About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Blandinsville Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we understand the complex emotional and legal issues relating to pedestrian accidents. Our legal team is equipped with vast experience and knowledge, specializing in Illinois personal injury law. As staunch advocates for victims of pedestrian accidents, our aim is to provide comprehensive information about the key aspects involved in such cases, offering tangible value and benefits for the reader.

One main highlight when analysing pedestrian accident cases is statutory limitation timelines. Under Illinois state laws, most lawsuits are to be filed within two years post-accident; however, certain situations may necessitate different deadlines. Thus, it’s crucial for victims or their families to immediately consult with a knowledgeable attorney accustomed to these intricacies ensuring you don’t miss important filing dates.

Qualifying as a ‘pedestrian’ entails more than just walking on footpaths or crossing roads. Any person not traveling in a motorized vehicle qualifies as a pedestrian— this includes runners, hikers, those using movable aids like skateboards or rollerblades—even if they weren’t strictly adhering to traffic rules at the time of impact.

Furthermore,

• The liable party might not always be exclusively the driver.

• Circumstantial evidence can play an essential role.

• Comparative negligence standards could potentially reduce compensation amounts.

• Insurance policy limitations could affect the discussion around available remuneration channels.

These considerations give rise to multiple possibilities and complicate case proceedings under Illinois law; hence it becomes all the more vital—and advantageous—for accident victims or their caregivers seeking rightful reparations to approach comprehensive legal professionals like us at Carlson Bier.

In any instance surrounding a pedestrian accident where serious injuries have occurred—or even worse—the importance cannot be overstated: qualified lawyers giving competent representation are integral towards navigating through rigorous assessments of complicated traffic laws intersecting with personal injury claims—all whilst managing sometimes intricate courtroom procedures alongside negotiation wherewithals regarding insurance companies.

Pedestrian accidents generally ply higher stakes no small part due to victims’ vulnerability compared directly with vehicle occupants. Subsequently, injuries incurred by pedestrians often gravitate towards the extreme end of the spectrum—it’s not rare encountering severe head traumas, vital organ damage, various complicated fractures and sadly even instances resulting in fatalities.

Understanding this profound physical and emotional toll triggered from pedestrian accidents, coupled with high costs arising for medical treatments—not forgetting potentially extended periods away from work—ensuring rightful compensation is received becomes imperative. A meticulously driven legal approach will consider current treatment costs as well consideration into future expenses necessitated by ongoing care or rehabilitation.

Carlson Bier’s team prides itself on our meticulous attention to each case detail whilst exercising a compassionate client-first ethos—at every step alongside you on your recovery journey ensuring a just claim resolution.

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.
