About Carlson Bier

Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Barry Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we are committed to advocating for clients who have suffered personal injuries, particularly in the aftermath of motorcycle accidents. Based in Illinois, our specialization includes a keen focus on these types of incidents that often result in severe emotional trauma and extensive physical injury. When motorcycles collide with larger vehicles or objects, the cyclist stands at a disadvantage due to the lack of protective barriers between themselves and the other party. Consequently, accidents tend to cause catastrophic damage.

Motorcycle accidents can occur under various circumstances. Factors like fault maintenance of roads, reckless driving by other motorists, incorrect signage or road markings, manufacturing defects in the motorcycle itself or even adverse weather conditions can contribute to these unfortunate events. Irrespective of the reasons behind your accident, our team will offer unwavering support and robust advocay till you receive fair compensation for all losses suffered.

Understanding your rights following a motorcycle crash is paramount and here at Carlson Bier we ensure you’re fully enlightened. Some essential points include:

– Injured bikers are entitled to recover damages for past and future medical bills.

– Compensation for lost earnings if you were unable to work post-accident.

– You have a right to seek damages for pain and suffering experienced after the incident.

Our primary goal is helping you comprehend these critical points related to injury recovery which helps establish credibility concerning liability issues surrounding your case.

Personal injury claims involving motorcycles can be intricate because they incorporate complex aspects such as determining who was ultimately responsible for an accident – this could be another motorist or it might also involve city council if poor road maintenance was an issue; there’s always potentiality of multiple parties being involved rather than one.

The team at Carlson Bier boasts extensive expertise in investigating accidents thoroughly while leaving no stone unturned when pursuing relief on behalf of our clients. We gather robust evidence including police reports photographic material from accident scene witness testimonials medical records showcasing severity of injuries etc., all aimed towards building a cogent case.

Once we’ve amassed enough information and conducted requisite analysis, our team begins negotiations with the at-fault party’s insurance company. We realize that insurers often tend to offer settlements falling short of what victims deserve, hence diligent negotiations are instrumental in ensuring you receive rightful compensation. If negotations don’t bring desirable results, rest assured we’re prepared to litigate your case endorsing your interests tenaciously.

Remember – the value of a motorcycle accident claim varies greatly based on nature and extent of injuries sustained, liability aspects involved as well as financial losses incurred due to inability to work or added expenses for treatment etc. Translated into basic terms, evaluation of these claims requires meticulous consideration of multiple factors exhibiting differing weights.

At Carlson Bier, our philosophy centers around delivering personalized attention backed by comprehensive legal counsel which is why each client is more than just another file number; they are individuals grappling with challenging circumstances whom we are dedicated towards assisting effectively.

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)

AAA Aerostar, Inc., 294 Ill.App.3d 801, 229 Ill.Dec. 20, 690 N.E.2d 1067, and Cincinnati Insurance Co. v.
