About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Tower Lake Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we comprehend the immense physical and psychological burden associated with pedestrian accidents. As highly experienced personal injury lawyers in Illinois, our main objective is to simplify your legal proceedings while providing unparalleled assistance throughout the process.

Pedestrian accidents often result in severe injuries due to the lack of protective gear like that afforded to automobile passengers. These types of accidents can occur under various circumstances—whether it’s due to a driver not yielding at a pedestrian crosswalk or a motorist driving under the influence among others.

If you’ve been involved in such an accident, it’s important to understand your rights:

• You have the right to safe usage of sidewalks and crosswalks without being endangered by motorists.

• If you are injured as a result of someone’s negligence or recklessness, you’re entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, loss of regular life activities, and pain and suffering.

At Carlson Bier, we strive tirelessly to ensure these rights aren’t just upheld but translated into appropriate settlement claims. Our proven track record provides assurance that we are dedicated towards advocating on your behalf every step of the way.

We employ advanced investigative techniques supplemented by top-notch legal knowledge acquired through years of specializing in personal injury law. Our skilled attorneys meticulously sift through evidence from accident scenes like photographs, videos surveillance footage and eye witness accounts; they closely analyse police reports while working collaboratively with traffic engineers and reconstruction experts when necessary- all aimed towards piecing together indisputable facts beneficial to your case.

With this comprehensive understanding, our team can successfully negotiate settlements or present compelling arguments before courts should litigation become necessary:

• We challenge insurers who try dismissing claimants’ injuries as pre-existing conditions.

• Rigorously negotiating for maximum possible reimbursement for clients’ past and future medical costs as well as income losses amongst other damages.

Personal injury claims including those involving pedestrians need timely attention due technological complexities coupled up by intricate laws governing these types of cases. It’s essential to instigate this process promptly; otherwise jeopardising evidence or missing out on filing within statute limitations leading towards claim denial.

Furthermore, it’s noteworthy to remember:

• Illinois follows a comparative fault rule which means if you are found partially at fault for the accident, your compensation may be reduced by an amount that reflects your percentage of blame.

• State laws like these are used by insurance companies against claimants- another reason why retaining Carlson Bier makes pivotal significance in comprehensive understanding and presentation of your case.

Lastly, consideration should be given not just to the past and current financial hardships but also towards future ramifications associated due pedestrian accidents where multiple injuries ranging from musculoskeletal traumas; neurological impairments amongst others might necessitate ongoing therapeutic sessions, medication regimen along with prolonged absence from work.

At Carlson Bier we don’t just provide legal counsel- our unwavering empathetic commitment extended towards each client ensures profound guidance rendered throughout their journey towards recuperation as well as rightful reimbursement. Our experience focussed exclusively on personal injury law underpins our expertise allowing us serve through deep knowledge resources combined with sterling client dedication.

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.
