Personal Injury Lawyers in Palos Hills Illinois

Welcome to Carlson Bier; your trusted personal injury law firm, proudly serving the citizens of Illinois. Our commitment to exceptional legal representation has established us as a steadfast advocate for individuals facing personal injury cases.

Personal injuries can be life-altering, bringing forth overwhelming medical expenses and loss of income during recovery periods. They often occur unexpectedly, leaving victims in distress and turmoil with insurance companies that may try to resist giving undone compensation. The complexity of navigating these hardships can be considerably reduced by a knowledgeable attorney specializing in this legal sector.

That’s where we come into play. At Carlson Bier, our devoted lawyers remain consistently at the forefront defending the rights of those who have suffered personal injuries in various circumstances including car accidents, slip & fall incidents, workplace accidents or medical malpractice among others—you name it. We are more than equipped with firsthand experience and intricate knowledge of current Illinois laws relating to such matters inspiring effective strategies tailored uniquely to each case scenario.

Here we point out fundamental aspects pertaining to our services:

• A thorough analysis: Regardless of how minimal an accident may seem initially, significant repercussions might transpire over time—thus turning what was regarded as trivial into a matter requiring substantial attention.

• Dictating fair settlement negotiations: Insurance carriers always aim to minimize potential losses availed through compensations issued. With expert intervention from our attorneys here at Carlson Bier though, you’re assured every dime rightfully deserved.

• Unmatched legal representation: Our persistence extends beyond boardrooms alone; fierce representations extended even at court levels when deemed necessary ensuring justice delivered is always unbiased towards our clients’ favor.

Understanding Personal Injury Laws within the State of Illinois is another aspect undoubtedly bearing utmost significance too when tackling related incidences—it outlines one’s rights after an incident or act leading into an unwarranted harm inflicted physically or psychologically thereof;

1) Statue of limitations: Injured parties are restricted by limited timeframe for filing lawsuits following their respective happening clocking two years from the onset of such injuries stemming onto legal repercussions when failed adherence is recorded.

2) Comparative fault: This provision decrees that should a victim bear some fault in regard to their injury, any damages awarded will be reduced intimately proportional to that degree of fault.

3) Damage caps: Certain types of personal injury claims enforce limits on the amount recovered. For instance – non-economic damages in cases raised against medical practitioners possess an upper cap limit—possibly affecting potential compensations issued severely ultimately.

Therefore, are you among those who’ve suffered unexpectedly out of another party’s negligence? Uncertain about your rights or how much monetary assistance lawfully due? At Carlson Bier, we believe no one should not only bear pain and suffering undeservingly but also encounter colossal hurdles seeking justice every time they fall prey to unreasonable injustices certainly avoidable given proper observances on safety by considered perpetrators around Illinois. Pursuing these tough conversations with insurance companies or at courtrooms single-handed may deprive you valuable compensations received if guided rightly so by competent attorneys as displayed here within our accomplished firm.

Allow us handle these distressing pursuits for rightful compensation while precious focus remains directed towards making a full recovery from said ordeal tranquilly. We genuinely yearn for an opportunity extended helping cogently navigate through arising complexities providing assuring solace throughout each phase embarked—an experience indeed proving invaluable given exceptional results reflected previously upon cases handled diligently attributing to clients’ satisfaction favorably voiced.

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)

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.
