About Carlson Bier

Car Accident Lawyers in Wyanet Illinois

Welcome to Carlson Bier, your trusted personal injury attorneys located in Illinois. Our stellar reputation of providing comprehensive and successful representation for individuals who have been harmed or wronged stems from our dedication toward client satisfaction and zealous for justice.

One such area we tremendously focus upon is motor vehicle accidents— an unfortunate circumstance that tends to occur unexpectedly disrupting lives severely. Car accidents are not just mere road mishaps; they often bring drastic changes physically, emotionally and economically into the victims’ life. The necessity of a seasoned attorney becomes vital when negotiating with insurance companies or fighting a lawsuit to help you secure due compensation.

Four dominating factors play pivotal roles behind the scenes post an accident: Who was at fault? What injuries were incurred? What losses had happened? Was it preventable?

Determining liability is critically important. It varies depending on whether the state follows no-fault or tort system guidelines. In Illinois, we adhere to the comparative fault rule meaning if you hold any percentage of blame towards causing the accident then your entitled compensation will be reduced by your corresponding fault proportion.

Injuries sustained in car accidents are vast ranging from minor bruises or fractures extending up to serious spinal cord damages or traumatic brain injuries having severe implications like immense physical pain & suffering, loss of earnings during treatment & rehabilitation phase ultimately burdening with outrageous medical expenses.

Documenting your financial fallout logically categorized under various heads – direct costs (eg., hospitalization bills), indirect ones (eg., missed work hours wage), intangible costs (eg., pain & suffering) and future related expenditures (e.g., physiotherapy) takes us one step closer towards chalking out appealing claims ensuring balanced reimbursements.

Accidents might not always be accidental! Defective automobile parts, ignored maintenance routines leading up to breakdowns need aggressive probing exposing negligent automakers’ responsibility held liable for designing an unsafe product proving another facet where our expertise powerfully come into play.

Carrying significant experience in dealing with complex legalities surrounding car accidents, we at Carlson Bier always strive to offer more values to our prospective clients. Here are a few crucial points emphasizing the steps we take:

• Comprehensive analysis of your accident scenario factoring all potential legal angles.

• Meticulous investigation paired with expert witness coordination for corroboration.

• Rigorous negotiation with insurance adjusters aiming at optimum settlements.

• Efficient management of healthcare provider bills ensuring you aren’t overcharged.

• In case of trials, presenting compelling arguments make us stand from rest.

Strategising our lawsuit approach based on each incident’s unique nuances have led us to facilitate maximum compensation routinely. We treat every client individually and ensure that they are taken care through this tumultuous journey.

When facing such unprecedented havoc it’s taxing enough trying to assemble pieces of normalcy back into routine life; fighting your legal battles need not be an added worry. At all times, you can trust on our unwavering commitment towards safeguarding your interests.

Through this educational discourse on car accidents, we intend to empower you by bringing clarity that when unfortunate incidents occur, time-tested lawyers like Carlson Bier are dedicatedly fighting these causes honouring justice system principles solely and wholeheartedly aimed at facilitating deserved compensations working tirelessly towards restoring lives post-accidents.

Accidents do happen but victimizing unfairly doesn’t necessarily follow suit. While navigating the complicated pathways leading up to claim customs overrun with jargons, bundling challenges might feel overwhelming almost pressing towards under settlement options which ideally shouldn’t be the case. Determined representation is what we assure unquestionably enveloping comprehensive assistance cohesively approaching from necessary documentation accumulations ranging until effective negotiation showcasing assertiveness rightfully paid off as due rewards for our priceless clients.

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.
