About Carlson Bier

Personal Injury Lawyers in Fox Lake Hills Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we understand and empathize with the emotional distress caused by personal injuries. Our dedicated team of lawyers specialises in offering comprehensive legal advice and representation for victims who suffer loss due to another party’s negligence. We prioritize serving our clients throughout Illinois with unmatched dedication. Every case is handled personally, ensuring every detail is extensively researched and examined with expert care.

Personal injury law covers a vast array of situations where an individual might be physically or psychologically injured as a result of someone else’s actions. Various cases can fall under this ambit – car accidents, slip-and-fall incidents, medical malpractice, wrongful death cases, product liability claims – just to name a few. Depending on the specifics of your situation these laws are designed to help individuals receive compensation for their losses including but not limited to medical expenses, lost wages from inability to work during recovery or permanent disability. For us at Carlson Bier giving you clarity means everything – so let’s break down some key elements:

• Statute of Limitations: In Illinois, personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years from when the injury occurred or was discovered.

• Fault Laws: Illinois operates under a ‘modified comparative fault’ rule affecting how much compensation one can receive depending on their part in causing the accident.

• Damage Caps: Specific limitations apply about how much you may be awarded for various damages.

Carving out robust strategies based on in-depth understanding tailored specifically according to your individual circumstances separates us from other Law firms across the state. Nothing embodies professionalism more than personalized attention and outcomes that align with each unique scenario.

Our diverse staff boasts substantial litigation experience over decades-long careers – battling insurers for rightful compensations owing to our clients after mistreatment following traumatic events leading up to Personal injuries. The vast web spun around insurance claims makes it hard for average citizens unfamiliar with laws related intricacies; however partnering with our experienced team shields you from such overwhelming hurdles.

As champions of justice, we firmly believe in securing the best possible conclusion for your case. Rightful compensation isn’t just about financial benefit but standing up and making a statement against such intolerable behavior. We aim to establish a strong deterrent for others contemplating similar offenses – helping make Illinois safer by reducing instances of negligent behavior.

Moreover, we understand that legal fees can be an additional burden. Therefore, Carlson Bier operates on a contingency basis – meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case. While it’s impossible to predict with 100% accuracy what any particular lawsuit might yield in terms of payout without understanding every minute detail regarding the injury and its impacts; our team pledges full transparency providing clear insights throughout each step forging ahead together side by side.

Establishing grounds for lawsuits or insurance claims requires certain steps including extensive evidence gathering: medical records illustrating injury severity, accident scene photographs, eyewitness testimonies – all critical components proving another party’s carelessness caused one’s suffering. Our attorneys efficiently tackle these requirements allowing clients to focus on recovery rather than constant paper-chasing and countless phone calls.

Remember there’s no such thing as too early when contacting us following a Personal Injury situation – waiting could potentially damage your case due to expiration statutes presenting significant risks to rightful compensations.

At Carlson Bier, passion drives us. The satisfaction derived from seeing justice delivered fuels our unyielding commitment ensuring every client receives unwavering aid protecting their rights.

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.
