About Carlson Bier

Personal Injury Lawyers in Grandwood Park Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we understand the heavy impact a personal injury can have on you and your loved ones not only physically but financially and emotionally as well. As one of Illinois’ highly renowned personal injury law firms, our primary objective is to ensure that those affected by personal injuries get the compensation they undoubtedly deserve.

Personal injuries can be severe and life-altering. In essence, this refers to an injury that arises due to negligence or wrongful conduct of another party. They range from car accidents, dog bites, medical malpractice to workplace accidents among many others. Our robust legal team at Carlson Bier equips its knowledge and unparalleled expertise in representing clients across these broad categories with absolute dedication.

• Accidents involving motor vehicles: These are some of the most prevalent causes of personal injuries in Illinois. Victims in these instances may suffer whiplash injuries, fractures, spinal cord damage or traumatic brain injuries.

• Medical Malpractice: This issue severely breaches the trust patients place in their doctors or healthcare providers making it particularly devastating.

• Workplace Accidents: Such incidents result from hazardous working conditions wherein employers fail to prioritize employee safety.

• Slip & Fall Incidents: These typically occur when public spaces such as shopping malls or private residences fail to maintain a secure environment for visitors and occupants.

The key element underlining each case hinges on “liability.” That is determining who was legally at fault for causing the injury – be it an individual entity or corporation. Herein lies our first goal at Carlson Bier – identifying who should bear legal responsibility for your suffering.

Next comes assessing “damages,” which fundamentally means calculating the cost of your accident – financials covering medical bills, lost wages along with intangible costs like pain & suffering. Importantly, we believe every client’s case deserves utmost attention where summarizing ‘damages’ isn’t merely about number crunching but comprehending how deeply the incident impacts your current lifestyle as well future prospects.

Principle in Illinois damages compensation follows an incredibly effective mechanism – Comparative Negligence. This means that the amount you’re entitled to recover may be reduced if it’s found that you were partially at fault for your injuries. Our standout attribute as your trusted counsel is expert negotiation skills, relentlessly working towards maximizing any probable reduction being enforced on you.

Navigating through legal jargon and procedures can indeed prove daunting for oneself while recuperating from personal injury stressors. At this juncture, our role evolves beyond merely representing you legally. Being staunch advocates of client rights, we step into continuous open communication with hospitals and insurance companies, ensuring not just a quick but entirely fair settlement to appropriately compensate you for the injury-induced ordeal faced by you.

At Carlson Bier, we charge no upfront fees providing free consultations because solidifying your trust forms our key philosophy rather than mere revenue generation. Importantly, emphasizing transparency throughout ensures each progress milestone is communicated jointly maintaining clarity on what stage stands current and how we plan on taking it forward successfully.

Believe in us when we say – ‘we genuinely care about your welfare’. With strict adherence to ethical law practice principles layered over decades of experience fighting diverse personal injury cases in Illinois sets Carlson Brier apart from other law firms around.

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.
