About Carlson Bier

Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Rossville Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we are deeply dedicated to representing victims of motorcycle accidents in their pursuit of justice. The devastating impact these events have on individuals and families cannot be underestimated; medical bills can swiftly accumulate, recovery periods may render you unable to work, and the emotional fallout is often immeasurable. As a leading personal injury attorney group based in Illinois, our mission is your protection.

Motorcycle accidents present unique challenges compared to traditional car accidents due to the increased risks associated with motorcycles – both on and off-road. Key pointers include:

– Motorcyclists suffer injuries five times more frequently than car occupants.

– Fatality rates for motorcyclists are 26 times higher than those for passenger vehicles per mile traveled.

– Injuries sustained might range from mild skin abrasions to severe traumas like brain damage or spinal cord injuries.

Understanding liability can also be somewhat complex, given that multiple parties could potentially bear responsibility for the incident – including other motorists on the road who acted negligently or irresponsibly.

Many people wrongly assume that because motorcycling carries inherent risks, they may not be entitled to compensation following an accident. This assumption couldn’t be further from the truth as irrespective of whether a cyclist was wearing protective gear or not if someone else’s negligence caused an accident, they should rightfully bear liability.

Moreover, it is worth noting that Illinois law recognizes “contributory fault.” Which means even if you were partially responsible for what happened (less than 50%), you could still recover damages – though diminished by your degree of culpability.

By partnering with us at Carlson Bier, you will benefit from years of extensive legal experience dealing specifically with personal injuries related to motorcycle accidents within Illinois boundaries. We have a deep understanding of state-specific legislation linked directly -and indirectly- influencing personal injury lawsuits outcomes in favor our clients need

Our comprehensive strategy encompasses:

• Rigorous fact-finding investigations: To ascertain each detail surrounding your case, leaving no stone unturned.

• Persuasive negotiation with insurance firms: Ensuring that you are not short-changed or unfairly pressured into accepting an underwhelming settlement figure.

• Aggressive courtroom representation if necessary: leveraging our deep-rooted understanding of personal injury law to push for favorable outcomes.

We firmly believe in providing quality legal counsel whilst ensuring open, transparent communication at all turns. You should always be aware of how your case is progressing- this we pledge.

To determine the value of a potential lawsuit following a motorcycle accident, many factors come into play – including the severity of injuries suffered, past and future medical expenses related to those injuries, loss of wages from missed work, plus pain and suffering endured. It’s also important to bear in mind any possible long-term effects like decreased earning capacity or ongoing physical therapy requirements – financially quantifiable damages that can significantly influence your claim’s final worth.

Carlson Bier aims to eliminate guesswork from this painful process by delivering results-driven advocacy on behalf of motorcycle accident victims throughout Illinois. So if you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident due to someone else’s reckless or negligent actions remember we are here for you. We’re not just lawyers; we’re compassionate advocates dedicated to seeking the justice and compensation you rightfully deserve.

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.
