About Carlson Bier

Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Milford Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we firmly believe that victims of motorcycle accidents deserve effective and comprehensive legal representation. We are committed to providing just that – serving as a relentless advocate for our clients who find themselves in the unfortunate circumstances of enduring the aftermath of such incidents.

As premier Illinois personal injury attorneys with an established reputation, we understand that motorcycle accidents often result in severe physical injuries, emotional trauma, and significant financial burdens due to medical bills and lost wages. Our goal is to ensure those affected receive adequate compensation. In pursuing your claim, it is crucial to be aware of some key aspects:

– Unlike car occupants, motorcyclists lack protection during a crash, meaning even minor accidents can lead to severe injuries.

– Intersections are most notorious for these types of accidents as drivers fail to notice motorcycles when changing lanes or turning.

– One must never underestimate the damages caused by road defects like potholes or inadequate signage – they play major roles in causing such mishaps.

– Notably, negligent motorists who violate traffic rules contribute substantially toward motorcycle-related accident cases.

Deciphering the cause of your accident plays a pivotal role in determining liability. Whether it’s a reckless driver failing to yield right-of-way or neglectful roadway maintenance contributing to an unexpected event leading towards loss/damage. Moreover, product liabilities may also come into play where malfunctioning bike components lead to serious implications— all these elements fuse together creating possible channels for financial recovery after your ordeal.

Evidence collection including photographs from the scene and professional evaluations can provide substantial clarification during investigations— strengthening your case remarkably well. Medical records play an integral part too acting as irrefutable proof regarding severity inflicted upon you thus helping accurately quantify deserving refunds easing your journey back towards normalcy.

Navigating complexities arising out of insurance intricacies can feel overwhelming especially while juggling treatment schedules — operating under this duress heightens risks related with potential pitfalls hindering fair settlements. This calls attention towards undeniable importance reflected by engaging legal professionals who can guide, support and aggressively fight undertaking all necessary steps to attain maximum compensation duly representing your interests.

Remember, time is of the essence. Illinois law imposes a statute limitations — typically allowing a window of only two years from the accident date (with certain exceptions) to proceed with filing personal injury lawsuits. Engage promptly with our proficient team who are experts in unlocking paths towards rightful resolutions while diligently ensuring no opportunity slips through the cracks because you were unaware.

At Carlson Bier, our commitment goes beyond recovering financial damages; we aim to secure justice commensurate to emotional suffering inflicted upon victims alongside irreversible impacts on their lives. We pursue every possible avenue of recovery, relinquishing accumulated stress associated with medical bills or lost wages so you get back on track undeterred.

Finally, it’s important to understand that each motorcycle accident case is unique and requires specialized attention. Whether you’re dealing with insurance claims procedures or deciding to take your case to court— every step demands strategic planning tailored specifically for catering individualized requirements ensuring top notch solutions dedicated towards fulfilling your immediate needs as well as long-term stability.

We understand that gravitating towards decision-making under these challenging circumstances could feel overwhelming but remember utilizing expertise from seasoned professionals like Carlson Bier significantly uplifts chances in navigating this complex pathway.

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. 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.
