About Carlson Bier

Bicycle Accidents Lawyers in Lincolnshire Illinois

At the Carlson Bier law firm, our primary focus revolves around bringing justice to those who have sustained harm resulting from bicycle accidents. As a reputable Illinois-based personal injury attorney group, we are more than familiar with local laws and guidelines involved in such cases. Bicycle accidents often lead to serious physical and financial damage. Regardless of whether you’ve been struck by a car or tripped over an unseen hazard on your morning ride, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain caused.

Bicycle accidents primarily occur due to four main factors: negligent behavior by motorists or cyclists themselves; failure of road users to follow traffic regulations; faulty cycle design or production; or hazardous conditions of roadways such as potholes. Becoming an innocent victim in any such circumstance can be exasperating, leaving one feeling helpless and financially drained.

However, securing the right legal representation can drastically alter this course. When it comes to dedicated legal professionals in this domain, the attorneys at Carlson Bier stand second to none with their relentless pursuit of gaining rightful compensation for affected individuals.

• We collect crucial evidence directly pertaining to the accident in order to present a strong lawful case.

• Our team delves into finding all possible liable parties – not just drivers but also defective product manufacturers and neglectful authorities responsible for maintenance of roads.

• Estimation of comprehensive damage costs is undertaken thoroughly including immediate medical expenses along with future rehabilitation costs and loss earning potential.

• Clients are shielded from dealing with insurance companies which might aim at low-ball settlements – we negotiate aggressively on behalf of victims while standing poised for trial if need arises.

Navigating through various complexities surrounding a bicycle accident case isn’t something victims should tackle alone. Without pertinent knowledge about state nuances regarding vehicular accident claims and ample experience in extractive compensative amounts legally owed from stubborn insurance providers — securing sufficient compensation becomes overwhelmingly challenging.

Allow us at Carlson Bier Law firm to lend our expertise; sparing you the unnecessary stress and ensuring experienced handling of pivotal aspects. We gather robust evidence, identify liable parties, estimate potential compensation, manage medical records – all while keeping clients abreast of their case developments.

The aim at Carlson Bier is not just winning cases but facilitating a smooth recovery journey for victims with minimal discomfort. This expands beyond courtrooms involving guiding clients on how to handle property damage claims or aiding them find specialized care providers when required. Our commitment towards client welfare echoes in every action we undertake that augments an overarching peace-of-mind for those under our representation.

While no two bicycle accident scenarios can be identical, several legal principles apply across in determining coverage parameters which essentially focus upon proving negligence of another party as primary cause of injury sustained. Herein lies the value that professional legal counsels like ourselves bring about. We’ve never shied away from tough battles and have continuously strived to attain fair monetary results for each one of our clientele establishing us among top contenders within Illinois’ personal injury law landscape.

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)

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.
