About Carlson Bier

Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Allendale Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we specialize in representing the victims of motorcycle accidents. As highly experienced personal injury attorneys based in Illinois, our primary objective is to aid you in navigating this tumultuous period. The aftermath of a motorcycle accident can be an incredibly challenging time for all involved; this is especially so as the injuries sustained are often severe and require extensive rehabilitation. Here at our firm, we value your wellbeing and strive to assist you during recovery by providing exceptional legal assistance.

Motorcycle Accidents are strikingly different from other vehicle-related accidents due to their unique risk factors. A significant trait of motorcycles that exponentially increases a rider’s vulnerability is the absence of physical barriers present in other vehicles such as cars or trucks. Without these protective facades, motorcyclists might directly impact another vehicle or pavement with little to no safeguards against physical harm – contributing significantly to increased injury severity levels and potential fatality rates.

There are myriad reasons why Motorcycle Accidents happen, but some key causes include:

– Aggressive driving: Drivers who speed excessively or tailgate motorcycles pose incredible dangers.

– Distracted driving: These incidents occur when drivers text while operating their vehicle, eat food or engage in other attention-diverting activities.

– Impaired operation: Alcohol and drug consumption impairs reaction times making collisions more likely.

– Lane splitting: When motorcycles drive between two lanes of stopped vehicles it exposes them greatly to collisions they would otherwise avoid.

The legal aspects surrounding Motorcycle Accident Claims tend to possess unique complexities not commonly known outside of legal circles engaging such matters regularly like us at Carlson Bier Law Firm. We have unparalleled expertise deciphering insurance policies’ fine print along with vast experience litigating battles within courtrooms on behalf of our clients unremittingly towards achieving justice swiftly and efficiently. Our team understands that life after a motorcycle accident can often turn into an uphill battle both physically and emotionally; therefore we devote our energy into helping you reclaim control over your life.

It is critically important to recognize that in Illinois, motorcycle accident claims are subjected to a ‘Comparative Negligence Law.’ This signifies that even if you were partly to blame for the accident, you could still qualify for compensation. However, your percentage of fault will determine the amount; ultimately it gets deducted from the total settlement. For instance, if you were found 20% at fault and your damages amounted to $50,000; this law dictates that only $40,000 can be awarded. Consequently, having an experienced firm like Carlson Bier on your side can assist significantly in obtaining fair accountability classifications and acquiring maximum feasible compensation.

At Carlson Bier law firm we diligently handle all facets of personal injury cases right from investigating incident scenes to working tirelessly during negotiations with insurance companies towards acquiring adequate compensations for victims like yourself. Incorporating us into your recovery process means placing yourselves in the hands of experts dedicated entirely towards bolstering justice for individuals wronged by reckless actions causing accidents while riding motorcycles.

– Settlement Negotiation: Fervently negotiating with insurance companies strives relentlessly securing optimal settlement amounts under such circumstances.

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.
