About Carlson Bier

Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Toulon Illinois

Motorcycle accidents are often debilitating, leaving the victims with significant physical injuries and emotional trauma. If you or a loved one has been involved in such an unfortunate incident, you need expert legal representation – a role that Carlson Bier Personal Injury Attorneys are more than capable of fulfilling. As a respected law firm based in Illinois, our strength lies in our detailed understanding of motorcycle accident-related laws and years of experience representing clients dealing with similar predicaments.

Personal injury law and specifically those related to motorcycle accidents can be incredibly complex and confusing for most individuals. However, understanding your rights is fundamental as it directly impacts your just compensation claim’s success. At Carlson Bier, we employ our extensive legal acumen to ensure that you receive the rightful amount due from insurance companies who oftentimes are not inclined to disburse what they rightfully should.

There are several key factors you must be aware of when considering personal injury claims related to motorcycle accidents:

• Fault determination: Establishing fault is critical because it directly affects the reimbursement rate. But rest assured! Our astute attorneys possess substantial experience in investigating accident cases and attributing liability appropriately.

• Negotiating with insurance companies: Despite facing severe injuries or losses, grappling with uncooperative insurers can be stressful – which is where we step in, skilled at negotiating fair settlements.

• Understanding damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages due to inability to work after the accident, future lost income if unable to return to work, property damage incurred during the collision amongst others.

While motorcycles provide riders with a unique sense of freedom on roadways, they also leave them exposed physically—resulting in significantly higher fatality rates than car drivers post major crashes. The aftermath involves dealing with excruciating pain all while handling cumbersome medical bills; this calls for someone well-versed with intricate litigation procedures associated with motorcycle mishaps – like Carlson Bier’s adept team.

Our specialization extends but isn’t limited to mishaps triggered by speed, intoxication, recklessness, and negligence of other drivers. We also assay crashes caused as a result of ignored motorcycle rights like lane sharing denial or incidents occurring under adverse weather conditions or poorly maintained roadways.

Most importantly, we stand strong as your advocates throughout this debilitating experience – our objective extends beyond securing the highest possible reparation for you, but also ensuring that negligent parties acknowledge their fault.

Our team manages your case with utmost attention to detail right from the inception up until its conclusion in Illinois courts or through settlement— all while you focus entirely on your rehabilitation journey. Our mission at Carlson Bier is to alleviate post-accident stressors by acting not merely as solicitors—but empathetic advisors dedicated to providing relentless legal assistance.

We are here to help navigate these troubled waters with you—the expertise and dedication our attorneys bring forth go a long way in empowering you against insurance companies looking out after their interests. It’s only natural that you may want to assess how much compensation can be extracted from your case given the circumstances—and we’re here for exactly that purpose too. Knowledge truly is power when it comes to fighting for your rights—and working alongside experts at Carlson Bier ensures that power works in favor of what lawfully belongs to you.

After understanding all about motorcycle accidents and they might impact individuals involved—we urge you not just stop there! If perhaps an unfortunate incident has befallen upon yourself or someone close—it’s now time more than ever before; click on the button below right away.

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.
