About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Gilman Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we understand that when it comes to pedestrian accidents in Illinois, the involved parties face not just physical pain and suffering but considerable emotional distress and financial impact as well. Our experienced team of personal injury attorneys is dedicated to providing you with outstanding legal services rooted in a deep understanding of regional laws impacting pedestrian accident victims.

Whether your incident was caused by irresponsible drivers or poorly maintained sidewalks, we believe you should be adequately compensated for any injuries sustained. Pedestrian accidents can lead to severe injuries including fractures, brain damage, spinal cord damages and sometimes may sadly result in death. Such dire outcomes necessitate sound legal representation which our law firm consistently delivers.

We are committed to addressing key elements related to pedestrian accidents:

• Liability determination: In Illinois, liability relies heavily on the “comparative negligence” rule where both parties’ actions leading up to the accident are examined. Our attorneys work diligently ensuring responsible parties cannot escape their liability unduly.

• Familiarity with local statutory rules: Every municipality has unique local ordinances relevant in assessing violations at pedestrian crossings. We thoroughly research these applicable codes factoring them appropriately into your case.

• Identifying insurance coverage: A crucial step involves identifying available insurance coverages liable for compensating your damages; this could range from auto liability policies or homeowners’ insurance depending on circumstances surrounding the accident.

Presently residing in an increasingly litigious society means anyone can become a defendant – even pedestrians themselves might face lawsuits alleging contributory negligence causing their accidents. For example utilising a phone while walking or jaywalking are some instances used against injured pedestrians; however skilled representation confidently counters such motions placed against our clients through thorough investigations and evidence-backed presentations.

Moreover, our approach is distinctively client-focused aiming at the holistic recovery of affected individuals beyond merely monetary respite – we strive towards helping clients regain their pre-accident quality life wherever possible by aligning ourselves with medical professionals and therapists, and by ensuring all aspects of our clients’ injuries are reflected in their claims. Also, the Carlson Bier legal team works on a contingency basis meaning our fees are predicated on achieving successful results for you – if we don’t win, we don’t get paid.

Our commitment transcends viewing cases as mere transactions; instead we recognize every client bears a unique narrative deserving personalized attention and courageous advocacy. With each case that comes through our door, to us it’s not about merely wrapping up negotiations swiftly but rather championing an outcome reciprocating true value aligning with extended impacts accidents impose upon our clientele’s lives both now and into the future.

Predominantly dealing with personal injury means our practice reserves requisite resources dedicated to robust negotiation or if necessary court trials. When engaging with insurance companies you deserve representation that does not cringe at extensive courtroom battles – should these be needed in order to secure optimal settlements for your claim; however rigorous stipulations Illinois laws provide mean this is often seldom required given many insurers will prefer settling prior than facing an uncertain jury verdict.

With pedestrian accident statistics in Illinois reflecting alarming escalations over the past decade it is more important ever before that you equip yourself with reliable legal guidance from experienced attorneys helping safeguard your interests while navigating post-accident complexities amidst recovering from abrupt lifestyle changes forced upon you consequentially.

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.
