About Carlson Bier

Personal Injury Lawyers in Warren Illinois

Welcome to Carlson Bier, your trusted Illinois-based personal injury legal experts. As a renowned personal injury attorney group, we specialize in navigating numerous areas that demand our unique expertise and intrinsic understanding within this realm of law. Our mission is not just to represent but also to educate and inform those curious about or affected by personal injury occurrences.

Firstly, it’s pivotal to understand what constitutes a “personal injury.” Generally speaking, any harm inflicted on an individual’s physical body or emotional well-being comes under this domain. This could be as severe as an accident leading to significant medical costs and rehabilitation or where one has experienced psychological trauma due to someone else’s negligence or intent.

At Carlson Bier, we’ve built our reputation dealing with the following types of cases:

• Auto Accidents

• Workplace Injuries

• Slip & Fall Incidents

• Medical Negligence

• Product Liability

As the landscape for each case variety differs immensely, so does our strategic approach in tackling them. Our aim is always ensuring appropriate compensation for victims and addressing their concerns with empathy and assurance.

Navigating through these legal matters can often seem overwhelming; however, with the right guidance offered at Carlson Bier – every client receives personalized attention tailored as per their case requirements.

A key factor when considering rightful compensation lies within the parameters of negligence proven in court against the defendant involved in causing the personal injury. The process involves three central components:

– Proving that there exists a legal duty between parties,

– Establishing breach of such duty,

– Demonstrating damages done as a consequence

Even though claiming damages may sound straight forward theoretically – its practical execution can become dubious without professional legal consultation. At Carlson Bier, we’re committed to taking meticulous care throughout this process – from gathering evidence supporting your claims to vehemently advocating for you during trial sessions if need be.

One universally worrying aspect surrounding most people opting for legal help is cost-related apprehensions. It bears emphasizing that at Carlson Bier, you don’t need to worry about any upfront fees or hidden monetary burdens looming overhead while deciding on legal counsel. We confidently hold our payment contingency policy: we only get paid once you do – upon satisfactorily settling of your compensation claims.

At the end of the day – personal injury cases hinge majorly around two big drivers: timing and details! Delays can significantly harm potential settlement opportunities given many states’ statute of limitations surrounding these cases. Minute factual errors can also stand detrimental against claims made in court.

We’re not just here for legal representation but to offer comprehensive support and guidance throughout this potentially stressful journey for each client who walks through our doors.

It’s time for you to take a decisive step forward rather than remain stagnant owing to apprehensions about navigating ‘legal maze’. By choosing Carlson Bier, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that we focus entirely on every significant aspect surrounding personal injuries – be it logistical consultation, zealous courtroom advocacy or tactful negotiation assistance all aimed for your benefit!

So, why wait when the solution to mitigating your worries and ensuring rightful financial reimbursement is merely a click away? Assertive action today could differentiate between under-compensated stress or rightful restitution. Allow us- at Carlson Bier, your partners in recovering hope during trying times- to lead you down the path towards justice!

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.
