About Carlson Bier

Personal Injury Lawyers in Hull Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we understand the impact a personal injury can have on your life and believe that you deserve efficient, effective legal representation. Specializing in personal injury law in Illinois, our dedicated team of seasoned attorneys works diligently to provide compassionate support and robust advocacy for our clients throughout their journey towards justice. We aim to assist individuals who often find themselves navigating an intimidating legal world after an unforeseen accident or injury has disrupted their lives.

Personal injury law is designed to provide an avenue of recourse for those who are physically or emotionally hurt due to another party’s negligence. The principle anchored within this branch of the law rests on holding accountable parties responsible for their carelessness that caused harm.

Understanding the nuances associated with varying types of personal injury accidents is essential when seeking appropriate compensation. Personal injuries can occur under various circumstances such as auto accidents, product liability mishaps or slip-and-fall incidents:

• Auto Accidents: Involving passenger vehicles, motorcycles, trucks or pedestrians where one party’s negligent behavior results in physical harm to others.

• Product Liability: Occurs when a consumer is injured by a faulty product due to design defects, manufacturing errors or misleading advertising.

• Slip-and-Fall Incidents: This involves scenarios where poorly maintained properties lead to injuries owing to falls and harmful surface interactions.

Mastering these complexities becomes easier with the assistance of our skilled lawyers at Carlson Bier who commit themselves wholeheartedly to substantiating your rights and attaining the compensation you fully merit.

We recognize each person’s narrative differs; therefore, no two cases are identical in nature. Our approach embraces thorough investigation methods including collection of evidence, interviewing witnesses and working closely with medical experts for case strengthening purposes.

Our main objective lies not only in winning your claim but also securing optimal financial relief relevant for covering medical bills, lost wages during recovery periods and future healthcare costs associated with injuries sustained from the incident.

Moreover,

Carving out questionable notions bears its rewards. With the Carlson Bier team guarding your rights, insurance companies will find it challenging to exploit you or manipulate facts concerning your case. Our deeply rooted belief in a client-first approach ensures personal concerns are addressed timely and clients receive regular updates on their claim progress.

Personal injury laws come equipped with strict deadlines known as statute of limitations varying by state; Illinois rendering two years typically from date of accident occurrence or realization of subsequent injuries. Failure to act within these stipulated time frames can potentially result in lost opportunities for receiving compensation.

No matter how daunting, our legal professionals at Carlson Bier stand ready to guide you every step of the way through this intricate process – compassionately, confidently and consistently.

We welcome any questions you may have and extend an invitation to schedule an obligation-free consultation where our attorneys can gain better insights into aiding best with your unique situation while outlining potential courses of action available in line with Illinois law regulatory frameworks.

Though various online calculators make rough estimation profiles based on generic data inputs possible, they seldom take into account unique aspects pivotal to each case calculation stance including nature of sustained injuries, injured person’s age/occupation or key elements related pecuniary calculations like future medical treatment costs foreseeable.

As such, we encourage precise evaluation derived across personalized conversations allowing us at Carlson Bier gaining fair appreciation regarding individual situations forming basis towards thorough damage valuation assessments deemed fit.

Remember the guidance required navigating complex avenues arising during severe aftermath periods is close-at-hand bubbling out expert lens vision that aids in illuminating murky shadows evolved across strategies adopted often by insurance firms looking at mitigating payout responsibilities deflecting off liability areas focusing on blame shifting tendencies onto injured victims rather than true culprits.

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)

AAA Aerostar, Inc., 294 Ill.App.3d 801, 229 Ill.Dec. 20, 690 N.E.2d 1067, and Cincinnati Insurance Co. v.
