About Carlson Bier

Car Accident Lawyers in Enfield Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we pride ourselves on being the advocate of those who have fallen victim to unfortunate car accidents. As a prominent Illinois-based personal injury attorney group, our expertise lies in understanding and unraveling the complexities surrounding your rights and compensatory claims after an accident and making sure that you aren’t left grappling with these issues on your own.

Car accidents, unfortunately, happen daily. They can bring shocking physical injuries, immense mental distress, and lasting financial problems. Having a legal representative skilled in navigating these rutted roads can dramatically ease your journey towards recovery. Our primary prerogative is ensuring you understand the true magnitude of what compensation should entail post-accident–and we don’t limit this to just dent repair charges or medical bills.

To shed light on some key areas worth highlighting:

• You are entitled to reimbursement for any wages lost due to missed work from recovery time.

• Compensation may be claimed for emotional turmoil endured due to the accident.

• Financial coverage is deserved for future treatments if lingering health concerns or debilities persist due to the accident.

• Any damage caused by another’s negligence should not cost you a dime from your pocket.

Being well-versed in both state-specific laws and obligations of insurance companies following such incidents grants us an exceptional edge in guaranteeing clients their fair compensation without unnecessary hassle or drawn-out battles.

We believe it’s crucial that our potential clients grasp comprehensively how valuable their claims could indeed be when rightful damages are pursued forcefully; there also lies relevance in understanding the full scope of losses incurred—physical, emotional, or financial—in order for justice to truly be served comprehensively.

Here at Carlson Bier, we don’t operate like clock-in attorneys who represent dozens while forgetting faces – each client is recognized as an individual facing distinctive adversities deserving personal attention. Apart from maintaining open communication lines around-the-clock for queries or discussions; we ensure you stay updated on every development regarding your case.

Our competence lies not merely in knowledge and encompassing all aspects concerning personal injury law—we understand you, the victim. We are on your side, committed to rebuilding your life post such vexing mishaps. Car accidents can happen without a warning sign, but our preparation for fighting for justice is relentless and unfaltering at every step of this reparation journey.

It’s important to note that because we value transparency and operating under legal regulations entirely, we don’t insinuate having an office located outside our Illinois base; rather, our representation extends to any resident within the state lines who has been impacted by these staggering circumstances—even if virtual ways need bridging.

As our prospective client reading this information-rich page, a significant question you could have wondered would be—how much is my car accident claim worth? The answer isn’t generic; it depends on several factors pertinent to each case: ranging from apparent ones like medical expenses and vehicle damages—to less observable aspects extensible into future health concerns as well as psychological trauma.

To say that one-size-fits-all in attributing value here would be overwhelmingly misleading; instead—it’s crucial that every facet of incurred losses are considered with care while determining rightful compensation figures—a task we ensure will be done thoroughly shouldering your best interests alone.

We cordially invite you now to join us on this journey towards seeking deserved remuneration by taking the next step—click below to find out how much your case could potentially be worth. Trust Carlson Bier – where victims turn victors.

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.
