About Carlson Bier

Personal Injury Lawyers in Granville Illinois

Welcome to Carlson Bier, a premier personal injury law firm located in the heart of Illinois. As seasoned attorneys specializing in personal injury cases, we understand that accidents happen every day causing enormous distress and financial loss to the victims. Our primary mission is ensuring you get the just compensation you deserve when your well-being has been compromised by an unfortunate event due to someone else’s negligence.

Personal Injury Law focuses specifically on injuries caused by another party’s carelessness or willful harmful actions. Under this legal framework, the harm suffered can be physical, emotional, or even financial. Given our vast experience and dedicated team of professionals at Carlson Bier, we serve clients who have sustained injuries from various incidents including but not limited to:

• Car Accidents

• Slip-and-Fall Accidents

• Medical Malpractice

• Workplace Injuries

• Dog Bites

Navigating Personal Injury Law may seem like a daunting task for laymen; it requires expert knowledge about federal as well as state laws and how they interrelate with one another. At Carlson Bier, we make it our duty to inform and educate our clients about their rights while presenting all viable courses of action, based on years of practice in Illinois courtrooms.

Unlike some areas of the law where statutes are black and white – under Personal Injury Law, causality or liability often resides within a grey area. The party considered ‘at fault’ might only be partially responsible– or more than one party could share culpability. Here’s how we help:

-Assessing Incident: First, we investigate each case meticulously establishing the circumstances surrounding the accident while gathering supportive evidence.

-Bargaining Settlements: We devote significant effort into negotiating fair settlements outside court.

-Litigation Process: If negotiations stall or do not yield favorable outcomes, then rest assured – Carlson Bier remains prepared to fight tirelessly for what our clients are rightly entitled through litigation.

Additionally important are time limits or “statute of limitations” that determine the period within which a claim can be filed post-incident. At Carlson Bier, we handle such critical details to alleviate your burden so you can focus on recovering.

Individuals who try handling these personal injury claims by themselves often find it difficult negotiating fair settlements from insurance companies – businesses notorious for minimizing payouts. However, hiring experienced personal injury attorneys at Carlson Bier increases your chances of obtaining diverse damages like:

• Medical expenses

• Lost wages

• Pain and Suffering

• Disability benefits

Remember, the choice of an attorney is crucial because not all lawyers possess the same skill set or resources necessary for diligently fighting these complex cases. Furthermore, we prioritize collaboration with medical personnel who help us understand our client’s injuries better while projecting future scenarios.

At Carlson Bier in Illinois, justice is never an accident—it’s a result provided through skillful representation, relentless undertaking, and patient care which pays. When life delivers unexpected blows in the form of personal injuries – remember there’s a lifeline available to pull you up: That’s what we offer here at Carlson Bier.

If you’re suffering due to someone else’s negligent acts and wondering what could be the value of your case – now is probably the best time to reach out! Don’t let uncertainty obscure your right to justified compensation. We urge you not just take our word but rather experience it for yourself – click on the button below and let Carlson Bier shepherd your path towards achievable justice today! Let us demonstrate how much worth there truly lies within your case—every step together making a difference.

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.
