Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Willisville Illinois

As trusted legal authorities in Personal Injury Law, the Carlson Bier Attorney Group wants you to fully understand the complexities and implications of Pedestrian Accidents. Within the bustling streets and intersections of Illinois, pedestrian-related mishaps are unfortunately common, often resulting in severe injuries that could dramatically impact lives in seconds. Understanding your rights and available legal options is vital.

Pedestrians involved in an accident are entitled to seek justice and appropriate compensation for any damages sustained; this includes medical expenses, lost wages during recovery time, pain and suffering endured, among other pertinent losses. In these unfortunate circumstances, it’s essential to be represented by experienced lawyers who diligently uphold your rights with exceptional knowledge and dedication.

The Illinois law firmly recognizes the right of every pedestrian to safely navigate roads without fear of negligence or harm from motorists. As traffic laws mandate drivers to yield their right-of-way to people on foot at specific points like crosswalks or road corners – violations considered culpability can form strong grounds for a personal injury lawsuit against insubordinate drivers.

However, proving fault in pedestrian accidents isn’t always straightforward due to various factors impacting each case:

• The capability of your representation

• Thoroughness of investigation conducted

• Available evidence supporting your claim

Keeping these crucial aspects under consideration positions a clear understanding about reliably choosing an expert personal injury lawyer like Carlson Bier.

At Carlson Bier Attorney Group, we’re deeply committed to conducting comprehensive investigations for our clients. This entails collating witness testimonies if applicable, closely studying traffic surveillance camera footage when available, collaborating with forensic experts for meticulous case research – dexterity that ensures all factors potentially enabling maximized compensation are evaluated prudently.

A well-documented lawsuit demonstrating driver’s responsibility in disobeying established laws essentially aids enormously towards winning just reparations following Pedestrian Accidents:

• Driving Under Influence (DUI)

• Speeding Over Legal Limits

• Failing To Yield To Pedestrians

• Careless or Inattentive Driving

These are some prevalent driver offenses exploited in personal injury legal cases – instructing the value of proficient legal minds representing you. Standing on your behalf, we demystify complex legal jargons and elaborate technicalities of the law, becoming your guide within this stressful journey.

Furthermore, certain pedestrian accidents can also involve ‘Hit & Run’ drivers. These alarming situations add another layer to an already intricate circumstance – tracing and apprehending liable individuals. Our resourceful strategies paired with relentless determination bring forth results that meet our clients’ expectations satisfactorily.

A significant point to consider regarding Illinois personal injury law is the statute of limitations, which means any claim should be filed within two years from the accident date– an additional yet vital legal element encapsulating why swift professional help proves instrumental in successfully seeking deserved justice and compensation.

At Carlson Bier Attorney Group, a team of dedicated professionals stands ready to tirelessly advocate for your rights. Keep in mind: Injury claims may not immediately alleviate physical or emotional pain endured due to others’ negligence but pursuing such actions will undeniably relieve associated financial burdens while calling attention towards issues impeding pedestrian safety – ultimately prompting consequential preventive measures.

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.
