About Carlson Bier

Personal Injury Lawyers in Sumner Illinois

Welcome to Carlson Bier, a widely acclaimed law firm operating in Illinois. Specializing in personal injury cases, we are devoted to empowering and supporting victims through the labyrinth of legal procedures with our extensive knowledge and expertise. Personal Injury law is associated with physical or psychological harm induced by another party’s negligence, recklessness, intentional conduct or strict liability.

These personal injuries could stem from various unfortunate situations. These include car accidents provoked by rash driving, slip and fall resulting from neglected premises maintenance, medical malpractice arising from healthcare professional(s) negligence or even dog bites due to poor control over the pet by its owner. However complex your situation might be, we assure you that Carlson Bier has the experience and acumen to navigate through it.

• We command an established track record for winning high-stake lawsuits.

• Our attorneys possess profound expertise across diverse sectors like automotive injuries,

workers’ compensation rights, medical practice settlements etc.

• At all times, we prioritize clients’ satisfaction by dedicating ourselves mercilessly

towards retrieving maximum damage recovery.

At Carlson Bier, personal injury cases are more than just about who will pay; they’re about understanding that individuals undergo immeasurable pain and suffering due to others’ callousness—the emotional upheaval often outweighing the raw costs involved. Alongside this core belief rests our commitment: Helping clients with appropriate compensation not only for their financial losses but also acknowledging their emotional turmoil.

Tangible expenses as part of personal injury claims often include medical bills—current and future ones necessary for complete convalescence—lost wages due to inability/disability following the accident preventing return to work-out-of-pocket expenses such as travel to-and-from hospitals etc. Intangible damages on the other hand encompass pain & misery (physical), emotional distress which sometimes leads to disorders like depression/PTSD/anxiety; loss of enjoyment if you can no longer pursue hobbies or activities held dear priorly..

Personal injury lawsuits are rooted in the concept of negligence. It refers to an individual’s or entity’s failure to behave with the level of care that someone of ordinary prudence would’ve exercised under similar circumstances. To establish their claim, the injured party must demonstrate some crucial points:

• The alleged party had a duty to ensure reasonable care

• There was a breach of this duty

• This violation directly resulted in harm

• Actual damages incurred due to the accident

Dealing with post-injury repercussions could seem distressing and cumbersome. However, remember you aren’t alone in it. At Carlson Bier, we pledge our utmost dedication towards each case regardless of its scale—evaluating insurance offers meticulously, gathering evidence dexterously and negotiating assertively for rightful reparations thereby ensuring prominent outcomes.

Remember that no two personal injury cases are identical—the severity varying from minor bruises/whiplashes escalating up to catastrophic injuries or wrongful deaths even which is why competence in choosing your representational attorney becomes paramount. We take immense pride at our handpicked team here at Carlson Bier populated extensively by seasoned attorneys who maneuver complex legal territories on behalf of their clients while guaranteeing total transparency/involvement and above all prioritizing client’s interests inviolably throughout.

Don’t let your sufferings dictate your life anymore; regain control and turn it around favorably through righteous legal assistance stemming from an unrivaled passion for justice combined with limitless compassion; exactly what we commit to provide 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.
