About Carlson Bier

Personal Injury Lawyers in Montgomery Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we focus exclusively on personal injury law, providing compassionate and experienced representation to individuals in Illinois who’ve been victimized by the negligent acts of others. We understand that pursuing a personal injury claim is about much more than just seeking financial compensation; it’s about holding those responsible for your injuries accountable and regaining control over your life.

Our law firm has represented countless clients across the State of Illinois over the years, recovering substantial settlements and verdicts on their behalf. For our legal team, every case tells a story: stories of people’s lives being thrown into chaos due to unfortunate accidents or negligence and their pursuit of justice thereafter.

• Skilled Negotiation: Not all personal injury cases go to trial – many get resolved outside court through negotiations with insurance companies. However, this can often favor insurers if you’re not familiar with how these processes work as they’re skilled in minimizing payment amounts. Hence, expert negotiation skill is crucial in securing fair compensation.

• Proven Courtroom Expertise: If your case does end up at trial, having an experienced attorney who knows how to navigate complicated courtroom procedures can strengthen your chances significantly.

• Comprehensive Case Management: The complexity of personal injury claims requires detailed investigation and thorough preparation to prove liability convincingly – from interviewing witnesses to gathering evidence. Involving a competent lawyer early allows comprehensive case management leading to stronger claims.

Personal injury covers various types of occurrences like Motor Vehicle Accidents (cars, trucks), Motorcycle Accidents, Workplace Incidents (construction site mishaps), Slip & Fall Accidents , Medical Malpractice Claims or Industrial Illnesses such as Asbestos Exposure . Our attorneys adopt a strategic approach while handling each type ensuring best possible outcome for our clients.

One might ask – Why should I even hire a Personal Injury Attorney? Realize that when you’re injured due to someone else’s carelessness – be it getting rear-ended at traffic stop or stepping into a poorly maintained property – it immediately leads to multiple hurdles like seeking prompt medical treatment, managing financial obligations due to lost wages and facing emotional distress. This is where the role of an experienced Personal Injury Attorney comes in.

• Ascertain all damages: Accurately evaluating the value of your claim is one of the first steps that any competent personal injury attorney will take. It’s about determining how much you should be compensated for your injuries, which can include physical pain, mental suffering, loss of income/wages due to being unable to work, ongoing and future medical expenses.

• Deal with insurance companies: An attorney serves as a crucial bridge between you and the insurers, helping ward off their tactics aimed at reducing or outright denying compensation.

• Work on Contingency Basis: Most importantly, we work on contingency basis meaning our clients don’t pay us unless we successfully secure them a settlement or win verdict in their favor making our services accessible for everyone.

No matter how complex your situation may seem, remember moral support and effective representation go hand in hand. We are committed towards ensuring both these aspects as part of our professional obligation . Transparency at every stage , clear communication outlining options & consequences , empathetic guidance based on decades long thorough understanding of Illinois law remains core principles shaping every interaction at Carlson Bier.

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.
