About Carlson Bier

Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Orion Illinois

With over two decades of legal practice experience, Carlson Bier is a leading personal injury firm, steadfastly committed to supporting victims of motorcycle accidents in Illinois. Unanticipated tragedies such as a devastating motorcycle accident can result from various circumstances and may come with severe physical injury and financial distress. We at the Carlson Bier law firm firmly empathize with this fact and are geared towards offering our clients top-quality legal services.

The exposure during riding is inherent in the enjoyment motorcycles offer to riders but leaves them exceedingly vulnerable during accidents. A slight hit for an automobile could translate into a fatal collision for motorcyclists. Understanding these intricacies, we specialize in providing comprehensive counsel surrounding motorcycle accidents while relentlessly representing the interests of our clients’ unique situations.

When investigating a potential case brought by a motorcycle accident victim or their loved ones, we adopt an exhaustive approach aimed at capturing every aspect significant towards presenting robust compensation claim. The essential elements include:

• Establishing Liability: We work diligently to identify who should be held accountable for your loss – whether it’s another driver on the road, manufacturer defects implicated in causing the accident or any other parties.

• Evaluating Damages: Accrued medical bills, lost wages due to inability to work while recovering, repair costs for damaged property amongst others make up damages we aim to recover through financial restoration that covers present and future needs.

• Legal Guidance: Navigating through insurance companies’ statements or amassing extensive documents can be easily overwhelming; thus, expert guidance becomes crucial. At Carlson Bier, ensuring accurate document filing and adept negotiation with insurers forms part of our key deliverables.

Our dedicated team recognizes that each situation presents unique complexities requiring tailored strategies revolving around robust investigative practices founded on empirical data and expert testimonies towards delivering positive results regardless of case challenges.

As experienced personal Injury lawyers based out of Illinois, Carlson Bier also acknowledges the role state regulations play when it comes to filing compensation claims. Illinois motorcycle regulation mandates the use of helmets below 18 years old, prohibition against lane splitting and requisite proof of insurance coverage for all riders. These factors can heavily influence claim outcomes; thus integrating them into our strategy formulation is instrumental.

Iron-clad legal representation from Carlson Bier extends beyond mere technical knowledge to encompass empathetic understanding that tangibly translates into tireless advocacy on your behalf throughout every step of litigation process, pre-trial negotiations, settlements or actual courtroom trials.

Our law firm stands firmly grounded in the belief that access to justice ought not to be defined by monetary capacity. With this philosophy as our bedrock, we operate a contingency fee basis – essentially meaning you do not pay unless we win your case. Keeping clients in the loop forms part of our core values reflecting in routine communication about case proceedings and treating client concerns with utmost respect.

Recovering from the impacts following a sudden motorcycle accident could prove daunting without professional guidance. The time-sensitive nature linked with pursuing personal injury lawsuits compounds this fact even more.

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.
