About Carlson Bier

Construction Site Accident Lawyers in Ashmore Illinois

Here at Carlson Bier, we stand as pillars of legal support for the afflicted and the disenfranchised; for those who have experienced setbacks or actual physical harm caused by unforeseen construction site accidents. Our robust team of personal injury experts in Illinois champions your interests, pursuing your just compensation with unrivaled tenacity.

In our richly woven history is a plethora of successfully fought cases relating to Construction Site Accidents. We possess an acute understanding that these forms of accidents are incredibly common yet largely underreported due to misinformation or lack of knowledge about one’s rights. In fact, every year thousands of workers either lose their lives or get severely injured in such incidents, necessitating extensive medical treatments and often resulting in permanent disability. This affects not only the victims but resonates deeply within their families too.

As accomplished legal professionals, Carlson Bier shines a light on several key subdomains related to Construction Site Accidents:

• Injury Liability: The nature and extent of liability lie at the crux of any personal injury claim stemming from a construction site accident. This entails comprehensive identification and rigorous investigation into all possible negligent parties — be it contractors, subcontractors or equipment manufacturers.

• Workers Compensation: Despite widespread misconceptions surrounding this topic, nearly all employees injured on work sites can make valid worker’s compensation claims irrespective of fault attribution.

• Third-Party Claims: If your injuries were influenced by another party apart from your employer (like improper machine functioning or defective equipment), you could initiate third-party claims over and above workers’ compensation benefits

Familiarizing oneself with these facets takes us closer towards demystifying the complexities embedded in Construction Site Accident cases while reinforcing the importance of expert legal guidance throughout what is otherwise an intensely stressful journey.

The same degree of diligence extends into handling catastrophic injury law disparate from workplace mishaps – automotive accidents, slip & falls, product liabilities among others – broadening our realm beyond typical constructions sites. And while our primary objective remains ensuring your access to necessary medical treatments with due compensation for lost wages and pain, we go the extra mile in securing fringe benefits that reinforce your long-term wellbeing. This may encompass vocational rehabilitation costs if you’re unable to return to your previous occupations or even disability benefits depending on case specifics.

However, every personal injury scenario is distinctively unique— demanding a tailored legal approach weaving together all available evidence powerfully. Here at Carlson Bier, our exclusive blend of empathy-fuelled engagement and hard-hitting representation epitomizes our promise of ‘Justice Delivered’. Within an environment where most attorneys possess sufficient knowledge about law but falter in their interpersonal connections with clients – getting invested in their predicaments – we proudly break this normative pattern.

Rest assured; when you choose us as your allies, not only do you reap comprehensive courtroom representation but also obtain guidance meant for the whole person rather than just one facet – legal direction dipped generously in compassionate care. It’s with this holistic backdrop that we aid victims towards reclaiming control over their interrupted lives while maneuvering seamlessly through the folds of complex litigation procedures shrouded in legalese.

Yet while this narrative glosses over key factors related to Construction Site Accidents and associated avenues ensuring rightful justice — it fits inadequately within this finite configuration. The exhaustive entirety of how precisely Carlson Bier can bolster your chances of full recovery rests beyond these words waiting to be discovered by those who dare believe their worth concerning justice done right amidst odds standing tall.

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.
