About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Hebron Illinois

At the law firm of Carlson Bier, we stand firmly in support of victims who have suffered due to pedestrian accidents. These incidents are unfortunately common in Illinois, sometimes leading to severe injuries or even worse outcomes for the pedestrians involved. In these scenarios, our natural inclination is to trust insurance companies will adequately take care of our needs and cover all expenses; however, this isn’t always the case. Insurance companies can fall short when it comes to fully compensating victims.

A pedestrian accident refers to any incident involving a person on foot being struck by a vehicle such as a car, motorcycle or bicycle. The vulnerability of pedestrians often makes the potential for serious injury incredibly high during an accident. Common injuries can include traumatic brain injuries (TBI), fractures and breaks, spinal cord injuries, psychological trauma including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among others. When these accidents occur as a result of negligence from drivers it’s essential that legal action be taken and justice served.

• Pedestrian Right-of-Way: It is critical to note that pedestrians typically have right-of-way at marked crosswalks and unmarked intersections.

• Speed Limits: Drivers exceeding speed limits pose an increased risk for fatal pedestrian accidents.

• Distracted Driving: Devices like cell phones can distract drivers causing them miss seeing people on foot.

• Driving Under Influence(DUI): Alcohol or drug-impaired drivers are responsible for numerous pedestrian accidents resulting in death or serious injury.

When you’re faced with the aftermath of such an event it’s understandably challenging knowing where to turn or what steps to take next. This is where we come in – at Carlson Bier, we provide comprehensive legal services centered around protecting your rights as a victim while ensuring appropriate compensation is pursued.

Our attorneys have extensive experience in Illinois tort law which underlies personal injury cases including vehicular collisions injuring pedestrians. We understand how complex these cases can be especially considering factors like shared fault laws where both pedestrian and driver may have partially contributed to the accident. Despite these complexities, our team possesses the dedication, knowledge and resources needed to fight for your rightful compensation.

Your journey towards justice with Carlson Bier will involve an initial case review where we assess the facts of your incident thoroughly. We then proceed to develop a strong legal strategy leaning on evidence such as police reports, CCTV footage if available and witness testimony. It’s also crucial that we work with medical professionals who can assist in estimating present as well as future medical costs resulting from the accident injury.

We hold all communications completely confidential availing prompt updates concerning developments in your case, potential settlements or court hearings. Our team is always ready to answer any query providing clarification on any gray areas creating a seamless service experience.

At Carlson Bier, ultimate success comes in various forms: advocating for safer driving conditions thereby reducing number of accidents; achieving high-value settlements; obtaining favorable jury verdicts in trials; but most importantly ensuring victims receive justice and begin healing holistically post-accident trauma.

In light of everything discussed above, it’s clear how vital having dedicated personal injury attorneys by your side can be after suffering through a pedestrian accident.

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.
