About Carlson Bier

Personal Injury Lawyers in Hoopeston Illinois

Welcome to Carlson Bier, your premier choice for personal injury attorneys in Illinois. With our dedicated team of skilled and experienced lawyers, we are committed to providing our clients with reliable guidance and effective legal solutions when it comes to matters related to personal injury law. Personal injuries can result from a myriad of circumstances, including car accidents, workplace mishaps, medical malpractice, and wrongful deaths amongst others.

At Carlson Bier, we understand how such incidents can alter the course of one’s life dramatically. Dealing with an unexpected physical trauma alongside mounting bills can be overwhelming. Our aim is centered around alleviating this burden by ensuring that you receive the justice and fair compensation you rightfully deserve in light of your ordeal.

Our vast working knowledge entails a detailed understanding of personal injury law in Illinois which enables us to guide you through each step with unparalleled clarity:

• We illuminate how pertinent laws function: Different circumstances follow different legislations; for instance, car accident-related injuries focus on driver negligence whereas work-place related accidents evaluate employer liability.

• Educating about The Statute of limitations: In Illinois, the deadline for filing a personal injury lawsuit is two years—subject to the specifics surrounding each case—which adds importance to consulting an attorney as promptly as possible after an accident.

• Advocating For Just Compensation: This includes coverage for medical bills, lost wages due to inability to perform regular duties or potential future income if long term disability sets in. It also encapsulates non-economic damages like pain and suffering endured due to the incident.

Protocol following an accident is paramount – obtaining medical attention swiftly even if no immediate signs manifest ensures protection over your health first but simultaneously aids claim support acknowledging all possible injuries sustained during the incident- apparent or latent.

Efficient communication forms a pivotal part of our service promise at Carlson Bier. From keeping our clients updated on their case proceedings consistently thereby eliminating uncertainty throughout what may feel like a daunting process otherwise -to being receptive to individual doubts or concerns, we ensure the provision of personalized service every step of the way.

We specialize not just dealing with insurance companies but also other parties involved in your suit. We understand how vital it is to handle negotiations effectively -a realm where our lawyers’ expertise and experience play a pivotal role. From ensuring that injury-related costs are accurately calculated to fighting diligently for fair settlements that rightfully compensate our clients for their anguish and loss, Carlson Bier ensures dedicated representation.

Moreover, in scenarios when out-of-court settlements do not prove satisfactory or possible, moving a client’s case to trial becomes a plausible option. Rest assured, our team brings proficient litigation skills coupled with an encyclopedic understanding of personal injury law proceedings which ensures support through your legal journey irrespective of its path.

Experience handled matters at Carlson Bier; however knowledge dispensed grounds firmly on transparency thus educating clients about potential related expenses forms an integral part of consultations conducted here. While generally personal injury cases work on “contingency fees” basis (pay only if you win situation), insight regarding extraneous charges like court fees can provide clarity allowing you better judgment while trusting us with your pressing matter.

Remember: Trustworthy legal counsel after any accident is essential – this becomes even more pertinent if severe injuries are involved or when financial losses exceed minor dents but equate hefty sums paired alongside dispute over who should be held accountable for the accident.

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.
