About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Genoa Illinois

At Carlson Bier, a premier legal practice based in Illinois, we focus on personal injury law with particular expertise in representing victims of pedestrian accidents. Our attorneys understand the complexities involved in such lawsuits and are armed with the extensive knowledge needed to guide you through this harrowing situation. If you or your loved one has been involved in a pedestrian accident, it is vital to know your rights and what to expect during a litigation process.

Pedestrian accidents often result in severe injuries which can lead to extensive medical treatment and long term alterations to daily life. The repercussions can be both physical and emotional, causing significant distress for the victim as well as their families which is why immediate legal advice could play a key part in recovering an adequate compensation.

Here at Carlson Bier, our law professionals shed light on few crucial factors that impact these scenarios:

• Establishing Liability: This involves demonstrating that the motorist was negligent by perhaps ignoring traffic rules or being distracted while driving.

• Injury Claims: Besides negotiating compensation for hospital bills and future medical expenses, we also consider rehabilitation cost, loss of income if any apply along with compensatory claims for pain and suffering.

• Statute Of Limitations: In Illinois, there is generally a two-year timeframe from the date of accident to file a lawsuit but certain exceptions do apply.

• Comparative Negligence Rule: If both parties are partially at fault then how much recovery can be achieved depends on percentage of each party’s fault.

Navigating through all these variables unassisted might not yield desired results so having us represent you will ensure understanding every aspect thoroughly thus enabling informed decisions about possible settlement offers. We pride ourselves on providing professional representation that prioritizes client well-being and work tirelessly towards obtaining rightful recompense that covers financial burdens imposed by the accident.

Moreover, proving causation between defendant’s behavior resulting into plaintiff’s injuries ensues proper analysis hence leveraging years-long experience matters significantly here where relevant details enhance the credibility of causation argument.

Our renowned team, with its deep-rooted understanding of intricate legislations governing such accidents, works diligently to review each case and meticulously build an ironclad stance. Recognizing that every circumstance is unique, our strategies are not plug-and-play but instead tailor-made to fit specific situations thus significantly raising chances for a favorable verdict or settlement.

We urge victims to refrain from making any statements before first consulting an attorney who would ideally evaluate whether admitting partial fault can potentially harm their case because in Illinois if plaintiff is found 51% or more at fault might lead them walking away empty handed hence knowing the law beforehand is your best defense against unjust outcomes.

Pedestrian accidents due to negligent drivers can irreversibly affect lives but remember we’re here to help and ease your path towards justice. Every step you take in this process will have notable impact so always consult first, understand completely and then make astute decisions safeguarding your rights at all times.

Safe guarding your interests and ensuring you receive comprehensive compensation commensurate with the damages incurred remains our top priority. Here at Carlson Bier, our seasoned attorneys stand ready to help you turn those legal complexities into simple steps toward successfully resolving your case.

When put through wrongful suffering, don’t bear it alone; let us amplify your voice where it truly matters – in courtrooms battling injustice on equal footing against formidable opponents representing big insurance corporations so you focus only on recovery without added stress over uncertain litigation results.

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.
