About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Allendale Illinois

As a premier law firm in Illinois, Carlson Bier prides itself on representing clients who have been the unfortunate victims of pedestrian accidents. Every day, unanticipated incidents can occur that significantly disrupt lives and create daunting challenges to overcome. Pedestrian accidents are some of the most common mishaps with often devastating consequences that could span from minor physical injuries to fatal casualties or long-term disability.

Our team ensures your legal rights are protected when you or a loved one is involved in a pedestrian accident. The key facets of these cases include identifying liability, understanding the exact cause of the accident, calculating accurate compensation based on your unique scenario and consistently guiding you through each step toward pursuing justice.

Accurate identification of fault is crucial for success in personal injury lawsuits concerning pedestrian accidents. A variety of parties could be liable for your incident – be it negligent drivers not observing proper road rules or perhaps municipal bodies responsible for maintaining safe vehicular and walking paths.

Understanding the precise cause behind the incident also aids tremendously in establishing blameworthiness. Pedestrian accidents may involve aspects such as driver negligence, distraction due to mobile devices, impairment from alcohol or drugs, speeding beyond prescribed limits or outright disregard for traffic lights and signs.

Another essential element is correctly assessing damages suffered – this could encompass current and future medical expenses arising from hospital care, rehabilitation therapies along with lost wages from unexpected leaves taken off work; not forgetting potential psychological stresses endured.

In our commitment to providing value-based information:

– We acknowledge the importance of having someone constantly update you on lawsuit proceedings.

– Our experienced attorneys advise on recovery options while taking into consideration pre-existing medical conditions exacerbated by the accident.

– Remember that time frames matter: In Illinois State Law statute of limitations typically allows two years after an event within which personal injury claims must be made.

Working individually with each client case enables us at Carlson Bier to ensure every particular detail gets its due attention resulting in delivering personalized strategies that cater to your specific needs. Our success is ascertained by the trust built through years of resolute practice and a large contingent of satisfied clients.

Regardless of the complexity involved in these cases, we stand committed to our primary mission: ensuring justice for individuals burdened undeservingly amid pedestrian accident cases and assisting them on their path to recovery. The compassion coupled with diligence demonstrated by Carlson Bier has resulted in securing millions in settlements for our clients’ personal injury claims.

These accidents could be overwhelming; juggling between healing physically and emotionally while simultaneously thinking about shouldering unexpected financial burdens. Allow us to bear this additional stress for you.

Admittedly, no amount can possibly compensate for the intense trauma endured post-accident or loss of a beloved family member due to unfortunate incidents; however, obtaining relevant legal recompense helps provide adequate resources necessary towards recuperation efforts or refunding expenses linked with untimely deaths.

Considering taking the first step might seem unnerving especially when grappling with aftermaths of such strenuous experiences – but remember this is essentially about your well-being.

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)

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.
