About Carlson Bier

Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Hudson Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we stand as an emblem of justice and unwavering support for victims of personal injuries, with a particular focus on cases related to motorcycle accidents. As expert personal injuctance attorneys, based in Illinois, our mission revolves around securing the maximum compensation for our clients while helping them understand their rights and legal procedures that play out in these scenarios.

Motorcycle accidents, unfortunately, are frequent occurrences on roads across the nation. These often result in severe physical injuries or fatality due to the lack of physical protection compared to an enclosed vehicle like a car or truck. If you’ve been involved in a motorcycle accident caused due to another person’s negligence it is essential you know what legal steps can be taken.

• Lack of riding experience: Motorcycle driving requires skill and sound judgement both influenced by driving experience.

• Equipment failure: A mechanical problem like brake failure could lead to disastrous incidents.

• Dangerous road conditions: Slippery surfaces, potholes or other forms of hazardous situations can easily topple a motorcyclist.

• Reckless driving: Speeding over limits or overtaking from wrong sides causing collisions fall under this category.

Since liability forms the cornerstone of legal discourse involving motorcycle accidents, understanding your rights becomes crucial.

At Carlson Bier law firm, our experts diligently evaluate every facet associated with your accident case. We deploy comprehensive tools and strategies, including obtaining medical records that delve into your injury’s extent and conducting meticulous investigations attuned towards unearthing any liable parties in your situation. Our astute understanding of Illinois laws enables us to comprehensively address all factors contributing toward strengthening your claim.

The repercussions proceeding from such incidents bestride not just the immediate realm of physical pain but also extended aspects involving former financial burden regarding medical treatments and potential loss of earning capability due to incapacitation emanating from sustained injuries resulting from the accident.

We firmly believe at Carlson Bier that each client’s circumstances present unique facets, thereby necessitating personalized strategies to effectively pursue our goal of obtaining rightful compensation for you. Your rights pertaining to recovery through legal aid avenues are rather comprehensive and cover multiple areas:

• Medical expenses: These encompass not just immediate expenditures but also future costs involving physical therapy or rehabilitation.

• Loss of wages: If your accident has impacted your capacity to work, these compensations would seek to cover lost income.

• Emotional suffering: Accidents can lead to trauma causing severe emotional distress which is compensable.

Given the intricacy often presented by personal injury law, it becomes paramount that individuals involved in motorcycle accidents have the right experts on their side. Carlson Bier’s premier attorneys embody staunch advocates who tirelessly work towards securing fair compensation for victims. Our expertise in dealing with insurance companies, coupled with our unrivaled negotiation skills, place us at a distinct advantage while fighting for our clients’ best interests.

When undertaking the fight for justice and recovery post a motorcycle crash, time assumes paramount importance. The statute of limitations under Illinois Law stipulates that an injured party must file any potential lawsuit within two years from the such accident’s inception date. Therefore we urge you not delay seeking professional help if unfortunately caught a situation like this

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.
