About Carlson Bier

Personal Injury Lawyers in Oneida Illinois

Welcome to Carlson Bier, your premier personal injury attorneys based in the heartland of Illinois. We understand how overwhelming it can feel when life takes an unexpected turn due to personal injuries and accidents, which is why we’re here by your side, fighting for justice and fair compensation on your behalf.

Personal injuries come with a host of potential losses—from medical expenses and lost income to physical pain and emotional trauma. Here at Carlson Bier, our expert lawyers will work relentlessly to help you regain stability after facing such ordeals. Let’s delve deeper into a couple of key points about Personal Injury:

• There are different types of personal injury cases – including traffic accidents, slip and fall incidents, product liability occurrences and workplace accidents among others.

• The compensation you’re entitled to depends heavily on the specific circumstances related to events leading up to and following your injury.

• It’s not just the immediate loss or damage – ongoing therapy sessions, pain management treatment, future wage loss are all critical factors that must be considered when seeking damages.

Notably, in Illinois there is a time limit set by law known as Statute of Limitations for filing a personal injury claim—which means every minute counts in securing legal representation. At Carlson Bier we take this urgency seriously while assuring you’ll never be rushed through important decisions about your case.

Our legal professionals commit substantial resources towards carefully investigating each case. This meticulous approach allows us not only uncover crucial evidence but also develop winning strategies tailored specifically for every individual client’s unique situation.

Pay attention also to how insurance companies may factor into your case—they might seem friendly and supportive immediately after an accident—but they represent their financial interests first before yours; therefore having accountable attorneys from Carlson Bier handle these interactions can go long ways in saving you unnecessary stress or settling for less than what’s genuinely deserved.

Helping hundreds navigate through their hardest times has been the cornerstone of our practice at Carlson Bier- of course, each case is different and outcomes vary. However, we promise to bring forward the same undying effort for comprehensive research, strong negotiation and formidable representation in court when necessary that has led many Carlson Bier clients towards gratifying results.

Our unwavering commitment is matched by our robust credentials – The lawyers at Carlson Bier are licensed to practice law not just in Courts of Illinois but also United States District Court. Equipped with experience on both ends of the legal arena—plaintiff as well as defense litigation—we approach every case comprehensively using this balanced perspective.

As personal injury laws can be complex, it’s best to seek advice from experienced lawyers such as those enlisted at Carlson Bier who’ll guide you starting with a complimentary consultation discussing potential courses of action given your unique circumstances. Remember that most personal injury attorneys work on a contingency basis—you pay no upfront costs and only pay an attorney’s fee if we win your case. At Carlson Bier we champion this model firmly believing justice should never be out-of-reach for anyone due to financial constraints.

Lastly, don’t forget one thing – time is critical after an accident or injury; waiting might reduce chances of recovering maximum compensation you’re entitled to– so take the first step today itself towards asserting your rights!

Click on the button below now to determine how much your case might be worth with absolutely no obligation from your side! Together let us lay foundation toward achieving fair compensation aligned with securing dignity and quality life you deserve post adversity. We look forward to serving you soon 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.
