About Carlson Bier

Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Oak Run Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we are a team of esteemed personal injury attorneys specializing in various areas – notably motorcycle accidents. Located in Illinois, our expertise is honed over years of experience and commitment to attaining justice for those unjustly injured. Motorcycle accidents can be devastating affairs, often resulting in serious physical harm or tragic loss of life. They can leave victims incapacitated or fatally injured while their families suffer from emotional pain and financial hardship due to medical bills and lost wages.

Understanding the nature of motorcycle accidents is imperative as they differ significantly from other types of vehicular accidents. Motorcycles lack the protective barriers found in other vehicles, putting riders at greater risk during collisions. Moreover, road conditions like potholes, debris, slick pavement have more severe consequences for motorcyclists than other vehicle users.

• The common causes for these crashes include reckless driving by others on the road

• Driving under influence (DUI)

• Speeding

• Lane splitting

• Left-hand turn incidents where the negligent driver fails to notice a motorcyclist when making a left turn

It’s important that if you find yourself involved in such unfortunate circumstances wherein you are made victim to injuries due to others’ negligence on the roads; legal assistance should not be foregone but sought immediately.

At Carlson Bier, we understand the complexities involved in dealing with motorcycle accident cases – dealing with insurance companies who might be attempting to minimize your claim unfairly or even trying to put blame on you, sorting through medical records and contacting witnesses all while navigating intricate state laws related specifically to motorcycle cases.

Our lawyers work diligently by meticulously investigating each case we handle. We aim:

• To negotiate aggressively with insurance providers ensuring that you get fair compensation.

• To establish fault effectively which could greatly impact your compensation potential.

• To uncover all sources of liability that may not always immediately apparent.

• And finally solving complications regarding health insurance liens which could reduce how much you receive in the end.

Our ultimate goal is to work tirelessly until we ensure you are awarded your rightful compensation, necessary for dealing with costly medical treatments, loss of income, and the immense emotional distress caused by these accidents. We confront each case pragmatically but also compassionately because we acknowledge the tremendous toll it takes on our clients and their families.

To estimate the exact amount you may be entitled to claim as compensation after a motorcycle accident could be a challenging task due to diverse factors that play into this calculation such as life-altering injuries or permanent disability which might need ongoing treatment and care, and pain and suffering endured. At Carlson Bier, we can assist in producing a comprehensive assessment of all costs- both present and future associated with your personal injury so you obtain nothing less than what your circumstances mandate.

With our dedication and expertise combined with powerful negotiation skills, at Carlson Bier we strive not just for fair settlements but optimally favorable ones. In every fight for justice waged in courtrooms or across negotiating tables – it’s crucial that the victors are those who truly deserve to win.

We highly encourage you delve deeper into understanding how much your case could potentially be worth because no price tag should ever limit justice served. So why wait? Click on the button below now – let us help you assert your rights to recuperation effectively turning unfortunate incidents behind windows into stepping stones towards legal victories ahead!

Please remember: State laws mandate that an attorney cannot falsely advertise its location without a physical office presence, so mistrust any entity that does so because credibility runs parallel to compliance within this industry. Rest assured however if residing outside Illinois yet having suffered personal injury here- geographic distance won’t compromise the integral service pledge at Carlson Bier!

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.

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.
