About Carlson Bier

Car Accident Lawyers in North Aurora Illinois

Welcome to Carlson Bier, your reliable team of dedicated personal injury attorneys based in Illinois. Our foremost commitment is to cater to the needs of individuals who’ve been affected undeservedly by the actions or inactions of others, specifically concerning car accidents.

Often, circumstances surrounding car accidents are complex, overwhelming and may leave victims grappling with numerous unanswered questions. At Carlson Bier, we believe it’s an indispensable part of our role as legal experts to demystify these issues for you.

A major tenet driving traffic accident laws in Illinois establishes that a sufficient degree of negligence on the part of a person involved must be proven before any claims and damages can be extracted from insurance companies or private defendants:

• The first element involves proving that the defendant owed you –the victim– a duty of care.

• Second is demonstrating that this duty was breached.

• Thirdly, substantial evidence must prove that this breach caused your injuries.

• Lastly, it’s equally crucial to show that real injury and damage were sustained.

Given these multifaceted conditions essential for establishing liability following auto accidents, legal guidance cannot be overemphasized. With vast experience and deep industry knowledge at our disposal, Carlson Bier stands headstrong in helping clients navigate through all stages pertinent to their cases.

Hence-forward your journey seeking justice shouldn’t have to feel like traversing difficult terrain alone! We leverage our expertise honed over years handling cases like yours with passion and professionalism. From investigating accident scenes independently alongside trusted accident reconstruction experts; through dealing with police reports and medical records; right up till fierce court room advocacy when necessary: we never back down until justice prevails!

Even beyond mere representation during litigation processes – if ever one commences – or negotiation sessions aimed towards settlement achievement outside courts: we offer profound consultation services spanning across underestimated consequences common among most car crash victims:

• Painful physical injuries easily steal the attention while significantly less visible mental trauma gets overlooked frequently. The emotional distress and psychological impact birthed by such traumatic experiences can be equally as damaging, an aspect we do not take lightly at Carlson Bier.

• Lost wages resulting from time spent away from work due to accident-induced incapability can accumulate into substantial financial burdens over time. If you are grappling with this challenge following your auto collision scenario, our expert attorneys can assist in recovering these lost income amounts thus helping lighten the load.

Your justice quest should never feel like a daunting battlefield where navigation feels akin to walking a precarious tightrope! Through expert guidance and empathetic understanding of your challenging situation, we endeavor to turn these rocky grounds into lanes of hope where redress is more than just a distant mirage but a plausible reality!

At Carlson Bier, it’s never just about compensation volumes alone – though equally significant – rather; it extends deeper unto ensuring that victims do not end up chained in the confines of injustice arising from personal injuries inflicted unjustly upon them.

Before wrapping up our informative exposition tailored specifically towards enlightening potential clients like you; it remains important once more to reiterate that ardently proving defendant negligence stays key towards winning any car accident claims within Illinois jurisdiction. Meanwhile remember: amid all complexities looming over legal landscapes following vehicular accidents – especially those birthing severe consequences – help always stands only one call away!

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.
