About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Steger Illinois

Welcome to Carlson Bier, your trusted name in personal injury law with a dedicated focus on Pedestrian Accident cases. As Illinois based attorneys, we hold an unyielding determination and stand strong against the negligence of others that result in pedestrian accidents. Our mission is simple: fighting for justice on behalf of our clients,and striving to help them secure the compensation they deserve.

Pedestrian accidents, unfortunately, are common occurrences and often result from reckless drivers ignoring traffic rules or not being attentive enough when behind the wheel. The aftermath can be devastating—leading up to severe injuries or sometimes even fatal consequences for an accident victim who was just innocently traversing a street or crosswalk.

To understand pedestrian accidents better:

• They are instances where an individual walking on foot gets struck by a vehicle.

• Fault generally lies with the driver not respecting pedestrian’s right-of-way.

• Most incidents occur at intersections or unmarked crossings due to poor visibility and driver ignorance.

• Accidents also happen because of impaired driving, distracted driving (especially texting while driving), speeding, ignoring traffic signals, etc.

As seasoned personal injury attorneys at Carlson Bier, we thoroughly evaluate all aspects related to your case, gather every bit of supportive evidence such as police reports, witness testimonies and surveillance footage – ensuring no stone is left unturned in building the strongest possible claim. We collaborate closely with medical experts and physiotherapists who can provide insight into your injuries’ specifics and future care needs; this information then guides us towards procuring full compensation covering both – present expenses as well as predicted future costs.

Navigating through complex legal processes post-accident can seem daunting but worry not – you are not alone! The first step toward gathering your strength starts here at Carlson Bier. Our team will walk alongside you during these tough times helping make informed decisions about obtaining rightful compensation. We advocate passionately for our clients– standing tall against formidable courtroom opponents and aggressively negotiating with insurance firms on their behalf. Battles fought, justice served – that’s Carlson Bier in action.

Apart from helping you tackle legal hurdles, we emphasize imparting extensive knowledge to our clients about accident law. It is crucial to understand your rights and know what steps to follow after an unfortunate incident:

• Seek immediate medical attention – not just for health sake but also for documenting injuries.

• Report the incident to local enforcement authorities immediately; keep record of submitted reports.

• Do not discuss accident details or injury specifics with anyone else apart from your personal injury attorney.

• Document everything related to the case including photographs of the scene, damages incurred etc.

Somewhere amidst trying times and validated claims lies a well-deserved compensation value. Upon reviewing every detail and meticulous documentation from your incident, we proceed toward defining a realistic settlement amount reflective of your sufferings, losses and future financial needs(due to probable medical conditions).

At Carlson Bier our commitment extends beyond mere representation – we consider ourselves trusted guides dedicated towards taking care of multiple dimensions around the pedestrian accident experience while doing our best at validating you get back up on your feet again (probably even stronger!).

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.
