About Carlson Bier

Personal Injury Lawyers in Palatine Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we distinguish ourselves not only by the top tier legal counsel we provide in Illinois but also through our consistent commitment to prioritizing client needs and delivering definitive results. We are focused on practicing personal injury law to ensure that our strengths and expertise can garner maximum returns for those who have sustained injuries as a result of the negligence of others.

Personal injury refers broadly to any harm inflicted on an individual’s body, mind or emotions. The core concept is significant because it makes clear that there needn’t be physical damage in order for circumstances to constitute an injury case – even emotional scarring could legally qualify as a personal injury. However, proving certain elements would make your claim much stronger: Proving fault (that someone’s carelessness caused your accident), verifying substantial injuries or losses occurred from the accident are examples.

Every case has its unique intricacies which necessitate careful handling with refined thoughtfulness. At Carlson Bier, our lawyers stay abreast about every development and detail relating to personal injury laws, making us competent allies who can help guide you towards retorting optimal damages in recompense of the pain inflicted due to no fault of yours.

Our repertoire includes assisting with cases such as:

• Vehicle accidents: This category includes car crashes, pedestrian hit-and-run incidents, motorcycle collisions and more.

• Workplace injuries: Often these arise out of hazardous working environments or negligent behavior.

• Slip and fall accidents: Usually driven by lackadaisical maintenance protocols or neglectful property owners.

• Medical malpractice: This aspect involves physicians or healthcare professionals causing harm due to negligible treatment procedures.

Navigating through a personal injury incident without professional legal assistance can lead one down daunting paths clouded with bureaucratic complexities leading nowhere except frustration and despair. Amidst chaotic surroundings post-accident when dealing with insurance companies becomes convoluted due to their fine-print designed policies ensuring bug protection against payouts – at Carlson Bier we facilitate creating a buffer zone between you and organizations.

Your focus should be on healing – physically and emotionally. To alleviate your pain, we manage all the legal logistics from start to end – this includes assembling pertinent documentation, attending court hearings, negotiating a maximum settlement with insurance companies or pushing for favorable courtroom verdicts when necessary…all while keeping you abreast with progress-based updates at every twist and turn of events.

In line with our attorney-client philosophy built around personalized attention – Carlson Bier makes sure each case receives an individual approach, rather than bundling every claim into some defined category just for convenient management. Our comprehensive network pulsating with diligent team members cognizant about latest legislative landscape changes ensures that your chances to translate personal injury wounds into warranted justice improve dramatically.

Choosing us as your stalwart companions in these trying times means working together towards achieving one common goal – ensuring whoever is responsible goes through the due mechanism designed by law enforcing bodies as it also becomes a deterrence against any future careless behavior; improving societal responsibility levels ushering progress in our communities’.

The process of tackling personal injury cases begins now; don’t waste another minute waiting for conditions to become ideal, because frankly speaking they seldom do – there’s always something or someone waiting in line further complicating proceedings making it pivotal that experts like Carlson Bier step up front leading charge towards extracting rightfully deserved reparations maximising your potential recovery.

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.
