About Carlson Bier

Slip And Fall Accidents Lawyers in Nashville Illinois

Carlson Bier Associates is a premier law firm based in Illinois. As experts in personal injury litigation, we specialize in cases involving slip and fall accidents. These types of accidents can be serious and potentially life-changing events that demand meticulous legal representation from experienced attorneys.

A slip and fall accident occurs when an individual slips or trips on someone else’s property, resulting in bodily harm. It falls under the broader area of premises liability cases where the negligence of a property owner directly contributes to injuries sustained by another party. Legal jargon aside – if you’re injured due to someone else’s lackadaisical handling of their premises – you’re privy to pursue a lawsuit with our aid.

At Carlson Bier, we know full well how debilitating these incidents can be. Not only are victims impacted physically, but they are often left grappling with financial strains accrued from medical bills and lost wages resultant of recovery periods. We’ve highlighted key aspects to consider:

• Scenario: Slip and fall accidents usually transpire because surfaces aren’t maintained properly – icy walkways not salted during winter months, wet floors without proper signage indicating danger or debris strewn areas presenting unexpected impediments.

• Claim Categorization: Claims are categorized into two main sections – comparative fault system (where jury determines blameworthiness) Vs contributory fault system (victim’s blame percentage reduces compensation). Illinois employs the comparative system.

• Time frame for Claims: In accordance with Illinois state law, any claim must be filed within two years following your accident.

• Compensation: Potential payout revolves around pain endured both physical (immediate trauma, subsequent surgeries) mental (emotional distress), loss of regular earnings apart from settlement for future monetary burdens likely to crop up owing to recurrent treatment expenses.

With such complex factors at play, every precipitating element matters; even what seems minute could extend substantial influence over your case’s outcome.

Leveraging expansive knowledge garnered from years of successful litigation, our attorneys will craft a detailed and persuasive lawsuit that truly represents you. We look at every bit of evidence – understanding the circumstances leading to your accident, consulting with medical professionals on the severity of your injuries, examining police reports or any related documents you may have – all dedicated resources aimed towards formulating the strongest possible case.

Beyond attending court duties; be assured that we also persistently negotiate settlements on behalf of clients with stubborn insurance companies who seldom prioritize victim interests. Our goal? To ensure you receive full and fair reparations for losses endured through a process as stress-free as conceivable.

Navigating personal injury legalities can appear overwhelming – especially while healing from corporeal trauma; but having Carlson Bier Associates on your side certainly doesn’t hurt. Allow us to take up the reins while you concentrate solely on mending back health.

Finding out how much your slip and fall accident case is worth shouldn’t be a mystery. Our no-obligation, free consultation offers expert insight into what compensation claim could await you – contingent upon compensatory factors collated around pecuniary harm undergone and future probabilities factored in. Don’t let apprehension cloud judgment calls warranted on rightful entitlements; it’s our job as dedicated personal injury lawyers to guide every step taken representing rightly deserved claims asserted.

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.
