About Carlson Bier

Personal Injury Lawyers in Tinley Park Illinois

Welcome to Carlson Bier, your premier personal injury attorneys based in Illinois. We are deeply committed to providing foremost legal services for individuals who have been unfortunate victims of accidents or negligent acts that result in personal injuries. Our purpose is dictated not only by a fervent desire to represent and protect the rights of our clientele but also by an obligation to offer education on Personal Injury law – thereby making a difference in people’s lives through awareness and information.

Personal injury law has several distinct facets that you must understand—more rightly so if you aspire to navigate your way successfully within this complex dimension. It primarily addresses instances where one party’s negligence leading to an accident causes another party physical harm. These incidents might diverge from automobile accidents and slip-and-falls at public premises, medical malpractices, wrongful deaths—to even animal bites!

Key pointers about Personal Injury Law:

– Anyone sustaining injuries can advance a claim against the responsible entity or person.

– Compensation includes costs covering medical expenses, lost wages, vocational rehabilitation, home care needs, among others.

– Plaintiffs need proof showing they suffered damages and those damages were due to the defendant’s negligence or intentional actions.

Crucially, Personal Injury cases revolve around the concept of negligence; without demonstrating it conclusively against the accused party or entity—you cannot instigate a feasible case. A competent personal injury lawyer identifies areas proving negligence while safeguarding you from counter-allegations likely brought forth by powerful insurance companies.

At Carlson Bier, our knowledgeable personal injury lawyers strive hard every day – studying latest developments in Illinois’ legislature concerning domestic laws—further fortifying their comprehension about local courts’ workings as well as verdict tendencies that inevitably play crucial roles when handling our client-cases strongly and efficiently.

We believe communication plays an integral part throughout litigation processes which typically become quite protracted often lasting months—even years! Keeping clients abreast with systematic progress-reports not only nurtures trust but enables them to make informed decisions about their future. Moreover, it gives us deeper insight into each client’s individual situation thus fostering better understanding—ultimately leading to stronger case handling!

With Carlson Bier in your corner—you gain a formidable ally whose adept understanding of the law is unmatched! Our illustrious track-record replete with numerous successful lawsuits has cemented our reputation across Illinois as one of the most trusted personal injury attorney groups.

Valuing an individual case in Personal Injury Lawsuits can be quite complicated, considering factors like extent of injuries sustained, medical bills incurred, lost earnings and more. A competent lawyer from our team aids you with this evaluation accurately and ensures you are compensated duly for both economic and non-economic damages.

However, time-sensitivity remains a crucial factor as Illinois imposes a strict two-year statute of limitations from incidents-date (or point where victim first realizes the injury) within which victims must file personal injury claims. If they fail—regardless of how strong a case may have been—it will not be heard; further emphasizing why prompt legal intervention drastically betters outcomes!

Our lawyers operate on contingent fees—which means unless we manage winning claims—we don’t charge anything! We absorb all upfront costs including courtroom preparations and filing charges so that our clients can focus on what truly matters – getting well soon without financial worries looming overhead!

This process may seem daunting but remember that while many choose to navigate alone often miss out essential legal benefits simply due to lack of familiarity or complete unawareness! On board with Carlson Bier means having experienced professionals readily available for guiding step-by-step whilst minimizing mistakes drastically affecting overall settlements.

We invite you now to take your leap towards justice and rightful compensation by clicking on the button below—an easy-to-use feature designed specifically for assessing potential value your case might hold. Are you ready? Let’s commence on this journey together right away—and remember—we at Carlson Bier are always here just email or a phone call away, tireless in our pursuit to serve you better.

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.
