About Carlson Bier

Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Casey Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we are a personal injury law firm dedicated to serving individuals who have been the victim of a motorcycle accident in Illinois. Our experienced team understands that navigating through the aftermath of an accident can be overwhelming and stressful. We strive to lessen this burden by providing competent representation and securing maximum compensation for our clients.

Motorcycle accidents might occur due to many reasons such as negligent driving by other motorists, poor road conditions, equipment malfunction, or violation of traffic laws. Regardless of the cause, these accidents can result in serious injuries including road rash, burns or fractures, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), spinal cord and other life-altering damages.

• High-risk maneuvers: Some motorcyclists choose aggressive lane changes or illegal passing methods which expose them to greater risks.

• Speeding: Excessive speed is a major contributing factor in many motorcycle crashes

• Alcohol impairment: Driving under influence jeopardizes everyone on the roads.

• Lane-splitting: When motorcycles ride between two lanes of halted or slow-moving vehicles – common cause of multi-vehicle pileups.

Understanding the root cause behind a motorcycle crash helps us identify liable parties beyond just another driver involved. It could be a government entity responsible for road maintenance if hazardous conditions contributed to-the-collision; product manufacturers may collapse if faulty parts led-to-an-accident.

We emphasize that every case is unique and therefore deserving of meticulous analysis from our attorneys. What separates Carlson Bier from others lies in our commitment – we’re not here to settle quickly but rather stake on stronger cases which take longer but yield higher recoveries.

Our delicate approach empowers victims’ rights while holding guilty parties accountable. This principle resonates with everything from gathering evidence/eyewitness testimonies relevant to your situation; medical experts who quantify your losses/injuries; insurance dealings where adjusters create least possible settlements; courtroom strategies building persuasive arguments around-your-case.

Let’s focus on compensatory damages which vary widely: medical expenses; lost wages from missing work; property damage- your motorcycle may require significant repair/replacement. Pain, suffering and emotional distress often impact victims enormously post-motorcycle accidents – don’t overlook these aspects when evaluating true costs!

In addition to these sources of recompense, punitive damages may be applicable where defendant’s behavior is evaluated as particularly careless or intentional. Carlson Bier employs rigorous methods in harnessing these potential gains for you.

An important aspect we underscore is that personal injury claims, including those arising from motorcycle accidents can often be time-sensitive due to statute of limitations placed by state laws. It’s imperative for victims seeking legal recourse to act promptly and access rightful justice.

Remember – partnering with a competent law firm like Carlson Bier puts forth the resources and expertise you need while combating repercussions stemming from motorcycle accidents across Illinois. Our compassionate team stands ready to guide you every step of-the-way, ensuring your rights are protected while striving towards optimal outcomes.

Our laser focus on client satisfaction paired with demonstrated success track underscores why Carlson Bier consistently ranks among premier personal injury lawyer groups in Illinois. Don’t let a motorcycle accident throw life out-of-gear – allow us in navigating complex lawsuits simplifying victory paths forward.

Accidents not only disrupt life but also inflict financial strain through medical bills, loss-of-income etc. Establish this fact upfront and ensure fair compensation covering everything-from-tangible (medical-costs) onto intangibles such-as-pain plus-suffering…

Carlson Bier understands the overwhelming challenges faced after motorcycle accidents – our mission lies in buffering those hardships easing road-to-recovery!

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.

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.
