illinois. We offer unparalleled expertise and understand the havoc that a sudden accident or mishap can wreak on your life.

Personal injury law is an extensive field that revolves around an individual’s right to be compensated for physical, emotional, or financial harm caused by another party’s negligence or intentional conduct. Cases stemming from car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace incidents to product defects fit within the spectrum of personal injury law.

The strength of any legal claim lies in its evidence. In personal injury claims, this involves establishing liability and quantifying damages incurred due to the negligent act. This process requires professional help since it extends beyond general knowledge into the realm of legal expertise— which our team at Carlson Bier provides diligently.

• Establishing Liability: The key factor here is proving that your injury stemmed directly from another party’s negligence or intentional wrongdoing – not merely coincidence.

• Quantifying Damages: Determining “pain and suffering” in concrete terms can prove challenging when dealing with substantial injuries causing lasting trauma- both physically and psychologically- thus qualifying for compensation.

At Carlson Bier, we believe that successful recovery goes beyond just winning a case; it entails ensuring you achieve optimal health too. Therefore, we strive tirelessly to ensure both your health-related requirements are met along with securing fair financial settlements.

As staunch defenders of justice for over countless years, we not only uphold law but also believe strongly in shaping it towards fairness and reasonability through informed discourse and steadfast action. By upholding this viewpoint consistently as we strategize personal injury cases coming before us– fair settlement negotiation or aggressive litigation– we have created a distinguished name amidst legal fraternity as trailblazers who do not fear courtrooms but view them as arenas where justice is served.

Our commitment extends beyond achieving verdicts—we strongly believe in providing invaluable education about personal injury law to equip our clients with knowledge that helps them make informed decisions regarding their case. Personal injuries not only create immediate distress but also play a significant role in shaping your future— from skyrocketing medical bills, lost wages due to inability to work,to physical and mental rehabilitation costs that may continue for years.

At Carlson Bier, we strive relentlessly to ensure nobody goes through this rough patch alone— it is not just our profession but a commitment cast in the steel of empathy and righteousness.

Moreover, at Carlson Bier, we work on a contingency basis which means you pay no fees unless we win your case. This ensures everyone can have access to high-quality legal service without worrying about financial constraints because when you entrust us with your fight for justice—we take it personally!

Are you wondering what’s the value of your personal injury case? Each case holds distinct variations depending on factors like severity of the harm, deliberate actions or neglect by the responsible party, attached emotional pain and suffering attributing to overall life-disturbing impact. Therefore,it makes ‘one-fits-all’ formula non-applicable when assessing unique cases.

However,you don’t need to navigate these crucial aspects of legal process single-handedly. Allow us at Carlson Bier to lead the way professionally yet warmly – as attorneys well-versed in Illinois state laws pertaining personal injuries and compassionate humans who understand how tiring physically and psychologically painful aftermaths can be following an unfortunate incident.

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.
