About Carlson Bier

Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in South Pekin Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we’re more than just personal injury attorneys – we’re your allies in navigating the complexities of Motorcycle Accident Law. Understanding your rights after a motorcycle accident can be overwhelming. You may ask yourself, who will cover my medical bills? What about lost wages and potential earnings? How much compensation am I entitled to for property damage or pain and suffering?

As seasoned personal injury lawyers based in Illinois, our primary focus is making sure you get answers to these critical questions as swiftly as possible. We are fully committed to representing clients who have been involved in motorcycle accidents, helping them comprehend the depth of their predicament. Our objective doesn’t end with comprehension; we strive to ensure appropriate legal action is taken – securing optimal compensation for damages sustained.

Motorcycle accidents can drastically alter lives within mere seconds, hurling victims into a world filled with physical pain and financial havoc. Navigating this traumatic aftermath requires expertise best served by professional personal injury attorneys like us at Carlson Bier.

We understand the unique attributes associated with such accidents. For instance;

• Motorcyclists are 27 times more likely to die in a crash compared to other motorists.

• A plethora of factors may contribute to an accident beyond reckless driving such as road conditions or mechanical failure.

• Unlike drivers, motorcyclists lack substantial protective barriers which render them susceptible to serious injuries during crashes.

Motivated by a deep sense of empathy for our clients’ plights and inspired by the desire for justice, at Carlson Bier we relentlessly pursue compensation claims on behalf of injured individuals while ensuring they get the necessary support through each stage of their recovery journey. We meticulously scrutinize all aspects pertaining to liability and divine strategies poised at attaining maximum restitution under Illinois law.

While pursuing full compensation demands understanding singular circumstances relating to individual case specifics, several components generally make up these damages:

– Medical expenses: This includes ambulance fees, hospital visits, surgery costs, cost of medication, and any other healthcare services necessitated by the accident.

– Lost wages: This refers to income lost due to inability to work while recuperating. It also covers projected future earnings loss influenced by the accident-caused injuries.

– Pain and Suffering: This accounts for both physical pain and emotional anguish experienced as a direct result of the motorcycle accident.

Remember, time is paramount when it comes to exercising your legal rights after a motorcycle accident. Illinois law stipulates strict deadlines for filing personal injury claims – another factor that underscores the need for efficient, expert legal counsel like Carlson Bier on your side in these challenging times.

We understand each client is unique with their particular needs; hence we’re devoted to providing personalized representation specifically tailored towards every individual’s case. As Carlson Bier attorneys, our professional commitment extends beyond obtaining compensation for our clients – we’re wholly dedicated to deliver complete rehabilitation support too.

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.
