About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in San Jose Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we offer exceptional legal representation for victims of pedestrian accidents. Our dedicated team of personal injury attorneys, based in Illinois, possess deep knowledge and unwavering commitment to obtain rightful compensation in these unfortunate situations. Pedestrian accidents can often lead to severe injuries due to the vulnerable nature of individuals facing vehicles in motion. Understanding precisely how pedestrian accident law operates is crucial, particularly as this understanding plays a fundamental role in ensuring your rights are fully protected.

There are some key elements that you need to prove before establishing liability in any personal injury case. First, it is critical to demonstrate that the defendant owed you a duty of care (which motorists inherently owe to pedestrians). Next, showing that this duty was breached by negligent actions or omissions on behalf of the defendant – be it speeding, distracted driving, or non-compliance with traffic signals. Lastly, connecting their negligent act directly caused your injuries becomes an essential step.

Pedestrian accident cases often involve complex variables which necessitate comprehensive investigation and substantial evidence gathering – meticulous work carried out assiduously by our seasoned attorneys at Carlson Bier. We undertake such tasks keeping foremost emphasis on identifying liable parties; unearthing all possible sources of insurance; liaising with medical providers regarding bill settlement; engaging experts for case substantiation when necessary and most importantly – continuously updating and communicating with you throughout every phase of your litigation journey.

It’s important to note the profound impact Illinois’s comparative negligence standards might have on your ability to recover damages following a pedestrian accident. As per these laws if you’re found partially responsible for the incident causing your injuries then your recovery amount could significantly reduce depending upon degree of established fault on your part. Expert legal assistance helps navigate through these nuances effortlessly while simultaneously maximizing payout prospects.

Here at Carlson Bier we treat each client as an individual and not just another case number which brings us crafting customized strategies responding inherent complexities attached with each unique scenario. While our successful track record demonstrates our resolve and supposed proficiency, the real testament lies in countless testimonials applauding our hard-hitting representation topped with compassionate customer service.

Based on our extensive experience, few key pointers we want you to remember while evaluating personal injury lawyers are: they should be experienced in dealing with pedestrian accidents; possess impeccable research and negotiation skills for precise case handling; essentially employ a contingency fee structure culminating no upfront costs to client; ensure transparent proceedings where every step taken is informed and approved by you.

Pedestrian accident law involves an intricate mesh of legalities that demand expert interpretation. Remember same accident can invoke divergent consequences depending upon representation quality – choosing right becomes vital. Note that Illinois law limits time within which a personal injury lawsuit must be filed. This ‘statute of limitations’ provides a two-year window from date of incident. Missing this deadline could risk your ability to recover much needed financial recompense considerably – even more reason why turning things over quickly yet efficiently over experts matters immensely.

At Carlson Bier – recognizably formidable force in Illinois’s personal injury lawyer space- commitment merely isn’t about winning cases but also establishing much longer associations through trust built mutual respect and relentless quest for justice.

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)

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.
