About Carlson Bier

Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Windsor Illinois

When you’ve been injured in a Motorcycle Accident, turning to the expert legal guidance of Carlson Bier can make a world of difference. Our law group based out in Illinois provides personal injury attorney services with an unwavering dedication and unparalleled expertise that works relentlessly towards achieving justice for victims.

Motorcycle accidents cause devastating injuries and account for a disproportionately high number of traffic fatalities across Illinois. Unharnessed by any protective barrier, motorists suffer serious physical trauma, leading to expensive medical bills, loss of income, and emotional distress.

At Carlson Bier, our mission is providing personalized service tempered with compassion during these challenging times while ensuring your rights are protected.

• Thorough Investigations: We dissect every detail related to your case – from examining accident reports and witness statements to unearthing evidence at the accident scene.

• Determining Fault: Strengthening your claim begins with identifying who’s responsible – it could be another motorist’s negligence or even faulty road signage.

• Negotiating on behalf: We primarily aim for settlements outside court where possible because we understand the gravity and pressure that litigation presents clients already grappling with injuries. Successfully negotiating takes skill as insurers have their own army of lawyers ready not just to challenge but also potentially devalue your claim.

• Legal Representation: Courtroom battles may sometimes be inevitable. With us advocating on your behalf, you can focus on recovery knowing skilled litigators are maneuvering through complex litigation processes while strategizing for a favorable verdict.

Carlson Bier’s Personal Injury Lawyers are proficient in navigating state laws within Illinois’ legal domain—laws known for stringent measures concerning motorcycle driving safety due to increasing annual accident rates—the “Land Of Lincoln” has:

– Helmet Mandate Regulation: The absence of universal helmet mandates often poses additional challenges but isn’t an insurmountable obstacle impacting claims.

– Comparative-Negligence Rule Application: If contributory negligence gets cited against you (however fractional it may be), we can effectively challenge that to prevent dilution of your rightful compensation.

– Statutory Deadlines: Illinois imposes a strict two-year limitation (from the accident date) for filing personal injury legal suits. Delaying beyond this timeframe negates your right to purse litigation, and we ensure every timeline gets adhered regardless of circumstances.

Understanding these ins-and-outs might seem overwhelming, especially in traumatizing periods following an accident. That’s where Carlson Bier steps in—helping victims cut through the confusion while enlightening them on how law provisions could affect their case outcome. We strive towards providing exceptional mentorship steeped with transparency because an informed client is a confident client.

We go beyond just offering representation—we are your allies in adversity, striving not only for optimal settlements but also endeavoring to provide emotional support. For us, seeing you regain stability – financially and health-wise – constitutes our commitment and motivation.

Partner with Carlson Bier today; let experts renowned jurists adept at handling personal injury matters balance scales of justice favorably towards you. You’ve suffered enough already—now it’s time for someone else to take charge while you focus on healing.

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.
