About Carlson Bier

Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Central Illinois

Personal injury law is an intricate area of practice that demands substantial experience, meticulous attention to detail and a profound commitment. For those who have suffered bodily harm as a result of road motorcycle accidents in Illinois, having a seasoned personal injury attorney by your side, such as us at Carlson Bier, can make all the difference.

As legal professionals specializing in personal injury cases involving motorcycle accidents, we strive to give our clients the best possible representation. Every case starts with understanding the dynamics of motorcycling – its inherent risks and how it differs from other vehicular transportation methods. Motorcycles lack the physical protection cars provide and are less stable than vehicles with four wheels. Furthermore, they are not as visible due to their smaller size. Together these factors increase both susceptibility to accidents and severity when injuries occur.

Outlining specific reasons for bicycle-accident related injuries, some primary causes include reckless driving or speeding by other motorists on the road or failure to yield right of way during traffic turns or lane changes – errors mainly committed by others that sadly impact you.

A brief overview:

• Less visibility: The majority of motorists often look out only for larger automobiles rather than motorcycles.

• Reduced stability: Due to just two wheels compared to four in cars.

• Lack of Physical Barrier: Unlike cars where there are airbags or seatbelts as safety measures for drivers; motorcyclists do not have this added advantage.

These disparities amplify the complications linked with motorcycle accidents, making them unique from regular car accident cases. It correspondsingly necessitates distinct legal expertise – precisely what we offer at Carlson Bier law firm located across various cities throughout Illinois (but remember we’re not implying that we’re located in Central). Our impressive success rate stems from our deep understanding of each aspect resulting from motorcycle collisions ranging from dealing with insurance companies who frequently undervalue claims to considering potential lifetime medical expenditures incurred due to severe injuries such as traumatic brain or spinal cord injuries, and broken or fractured bones.

Our job as your legal representatives goes beyond court proceedings. It involves educating you on each process, arranging the requisite documents, proving liabilities against the guilty party, negotiating maximum compensation with medical personnel and insurance companies (current medical bills and projected future treatment costs), compensation for loss of income if you cannot return to work promptly- all while ensuring unfaltering emotional support.

Upon choosing Carlson Bier for legal representation in a motorcycle accident injury claim:

• We instantly start investigating your case.

• Constitute an infallible argument substantiating every component of damage.

• Negotiate aggressively with insurance providers.

• Prepare meticulously for trial if negotiation isn’t feasible (we won’t shy from taking that route if it’s what needed).

No one should have to endure through such tumultuous times alone — least of all someone who is already bravely suffering from physical injuries and mental distress because of another party’s negligence.

We genuinely believe in supporting our clients to attain justice they rightfully deserve. Our vast understanding about personal injury law involving motorcycle accidents allows us to bring out superior value—by both – manifesting it into concrete financial settlements/ verdicts aligned in favor of our clients and providing much-needed peace during these unsettling times.

Now that you’ve been informed on facts about our extensive expertise in dealing with motorcycle accidents within Illinois jurisdiction, perhaps it’s time to explore further?

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.
