About Carlson Bier

Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Melvin Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we are a dedicated team of personal injury attorneys committed to bringing justice for those who have been hurt in a motorcycle accident in Illinois. We understand that your life can change drastically after such an incident. Many individuals suffer from physical injuries, emotional trauma, and financial losses due to these tragic events. Our main aim is to make sure you receive fair compensation and get the best possible legal representation available.

Motorcycle accidents often cause more catastrophic injuries than other vehicular accidents because motorcyclists are not as shielded or protected compared to passengers in cars or trucks. The common types of injuries one might sustain includes but isn’t limited to broken bones, road burns, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), spinal cord damages, and even death.

• Traumatic Brain Injuries: As there’s little protection during a crash besides helmets (if worn properly), TBIs are unfortunately common resulting in cognitive impairment or disability.

• Spinal Cord Damages: Could lead to temporary or permanent paralysis disrupting normal day-to-day activities.

• Broken Bones & Fractures: Can require intensive treatments like surgeries which leads to hefty medical bills piled up coupled with loss of work wage whilst recovering.

• Road Rash/Burns: Motorcyclists’ skin may scrape against asphalt leading to severe abrasions causing potential damage beyond the skin layer

When it comes to monetary recoveries, victims may be entitled for recompense regarding medical expenses – both present and future anticipated costs like rehabilitative therapy; lost wages due prolonged recovery times impacting earning abilities; pain and suffering which extends beyond physical discomfort into areas such as psychological distress; property damage compensation covering cost of repair or replacement and punitive damages if the at-fault party’s conduct was particularly egregious.

Our knowledgeable personal injury attorneys possess extensive experience dealing with insurance companies who typically attempt reducing their liability by shifting blame towards motorcyclists themselves. With us on your side, rest assured we will negotiate fiercely on your behalf to ensure just recovery for all losses incurred.

Carlson Bier’s approach is personalized, understanding that every case has its unique situations and complications. Through careful review of police reports, medical records, witness statements we develop a robust case strategy in favor of our clients. Additionally, if an out-of-court settlement isn’t feasible we’re not hesitant to take the issue forward aggressively inside a courtroom.

It’s crucial to remember that Illinois operates on ‘modified comparative negligence’ principle which stipulates victims to bear proportionate burden of their accident if they are partially responsible. Hence hiring competent legal representation becomes more important than ever because it affects how much compensation one may receive eventually.

We offer free initial consultations where we gauge circumstances around your accident and explain possible ways ahead, before you commit legally or financially towards proceeding with filing a claim. Moreover our ‘no-win-no-fee’ policy ensures you don’t have any financial risks involved even during extended legal battles.

Being injured in motorcycle accidents brings unexpected upheaval but at Carlson Bier we aim to provide some clarity amidst this mayhem by seeking rightful compensation you deserve through steadfast commitment towards our clients’ causes.

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.
