About Carlson Bier

Personal Injury Lawyers in Lisle Illinois

At Carlson Bier, our personal injury attorneys are committed to delivering superior legal services, advocating for those who have been victims of accidents and negligence in Illinois. Personal injuries not only cause physical pain but often emotional and financial hardship through loss of work, medical bills, and stress. As a law group with extensive experience in this sector, we endeavor to relieve these burdens by helping clients navigate the intricate process of personal injury claims.

Personal injury law encompasses various types of incidents which can result in harm or damage. In order to understand your rights better when facing such circumstances, here’s an overview:

– Auto Accidents: Whether it involves cars, motorcycles, or trucks – these are some of the most common types of cases we handle. Our team is proficient at investigating claims thoroughly to ensure appropriate compensation for our clients.

– Slip & Fall: Property owners have a legal obligation to ensure their premises are safe. If you’ve suffered an accident due to poor conditions such as slippery floors or faulty staircases, we can help secure justice.

– Workplace Accidents: These refer to any injuries sustained while performing job-related tasks. We assist workers harmed on the job resulting from factors like inadequate safety measures or faulty equipment.

– Medical Malpractice: This occurs when healthcare professionals fail to provide adequate treatment meeting standard levels of care resulting in patient injuries.

Understanding what constitutes a valid personal injury case is crucial when seeking redress for harm caused by another party’s negligence. To qualify for a personal injury claim:

• There should be evidence proving that you were injured

• The other party was negligent

• This negligence led directly to your injuries

These three aspects form what we call ‘liability’ and ‘damages,’ cornerstones in building robust personal injury cases.

The course taken by every case varies based on specifics surrounding each incident; therefore no two cases will follow exactly the same path. It could involve negotiating out-of-court settlements with insurance companies or going to court if necessary. Whichever direction your case takes, Carlson Bier has the knowledge and capacity to fight fervently on your behalf.

Navigating personal injury claims can be complicated, especially as it involves dealing with legal jargon, insurance company policies, and managing medical bills. This is where the expertise of professional personal injury attorneys like us makes a difference. With years of experience advocating for victims in Illinois, we are adept at handling all facets involving these cases.

Choosing a law firm is an important decision which should not be based merely on advertisements, but rather on our commitment to justice for you. At Carlson Bier, we believe in working hard in pursuit of fair recoveries for our clients from beginning till end.

Knowing the particulars surrounding personal injuries such as timeframe for filing cases specifically referred to as ‘statute of limitations’ forms an integral component of successful claims. In Illinois, typically one has two years from the date of accident or injury although certain exceptions may apply.

Ensuring timely action combined with competent representation significantly boosts chances of obtaining favourable outcomes. Thus procrastinating isn’t advisable when seeking appropriate legal remedies post-accident; quick decisions enable maximal benefit retrieval from potential claims.

Lastly, let’s break down what you might achieve through a successful lawsuit: compensatory restitution aimed at reimbursing costs related directly to injuries sustained (medical bills); damages catering future costs (long-term care); recovery allowance for lost wages while recovering; compensation assigned by courts covering pain & suffering endured owing to injuries; punitive damages awarded in extreme situations where actions leading to injuries were malicious or egregious.

At Carlson Bier Attorneys at Law LLC., we will tirelessly work towards maximising all possible avenues seeking due compensation following accidents causing detrimental effects both physically and financially.ZIf you’re grappling after an unfortunate event which was no fault of yours but yet left you injured and confused about claiming lawful compensation rightfully owed — remember help isn’t far away.

Taking the vital step of understanding your rights is the first move towards justice and recovery. Don’t stay in the dark! You don’t have to face this difficult situation alone. Give yourself that edge and empower your legal journey by collaborating with our specialist team providing comprehensive support throughout the process.Invest a few seconds more, click on the button below; discover what you’re entitled to fairly claim for

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.
