About Carlson Bier

Personal Injury Lawyers in Danforth Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we are a team of dedicated personal injury attorneys committed to helping victims in Illinois understand their rights and obtain the justice they deserve. Our law firm is built on the foundation of relentless commitment towards protecting innocent lives devastated by unfortunate incidents.

A vital part of our support entails empowering potential clients or interested parties with knowledge about Personal Injury Law. We believe that access to information can significantly make a difference in an individual’s experience navigating through such challenging times. The legal framework around personal injury cases can appear complex and overwhelming; however, with our skilled and experienced lawyers at your side, understanding every intricate detail becomes easier.

• Scope: In essence, personal injury covers scenarios where injuries have been incurred due to another person or entity’s negligence or intentional actions. This could range from car accidents, medical malpractice and slip-and-fall incidents, workplace injuries – resulting from unsafe environments, dog bites as well as product liability cases when consumer products cause harm.

• Compensation: Often these adverse events come with unexpected physical discomfort, emotional distress and financial burdens like hospital bills or lost wages. As a victim, you may be entitled for compensation encompassing these elements which also include additional punitive damages intended to punish wrongdoers financially.

Our professional team at Carlson Bier possesses the expertise necessary to navigate this intricate arena efficiently getting optimal results for our clients swiftly involving aggressive negotiation and litigation if needed.

We operate based on three fundamental premises:

• Transparency – With open lines of communication between us at all times.

• Respect- By empathetically understanding your situation while maintaining ultimate confidentiality.

• Justice – Dedication towards pursuing outstanding deserved compensations assuring amelioration of those heart-wrenching situations people face following accidents caused by others’ carelessness.

One thing you should always keep in mind is that each case is unique. Personal injury law casts a wide net over many different situations; hence rest assured, we will work diligently to understand every nuance therein.

Navigating through personal injury claims can be emotionally challenging and often, timing plays a significant role in successful claim pursuance. The state of Illinois imposes time restrictions for filing personal injury lawsuits, more widely known as the statute of limitations. In most cases this spans two years from the date of injury occurrence but exceptions do exist; consultation with a knowledgeable lawyer can provide clarity on where you stand.

The process might feel overwhelming, encountering unfamiliar legal terminologies while simultaneously managing physical stress or financial uncertainties resulting from an accident or injury is difficult but remember the good news – You don’t have to go through it alone!

Our dedicated team values you – your pain, your struggles and mostly values justice for each one handling your case as though it was our own fight because we believe in making things right.

We’ve repeatedly witnessed how legal representation creates a powerful difference between winning reduced settlements versus full justified compensations victims deserve. Leveraging expertise built over years Carlson Bier tirelessly endeavors to bridge this gap getting the upper hand even against tough insurance companies or large corporations seeking out minimization of their payouts.

Finally, revealing potential compensation associated with your unique situation is an important step towards deciding if pursuing a lawsuit makes sense for you.

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.
