About Carlson Bier

Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Riverwoods Illinois

Welcome to Carlson Bier, a dedicated personal injury law firm founded on the solid principles of providing superior legal counsel and care to our clients residing all around Illinois. We are here to protect your rights and help navigate the complex road to compensation, specifically for victims of motorcycle accidents.

A motorcycle accident is more than just a mere collision; it’s an abrupt interruption to life that brings pain, suffering, financial woes, and a myriad economic or non-economic damages. Such unexpected incidents often lead to severe injuries like broken bones, head and spinal injuries which can have debilitating long-term impacts.

– Rehabilitation costs: Physical therapy needed after such severe injuries could last months or even years.

– Lost Income: Serious injuries might prevent you from working temporarily or permanently leading to huge loss in wages.

– Pain and Suffering: The agonizing physical pain and emotional distress caused by the negligence of another party cannot be disregarded.

Our proficient team at Carlson Bier consists of experienced attorneys who specialize in handling motorcycle accident cases with utmost precision and diligence. Navigating the legal intricacies surrounding personal injury claims might seem overwhelming. Our approach encompasses understanding every detail pertaining to your case before tailoring strategies designed for optimal outcomes. Whether you were injured due to another driver’s negligence, defective parts or poor road conditions – we firmly advocate for fair treatment and rightful compensation on your behalf.

Knowledge is power when it comes down to understanding your rights as we stand against giant insurance corporations who tend to undermine the extent of damage done primarily owing their interests:

– Familiarize yourself with Motorcycle Laws in Illinois that promotes safety yet safeguards rights of motorcyclists

– Understanding Comparative Fault System in Illinois which may affect claim recoveries based on shared liability

– Know about Statute of Limitations defining time frame within which one must file a claim

We ensure each client receives unwavering support throughout their journey because at Carlson Bier ‘your fight becomes our fight’. Recognizing that every case is unique, we provide free no-obligation consultations allowing potential clients to discuss their specific circumstances, understand the pursuit process and gauge steps towards rightful compensation.

Motorcycle accidents are more than just physical or financial recuperation; they can inflict emotional turmoil which demands seeking justice from those accountable. Even though nothing can completely undo the trauma caused by such unfortunate events, adequate compensation might very well act as a catalyst in propelling you towards much-needed closure and healing.

At Carlson Bier, our commitment goes beyond strong legal representation – it’s about ensuring your voice is heard while standing up against injustice. Our esteemed reputation has been built on successfully representing motorcycle accident victims across Illinois thereby charting a track record of favorable verdicts and settlements.

And now, taking a step further into helping you through this distressful time won’t require any expenditure upfront. We operate on a contingency fee basis meaning that unless we win for you there are no legal fees to be paid – thus removing an added burden during already challenging times.

Finally, if you believe you have suffered due to another party’s negligence in a motorcycle crash then don’t waste any valuable time struggling alone.

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. 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.
