About Carlson Bier

Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Grafton Illinois

If you or a loved one have been involved in a motorcycle accident, understanding your legal rights is essential. At Carlson Bier law firm, we specialize in personal injury law with an emphasis on Motorcycle Accident representation based in Illinois. Our expertise will guide you smoothly through the complex legal labyrinth that follows such unfortunate incidents.

Motorcycle accidents can have life-altering ramifications, leading to severe physical injuries, emotional trauma and substantial financial burden. Astoundingly, motorcycle riders are twenty-eight times more likely to fatal crashes than passengers in other vehicles according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). A highly qualified Personal Injury Attorney like ours at Carlson Bier can effectively establish liability and pursue maximum compensation on your behalf.

In any motorcycle accident case, obtaining ample evidence is key:

• Photographic proof from the accident scene

• Police report

• Medical records detailing injuries sustained

• Witnesses’ statements

Furthermore, working alongside professional investigators often proves indispensable for establishing fault beyond doubt by painting a thorough picture of the context surrounding your incident.

Understanding common causes of motorcycle accidents also forms part of our detailed approach:

• Distracted drivers espousing behaviors such as eating or texting while operating their vehicles.

• Intoxication due to alcohol or drugs affecting motorists’ reaction time and judgement.

• Speeding- higher speeds reduce a driver’s ability to steer safely around curves which may potentially lead them straight into motorcyclists’ paths.

Our proficient team at Carlson Bier will meticulously investigate the details of your accident considering these factors strategically.

Yet another vital aspect involves estimating the value of your claim accurately. This includes both economic damages (like medical bills and lost wages) and non-economic damages (emotional distress). It helps ensure that our relentless fight towards justice does not leave out any potentially entitled compensation category unaccounted for.

Navigating serious areas such as these requires expert counsel which will be reliably provided here at Carlson Bier – a combination of unparalleled legal acumen, steadfast commitment to our clients, and compassionate service.

Remember that time is also an important factor. In Illinois, the statute of limitations permits just two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Delaying might risk losing your rights towards claiming damages altogether making immediate consultation all the more essential.

Contrary to common belief, you don’t always have to go trial either. The majority of compensation claims are settled out-of-court with claim adjusters who will propose settlements immediately after the motorcycle accident occurs and during any pending lawsuits.

Motorcycle accidents come with complex legal components including liability determinations and adherence to tight deadlines for filing suits which is why having competent representation becomes incumbent upon victims. You should never have to face this labyrinth alone. With Carlson Bier law firm by your side, we take over this tumultuous process for you while you focus on what’s most important – healing and recovery.

Finally remember that consultation at Carlson Bier does not cost you anything until we win! We operate on contingency basis which means if we’re unable to secure compensation then there won’t be fees charged.

Now that you understand how crucial proper legal guidance can be post a motorcycle accident in Illinois, do not hesitate in seeking experienced help. Boost your odds of receiving rightful reparation commensurate with injuries suffered both physically and tortiously as our astute attorneys work tirelessly around the clock putting together formidable case strategies for our valued clientele.

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.

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.
