About Carlson Bier

Personal Injury Lawyers in Crestwood Illinois

Welcome to Carlson Bier, your trusted Illinois-based Personal Injury Attorney Group that stands for the rights and protection of injury victims. We understand accidents happen; however, when they occur due to negligence or oversight of another party—be it an individual, a company, or an institution—it becomes imperative to seek legal restitution.

Personal injury law encompasses a myriad of scenarios where harm is inflicted in various forms such as physical injuries, emotional traumas, or financial losses. It spans areas like auto accidents, work-related injuries, medical malpractice incidents among others. At Carlson Bier, we handle this broad spectrum with proficiency rooted in years of practice and deep understanding of law provisions.

Let’s take a look at some crucial aspects:

• Determining Liability: Uncovering who’s responsible can be quite complex but essential in claiming compensation. Our experienced attorneys employ tactful investigative strategies to unravel these complexities.

• Establishing Negligence: Essential in most personal injury cases must show negligent action (or lack thereof) leading up directly to the accident causing injury.

• Calculating Damages: Ascertaining the exact monetary value for pain/suffering endured—the crux of our approach rests on ensuring maximum possible reparation for our clients.

When dealing with insurance companies after an incident occurs it’s often complicated and intimidating. Insurance firms typically aim at minimizing claims made—having us by your side presents as advantage—we strive to make sure you get complete compensation commensurate with your ordeal’s impact on health and life quality.

People commonly wonder whether their case necessitates hiring a lawyer or not—a core issue guided by variables such as severity of the accident/injury suffered and claims process involved among other factors. Typically, more severe injuries/claims require expert assistance—an areaexcelled at Carlson Bierfor decades.

One common misconception is that anyone can file a claim any time—however there actually exists specific timeframes known legallyasStatutes of Limitations varying based on injury type/nature and state-specific laws. In Illinois, personal injury claims generally hold a two-year window from the date of the incident.

At Carlson Bier, we understand everyone’s circumstances are unique—thus maintaining an approach tailored specifically towards individual needs rather than employing a “one-size-fits-all” method.

We envisage building trusted relationships recognizing that each case imbues trust vested in our capabilities—something we immensely value. With each case undertaken, no stone remains unturned in ascertaining every aspect thoroughly researched and duly addressed for achieving efficacious results.

There’s no underestimating links between physical injuries and mental anguish—oftentimes harder to cope with long after physical wounds heal. Emotional traumas can take significant tolls on livelihoods affecting daily routines, professional responsibilities even family lives. We consider this psychological dimension too while handling clients’ cases.

Our aim stretches beyond attaining appropriate compensations; we strive to ensure clients’ dignity upheld alongside providing valuable resources aiding recovery thus restoring normalcy following debilitating incidents.

Choosing the right legal representation is especially crucial when dealing with such delicate matters—a choice intrinsically linked to securing your just reparation and reinstating peace back into your life disrupted by incidents causing personal injury.

Why leave anything to chance? Deciding whether you have grounds for filing a claim or how much compensation you’re entitled could be overwhelming — unless guided by seasoned experts like Carlson Bier! Aren’t you curious about what your claim could potentially garner?

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.
