About Carlson Bier

Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Marion Illinois

As a premier law firm in Illinois, Carlson Bier is proud to stand firmly at the forefront of personal injury law, adamantly supporting and fighting for victims of motorcycle accidents statewide. Our dedicated team of attorneys is steeped with diverse knowledge and abundant experience in providing top-tier legal representation tailored specifically towards clients involved in motorcyclist mishaps.

Navigating life after a motorcycle accident can be disorienting, fraught with physical pain, emotional trauma and financial distress. In these challenging times, retaining the services of skilled, compassionate and tenacious attorneys like those at Carlson Bier becomes vital. Our team lends not just rigorous advocacy but crucial support through every step – from insurance disputes to heated courtroom face-offs.

Your treatment after a motorcycle accident hinges critically on understanding specific key aspects:

– State Laws: Unique state laws apply to motorcyclists that could impact your case.

– Injury Evaluation: Medical examinations must thoroughly evaluate any injuries or potential health repercussions resultant of the incident.

– Evidence Gathering: The collection and preservation of evidence require careful attention to detail.

– Legal Representation: Choosing well-seasoned lawyers will significantly influence your case outcome.

Motorcycle accidents often bear serious consequences, more severe than car accidents due to less vehicular protection offered to motorcyclists. Common injuries include broken bones, traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord damage and road rash. Recoveries can lead to prolonged hospital stays costing exuberant medical bills coupled with loss from missed work wages further complicating sufferer’s situation causing undue burden.

At Carlson Bier, we understand how overwhelming it can seem amidst this chaotic whirlwind which is why meticulous representation focuses on winning maximum compensation covering medical costs, lost income during recovery or long-term disability if necessary which you rightfully deserve following such an ordeal.

Insight gained over years practicing extensively in the field has informed us that motorcycle accident cases closely tie into two main areas:

– Negligence Law: An overriding principle where if a motorist’s negligence caused the accident, they should shoulder the resulting costs. It grants victims the ability to recover losses incurred via legal action.

– Insurance Law: Most States require carrying insurance for property damage and bodily injury. However, navigating this web of rich jargon in complex policy contracts can be daunting which we can help decipher.

Staying abreast with current laws is pivotal in providing optimal services as lawmakers continuously make changes that significantly impact claims like yours. Our up-to-date approach ensures adherence to those changing nuances while keeping your interests at heart throughout.

We want you to know that you are not alone; empathetic towards your plight, our attorneys apply their experience towards realizing rightful settlements promptly alleviating some stress these distressing times inflict enabling healing physically and emotionally without incessant worry about financial ruin hovering over your recuperation journey.

Here tenaciously ready is Carlson Bier – prepared to fight tooth and nail relentlessly pursuing rightful justice because every individual rightfully deserves competent representation advocating there cause diligently – through thick or thin.

Understandingly apprehensive about possible exorbitant fees potentially digging into already tight purse strings post-accident? Fret not! At Carlson Bier, we wholeheartedly believe that everyone deserves fully committed representation regardless of their financial situation, therefore adopting contingency fee arrangements familiar within personal injury law spectrum meaning you pay absolutely nothing unless awarded victory translating to no out-of-pocket costs ensuring you get the much-needed representation without adding undue financial concerns.

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.
