About Carlson Bier

Personal Injury Lawyers in Round Lake Beach Illinois

Welcome to Carlson Bier, home of distinguished personal injury attorneys in Illinois. Known for our relentless pursuit of justice and commitment to our clients, our law firm has carved a niche in the challenging field of personal injury law.

Personal Injury Law is an umbrella term that covers several situations where individuals get injured due to others’ negligence or intentional acts. It majorly includes accidents (such as vehicle, workplace), medical malpractice, product liability, premises liability, and wrongful death cases among other scenarios.

Understanding the gravity and potential complexity of these scenarios is crucial for one seeking rightful compensation.

• Accidents: Whether it’s a car accident or a mishap at your workplace, if injuries have been inflicted because of someone else’s carelessness, you deserve accountability from those responsible.

• Medical Malpractice: If healthcare providers fail in their duty towards patients leading to harm or further complications; they can be held accountable under this section.

• Product Liability: Products should deliver what they promise without endangering consumers’ safety. When products malfunction causing harm, producers can be legally followed upon.

• Premises Liability: Own property carries the responsibility of ensuring its safety for visitors. A slip on an icy sidewalk or sustaining injury due to broken stairs falls under this category.

• Wrongful Death: The loss caused by another party’s negligence resulting in fatality falls into this section.

With the spectrum covering such diverse instances emphasizing why comprehensive understanding often necessitates legal guidance. At Carlson Bier, we are devoted to providing easy-to-understand explanations about personal injury laws thus exemplifying our reader-friendly approach.

One imperative aspect most people overlook is Illinois’ statute of limitations – i.e., timeframe implemented by legislation within which lawful action could be taken post-occurrence. For instance – In personal injury cases like accidents etc., typically you only have two years from the date of occurrence to file your lawsuit failing which may lead to loss pertaining legal right on claiming the damages.

A personal injury claim also comprises multiple components like economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages refer directly to financial losses: medical bills, property damage, lost earnings etc. Non-economic damages are injuries with no direct monetary connotation but equally significant: pain and suffering, loss of companionship, emotional distress etc. At Carlson Bier, our expert attorneys endeavour in working intricately on all possible aspects ensuring you get your rightful coverage bringing justice to your inherent ordeal.

While these pointers provide a general depiction of personal injury law in Illinois, each case is unique with its own set of challenges and merits. Our seasoned attorneys at Carlson Bier believe in understanding the clients’ individuality while structuring an effective gameplan, focusing explicitly on their needs making them feel adequately represented securing ideal outcomes for them.

We firmly believe knowledge is power; sharing insights about nuances involved will equip one better navigating through legal terrain so here’s another important piece – As per Illinois regulations adverts implying presence within a city without having physical location thereon such as ‘Personal Lawyer in Round Lake Beach’ or ‘ Personal Lawyer located in Round Lake Beach’ stand prohibited. We respect and adhere to this regulation stringently providing clarity regarding the physically established locations we serve from.

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.
