About Carlson Bier

Personal Injury Lawyers in Wauconda Illinois

Whether you’ve experienced a vehicular accident, workplace incident, slip and fall, or any other type of personal injury in Illinois, navigating the legal landscape can seem overwhelming. At Carlson Bier, we understand your predicament — the stress of recovering from your injuries coupled with the pressure of seeking rightful compensation can indeed be burdensome. Our professional team of dedicated attorneys are committed to supporting clients like you through this often convoluted process and strive for optimal outcomes.

Personal injury law encompasses a broad spectrum of incidents that unjustly inflict harm upon an individual. These range from auto accidents–which are among the most common—to dog bites and medical malpractice.

• Auto Accidents: If you have been injured due to another driver’s negligence, our lawyers will guide you through submitting claims for both physical and emotional damages.

• Premises Liability: This includes cases related to slips, trips or falls caused by hazardous conditions on another’s property.

• Medical Malpractice: Facing negative health consequences as a result of inadequate or harmful medical treatment? Our proficient lawyers will construct a solid case for accountability.

• Worker’s Compensation: Suffered an injury while on duty? You might be eligible for worker’s compensation. We’ll help decipher complex regulations so that you get fair recompense.

At Carlson Bier, we utilize our expansive knowledge of Illinois’ state laws alongside meticulous investigative skills to craft robust legal strategies tailored specifically to each client’s circumstances. Leveraging these approaches has resulted in multitudinous successful settlements where victims were adequately compensated for their lost wages, pain and suffering, incapacitation-related modifications as well as existing and forthcoming medical expenses.

It’s important to note that each personal injury case is flanked by ‘statutes of limitations’. In Illinois, this duration ranges between one to five years based on the nature of your grievances— amplified proof emphasizing why swift action towards asserting your legal rights is essential post-incident. Furthermore, the state law follows modified comparative negligence rule, implying you are eligible for damages only if your own share of blame is less than 50 percent. Our accomplished attorneys can assist in accurately determining liability to fortify your claim.

It’s paramount that our clients understand we don’t merely perceive them as another ‘case’. You’re not just a number at Carlson Bier— but an individual needing and deserving justice and assistance to piece life back together post-tragedy.

We’re here to offer comfort and clarity amidst the tumult—it’s precisely why our firm offers contingency fee arrangements. Plainly put, you won’t owe us legal fees until we successfully procure compensation on your behalf. We shoulder potential risks so you can focus solely on recovery– making sure the once daunting path of legal claim now becomes exhaustive yet comprehensible journey towards restitution.

And because personal injury affects more than just the victim, we extend our services to families affected by fatal accidents or wrongful deaths as well—we fight tirelessly for bereaved family members striving for compensation against the liable party.

Without doubt, these complexities surrounding personal injuries require nuanced understanding of laws along with apt representation—which Carlson Bier proudly offers within Illinois’ parameters where it enthusiastically represents its clientele—but does not imply existence in Wauconda.

At this juncture, perhaps you might be wondering how much value your case holds—and rightly so!

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.
