About Carlson Bier

Personal Injury Lawyers in Savanna Illinois

Welcome to Carlson Bier, your reliable personal injury attorneys in Illinois. We specialize in protecting the rights and interests of those who have suffered due to the negligence or misconduct of others. When injuries happen, bring your legal concerns to us.

Personal injuries can range from minor accidents to life-altering mishaps, with consequences that resonate far beyond physical pain. The emotional trauma, loss of wages, medical costs and overall fiscal pressure resulting from another’s carelessness shouldn’t be burdensome for you any longer. At Carlson Bier, we offer comprehensive services focused on alleviating these added worries while ensuring justice prevails.

Our practices in Personal Injury Law are extensive:

• Motor Vehicle Accidents – Collision-related injuries not only give rise to medical expenses but also potential property damage.

• Medical Malpractice – This occurs when a healthcare professional deviates from standards in their profession causing patient harm.

• Workplace Accidents – These could stem from poor safety measures or carelessness at a place of work leading to an accident.

• Slip and Fall Cases – Upon entering premises maintained or operated by another party, they assume responsibility for your wellbeing within reason.

• Wrongful Death – This particularly tragic category involves cases where death is caused by direct action or negligence.

Each case has its nuances; no two situations are alike. Our team meticulously works through every detail surrounding your injury as it forms the base upon which compelling arguments are built – this process allows us to explore all possible avenues for financial compensations you rightly deserve.

Clients often wonder: ‘Why hire a personal injury attorney?’ Well here’s why: Time allocated towards legal battles means less time healing; countering insurance companies alone is complex; assessing claim worth accurately without professional help is challenging and seeing into future costs associated with an injury is near impossible–all actions best undertaken by seasoned professionals such as our expert attorneys so you don’t have to worry amidst battling ongoing tribulations caused by unfortunate incidents.

Understanding costs associated with retaining our services is crucial. At Carlson Bier, we offer a contingency fee structure, which means no payment unless we win your case. In legal terminology this is known as “no win, no fee.” This makes pursuing lawful justice accessible for all, regardless of financial situation.

We at Carlson Bier believe in transparency. We maintain open channels of communication; keeping you informed about dynamic developments of your case while providing insight into possible outcomes and recommended courses of action – every step towards achieving justice taken together fostering an environment where trust & reassurances flourish.

You can request a complimentary consultation to discuss your case in confidence with one of our highly experienced attorneys who will guide you through the process answering any questions that may arise along the way.

As personal injury laws dictate strict timelines for seeking legal recourse often termed as ‘statute of limitations’, it’s advisable not to delay initiating proceedings–every ticked second aids us in building formidable cases focused on attaining rightful compensations on behalf of clients like yourself navigating life after unprecedented hardships caused by personal injuries inflicted due to others’ negligence or recklessness.

Our geographical scope spans throughout Illinois without specific localization – ensuring comprehensive representation across various jurisdictions within state boundaries clearing confusions around physical reach posed by most law firms helping effective fight against injustice wherever you are based or have been hurt within Illinois.

Finally, determining what your case is worth isn’t always immediately clear-cut but significant factors influencing settlements include severity and long term consequences associated with sustained injuries alongside expected recovery periods among other subjective aspects; hiring proficient personal injury lawyers like those housed under the reputable banner of Carlson Bier allows validating claim worth effectively shielding from being shortchanged by insurance companies wary over payouts.

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.
