About Carlson Bier

Personal Injury Lawyers in Lynwood Illinois

As personal injury attorneys with years of experience and expertise, we strive every day not only to serve as trusted legal advisors but also educators who equip our clients with critical information about Personal Injury law.

Personal injuries can happen anywhere: on the commute home, at the workplace, during a shopping trip or even right on your doorstep owing to someone else’s negligence or wrongful conduct. Understanding what constitutes such incidents will help victims know when they’re eligible for compensation. Various events fall under this category including automobile accidents caused by reckless driving; slip and fall instances due to hazardous conditions; product defects leading to physical harm; medical malpractice resulting from negligent healthcare providers and much more.

Moreover, numerous profound implications come attached with a personal injury victim’s life – high medical expenses, loss of income during recovery period, mental stress and lasting disability among others – all of which calls for rightful restitution from the guilty party. Essential factors that influence such compensation include severity of injuries sustained; duration required for full recovery; amount incurred in medical bills & lost wages; impact on quality of life etc., although these vary greatly according to individual circumstances.

When dealing with insurance companies following an accident always remember you are legally entitled to damages covering current & future repercussions due to other party negligence. However convincing insurers is often complex requiring thorough evidence collection & presentation skills- precisely why consulting experienced Personal Injury lawyers like us becomes imperative.

The process begins formally by filing a lawsuit within two years since occurrence date (barring some exceptions), followed by negotiating settlements outside court if possible before then fighting passionately inside courtrooms whenever necessary. An established law firm like Carlson Bier stays duly prepared throughout this tedious process both factually – accumulating eye-witness accounts, medical records, law enforcement reports etc., and tactically – understanding insurer tactics to avoid fair payouts thereby countering those effectively.

The Personal Injury attorneys at Carlson Bier tirelessly work for justice – right from initial consultation through ultimate verdicts or settlements. By comprehensively handling your case, we aim to alleviate stress so that you can focus solely on recovery while we ensure that negligent parties face the due consequences of their actions.

Finally, experiencing personal injury is a tough ordeal involving numerous layers ranging from physical pain and emotional trauma to tedious legal procedures but remember you are not alone. Trust in the expertise of respected law firms like Carlson Bier who carry years of proven experience successfully securing deserving compensations for clients across Illinois.

Personal injury cases come laden with many intricate details and potential complexities which may sometimes be overwhelming; hence enriching oneself with apt knowledge could make significant differences ensuring rightful compensation without undue hassles. As committed personal injury attorneys, our primary motive does not just include winning casework but also educating clients making them aware about nuances empowering them throughout these difficult times.

Decoding whether your case commands financial restitution involves multiple considerations including deep investigative skills, adept negotiation power & absolute legal prowess all presented within favorable timelines according to statutory laws- complex criterions only experienced lawyers can efficiently handle successfully. Make smart choices by believing expert assistance over general assumptions as each case carries unique requirements needing specific approaches.

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.
