About Carlson Bier

Slip And Fall Accidents Lawyers in Greenup Illinois

Welcome to Carlson Bier, a personal injury attorney group with a deep-rooted tradition in Illinois. We’re your reliable partner and dedicated guide through the complex legal landscape of personal injury law, especially when it involves Slip and Fall accidents.

Slip and fall accidents are one of the most common types of personal injury claims we handle. These incidents happen unexpectedly, resulting not just in painful physical injuries, but also significantly impacting your financial stability due to mounting medical bills and lost wages during recovery. Grounds for such lawsuits often involve instances where owners or custodians fail to maintain hazard-free environments, leading to slips or trips on wet floors, icy patches, uneven surfaces, poorly lit areas or even misplaced objects.

At Carlson Bier –

• We understand how disrupting these accidents can be.

• Our commitment is helping you navigate smoothly through the complexity of legal processes.

• We firmly believe that our clients should obtain maximum compensation for their pain and suffering as well as any other damages incurred due to negligence by third parties.

Let’s debunk some misconceptions around slip and fall cases: Being injured does not automatically mean there’s a viable case against the property owner. A successful claim must prove that the owner was aware (or should have known) about hazardous conditions yet chose not to rectify them promptly leading directly to your injury. This is why obtaining expert legal counsel plays such a crucial role; Carlson Bier lawyers are trained professionals who understand every facet of this particular law.

We conduct thorough investigations – identifying hazards & irregularities responsible for causing your accident while compiling substantial evidence including photos/videos, witness testimonies and maintenance logs among many others. Once evidence has been collected we work tirelessly advocating for you ensuring full transparency through each stage partnered with relentless determination towards securing rightful compensation.

Shouldering this burden alone can seem insurmountable; add medical procedures plus dealing with insurance companies into the mix without appropriate knowledge or understanding – you’re likely disadvantaged and potentially under-compensated. At Carlson Bier, our goal is ensuring that every client receives the professional assistance they deserve.

Understanding Representation Costs:

A natural concern many have when considering legal representation revolves around costs. We operate on a contingency fee basis – essentially meaning if you don’t win, we don’t get paid! Our earnings are based strictly on obtaining a winning settlement or verdict for our clients. This not only offers financial reassurance but also instills confidence knowing your attorney is working in your best interest at all times.

As skilled personal injury attorneys, we’re here to provide unwavering support throughout your recovery journey while fervently fighting for maximum compensation on your behalf. By entrusting us with your case, it leaves you free to focus primarily on healing without undue stress of dealing with complicated legalities involved.

In summary – if you’re an unfortunate victim of slip and fall accident caused by another party’s negligence or disregard – remember; time is critical. Illinois law stipulates specific deadlines (known as statute of limitations) within which such claims must be filed usually two years from date of incident though exceptions may apply depending on circumstances.

You are more than just a case number to everything we do and honor lies in offering comprehensive support tailored towards addressing individual needs while pursuing justice assiduously – bringing culprits to book while tight-knitting safety nets shielding victims against undue hardship transitioning back into normal life post-recovery.

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.
