About Carlson Bier

Personal Injury Lawyers in Washington Park Illinois

A cornerstone of access to justice for all, Carlson Bier serves as your trusted partner when you face personal injury situations in Illinois. As a respected law firm thoroughly experienced with the intricate legal landscape, our professional attorneys are well-equipped to guide you through every step of your claim process—no matter how complex.

Personal injury law seeks to protect the rights of individuals who have been injured due to someone else’s negligence. Accidents can range from motor vehicle accidents, workplace accidents, medical malpractice incidents, and even slip-and-fall cases – all resulting in pain and suffering, emotional trauma or financial loss.

Carlson Bier is intimately familiar with Illinois laws governing these types of circumstances and offers a wealth of knowledge and expertise. Our dedicated professionals will prioritize your interests, ensuring that:

• Your case is handled in an efficient yet thorough manner

• All necessary investigation processes are completed

• Essential paperwork is carefully filled out and filed on time

• You receive compassionate guidance during settlement negotiations

Our main aim at Carlson Bier is leveling the playing field for our clients against powerful insurance companies or larger entities striving to minimize their liability. With us by your side, trust that we will firmly advocate for you while working tirelessly to maximize your compensation.

Another critical aspect where our experience comes into play involves understanding different types of injuries and their potential implications on one’s quality of life. Some may require lifelong care or result in significant income loss due to inability to work—factors which must be considered when striving for fair compensation.

This calls attention towards two primary categories within personal injury:

– General Damages: These cover non-economic losses such as emotional distress or decreased quality of life.

– Special Damages: These compensate quantifiable expenses like ongoing medical treatments or lost wages.

In litigating these matters efficiently, maintaining open communication becomes fundamental. At Carlson Bier Attorneys Group, we believe clear information exchange plays a significant role between a law firm and its client, serving as the fulcrum around which trust is built.

We consider educating our clients about their rights under Illinois law an absolute commitment. From illustrating how contributory negligence can affect your claim to explaining comparative fault laws in easy-to-understand terms, we strive to keep clients informed every step of the way. Our warm and transparent approach consistently aids victims overcome challenges from daunting legal battles while placing them towards recovery’s fast track.

Choosing a personal injury attorney is just as crucial as deciding on treatment—both decide your pathway towards restoration. At Carlson Bier, we bring together a team of seasoned attorneys with years practicing law within Illinois jurisdiction, having extensively dealt with cases like yours. We don’t simply practice law; we craft precise strategies aiming for optimal outcomes attuned to individual case narratives.

It’s important to realize that not all injuries show immediate symptoms – some may only appear over time gradually affecting your health or ability to work productively. If you’ve suffered any form of personal injury due to someone else’s fault, reach out immediately despite seeming minor concerns initially—we’ll conduct necessary inquiries beginning straight at the consultation stage aiding in getting the compensation needed you’re legally entitled to receive.

No one plans on getting involved in accidents, but when unfortunate events do occur it’s crucial having both medical practitioners treating physical concerns and proficient attorneys addressing potential monetary issues collaboratively working by your side protecting your best interests—restoration entails more than mere physical healing—it involves systematic financial recuperation too.

Merely enduring trauma doesn’t equate having an existent personal injury claim—you need skilled attorneys who know exactly what makes a compelling case defying powerful adversaries leveraging superior resources usually beyond individual capacities. Hence if you seek experienced partners representing your case vigorously inside and outside courtrooms affirming justice get served where deserved—the choice becomes clear – trust Carlson Bier Group making reliability combined with deep expertise our relentless motto protecting valued clients unconditionally.

Enduring pain and suffering from an accident can be one of the hardest experiences anyone has to go through. There’s no reason for you to face it alone or feel overwhelmed by a complex legal process. Allow Carlson Bier to lighten your load.

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.
