About Carlson Bier

Personal Injury Lawyers in Crete Illinois

Welcome to Carlson Bier, your expert personal injury attorneys right here in Illinois. We specialize in championing for individuals who have suffered due to others’ negligence and securing the compensation they deserve. With an impressive track record of positive outcomes, our dedicated team employs meticulous strategies, coupled with a profound understanding of Illinois laws, to provide exemplary representation.

Personal injury law revolves around the principle that if you’ve been injured due to someone else’s wrongful act or negligence―such as car accidents, slips & falls, medical malpractice―you may be entitled to compensation. This covers economic damages like lost wages and medical expenses but also non-economic aspects such as emotional trauma or loss of enjoyment of life.

At Carlson Bier we tackle a broad spectrum of cases under personal injury laws:

• Car Accidents: These are common yet devastating occurrences where legal guidance becomes pivotal. From uninsured motorists to hit-and-run cases, our attorneys are well-versed in building strong claims.

• Workplace Injuries: If you’re harmed on the job due to unsafe working conditions or employer negligence, you have rights ― and we’ll help protect them.

• Medical Malpractice: Healthcare errors can cause irreparable damage. When healthcare professionals fail in their duty of care—whether through misdiagnosis or surgical errors—we push for justice.

• Product Liability: Manufacturers sometimes sell dangerous or defective products that harm consumers. Our focus is on holding those manufacturers accountable.

• Wrongful Death: When tragedy strikes unwarrantedly and a loved one unjustly loses their life due to another’s actions, it’s essential for families to receive not just monetary reparation but justice too.

Navigating personal injury lawsuits requires two key elements—comprehensive knowledge about state laws and impeccable negotiation skills for fair settlements—a combination at which our Illinois-based team truly excels. At Carlson Bier we bring more than just litigation expertise; we stand by clients from start to finish with compassion and dedication ensuring that their rights are never compromised.

What’s more, our firm works on a contingency fee basis which means there are no charges until you win. No recovery? No fee! We champion your cause because we sincerely believe in justice and your right to it.

Beyond the pain of injury itself, legal battles can exacerbate stress levels, especially as claims take time to culminate. That’s why at Carlson Bier, we not only commit ourselves to easing this burden with adept legal representation but also providing open lines of communication throughout – so you’re never left in the dark about your case progress.

Our promise is simple: A steadfast pursuit of justice. And while every case poses its own unique challenges, our team has ample experience handling various personal injury lawsuits—experience that we’ll bring to bear when dealing with insurers or irresponsible parties refusing to pay what they owe.

When you entrust us with your claim, we will diligently scrutinize every detail pertinent to your case and craft winning strategies. Let Carlson Bier attorney specialists navigate these complex landscapes and secure the compensation or settlement equating to justice for harm caused by others.

The complexities around personal injury law can be overwhelming particularly during such difficult times when recuperative focus should take precedence over all else – Allow us ease those burdens for you! Remember Carlson Bier – Advocates For The Injured!

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.
