About Carlson Bier

Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Albion Illinois

At Carlson Bier, our expertise lies in providing stellar legal services to clients who have experienced the unfortunate circumstances of a motorcycle accident. Based in Illinois, we are well-acquainted with local laws, regulations and nuances that play key roles in resolving personal injury cases favorably for our clients.

Motorcycle accidents differ significantly from typical vehicular accidents due to their unique nature. When motorcyclists collide with other vehicles or stationary objects, the consequences are often severe because unlike drivers of cars or trucks, motorcyclists lack the protective enclosure offered by these larger vehicles. Riding at high speeds on two wheels leaves them more vulnerable to catastrophic injuries such as fractures, spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries.

The first crucial step following a motorcycle accident is to secure immediate medical attention irrespective of perceived severity, as some injuries may not manifest symptoms immediately but could escalate into life-threatening conditions later on.

• Preservation of Evidence: Attempt to preserve physical evidence from the accident scene if possible. This includes photographs of damaged vehicles and any visible wounds sustained.

• Document Incident: It’s important to compile a detailed account of events while they’re still fresh in memory. This can aid immensely during subsequent legal proceedings.

• Legal Consultation: Contacting an experienced personal injury attorney should be considered top priority after attending to immediate medical needs.

Active representation by skilled lawyers like ours increases your chances for obtaining fair compensation considerably. At Carlson Bier, we perfect strategies tailored explicitly for each client’s case considering the unique factors surrounding his/her circumstances.

In navigating through matters pertaining to Illinois law especially with regards to contributory negligence or establishing liability accurately requires nuanced knowledge which we possess and continually update ourselves on. We stay abreast with legislative changes and recent rulings which directly influence how we approach your case.

Additionally, insurance negotiations usually involve complex processes which can be daunting for a layperson without any prior experience or knowledge about them – another area where our representatives come in handy. It’s not uncommon to find insurance companies striving harder to protect their assets than injured individuals; they often use out of context statements or omitted information from accident victims against them. We preemptively counter such strategies through meticulous preparation both during pre-trial phases and in the courtroom.

Understanding your entitlements and how losses are calculated under Illinois law can be intricate for someone unfamiliar with its personal injury laws. Factors include but aren’t limited to:

• Medical Bills: All expenses related to treatment, recovery, rehabilitation and future care provisions if required

• Lost Income: Compensation for lost wages during recovery period as well as potential loss of earning capacity for severe cases.

• Pain & Suffering: Non-economic damages pertaining to physical pain, emotional distress among others.

At Carlson Bier we practice unwavering dedication towards ensuring our clients never feel overwhelmed by these arduous legal processes and instead focus on their full recovery while we tirelessly work behind the scenes on their behalf.

Our steadfast commitment is ultimately reflected in our track record – a testament to our skillful negotiations and strategic representation even amidst challenging scenarios that yielded positive outcomes consistently. We would be honored to represent you too; providing guidance each step during this challenging time eventually leading you towards justice helped by capable hands built on extensive experience dealing with similar cases primed by thorough understanding of Illinois’ personal injury laws regarding motorcycle accidents.

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.
