About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Farina Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we are seasoned personal injury attorneys with an extensive practice in the complex and often devastating realm of pedestrian accidents. As a legal practice based in Illinois, we understand the alarming regularity with which these unfortunate incidents occur – far too common yet unpredictable events that can transform lives in a fleeting second.

Pedestrian accidents occur when individuals on foot collide unexpectedly with vehicles. The consequences may range from minor injuries to debilitating conditions or even fatalities. Victims often encounter substantial medical expenses and income loss during recovery, not to mention the emotional toll such incidents inevitably impart.

Understanding your rights as a victim is crucial to navigating this challenging circumstance. Under personal injury law, victims of pedestrian accidents possess certain entitlements for compensation due to negligence or misconduct by others involved. Cameras at intersections capture visuals used as evidence, while law enforcement documents details of motorist and pedestrian behavior at collision scenes – both considered critical forms of evidence.

• Right-of-way laws: Motorists must give right-of-way to pedestrians crossing streets within unmarked crosswalks in residential areas.

• Traffic control signals: Without traffic controls signals or signs indicating otherwise, drivers are obligated to yield right-of-way to pedestrians.

• Pedestrian control signals: Pedestrians must comply with “Walk” and “Do Not Walk” indicators where provided.

Nonetheless, it’s important to note that filing personal injury claims require careful adherence to laws specific within our state of Illinois.

• Time Limitations: In Illinois, one has two years from the time of an accident to file a lawsuit against parties responsible for injuries sustained – failing which may result in forfeiture of your compensation eligibility.

• Comparative Fault Law: This law applies if you share fault for your accident. If found less than 51% negligent, you still hold eligibility for damage recovery albeit reduced by your degree of culpability.

Kitting yourself out with knowledge surely bolsters confidence amidst uncertainties faced following pedestrian accidents – yet, navigating legal complexities to secure rightful compensation remains no walk in the park. This harsh reality underscores the instrumental role of qualified personal injury attorneys such as our dedicated team at Carlson Bier.

We harness decades of expertise and hard-fought victories for countless clients who found themselves embroiled in pedestrian accident cases. Our mission: returning control into your hands by obtaining fair and comprehensive settlements without compromising integrity nor undervaluing claims – because we’ve bore witness to too many victims shortchanged on justice due by their lack of legal protection or understanding.

Notwithstanding the influx of digital resources available today, avoid falling prey to generic advice culled from unverified online platforms – these may lead you astray more than guide your path towards recovery. Instead, invest trust in a law team vested not only legally but emotionally in championing justice for distressed victims like yourself.

You may be wondering “how much is my case worth?” As you consider seeking out help for this distressing ordeal, remember that each case carries unique circumstances contributing towards settlement amounts – factoring medical expenses, lost wages from inability to work during recuperation durations, pain and suffering amongst others. At Carlson Bier, we employ stringent evaluation processes aligning with state laws governing personal injury claims ensuring aligned assessments returned reflect truly what you deserve post-pedestrian accidents.

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.
