About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Alorton Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we understand that walking should be one of the most elemental and safe activities you do each day. Sadly though, pedestrian accidents are common and often times catastrophic, imparting devastating impacts on those involved. Our team of experienced personal injury attorneys is dedicated to serving victims of such unfortunate circumstances, fighting passionately for justice across Illinois.

Every step a pedestrian takes alongside or across roads brings potential risks. Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration consistently indicates that traffic-related pedestrian fatalities account for approximately 15% percent of all traffic deaths per annum in the U.S. To put it bluntly – too many lives have been lost due to preventable motorist negligence.

If you’re a victim of a pedestrian accident caused by another person’s fault or neglect, it’s imperative to understand your rights and options at this juncture. There’s much you need to know about how complex these cases can be:

• Firstly, establishing liability can be challenging as it requires proof that the motorist breached their duty of careful driving.

• Calcium confusion may persist regarding comparative negligence — assessing if you (as the plaintiff) could indeed share some blame in bringing about the accident.

• Dealing with car insurance companies might pose additional difficulties. These corporations primarily care for preserving their bottom line; they might adopt delay tactics or even make lowball settlement offers.

Our personal injury lawyers here at Carlson Bier are well-versed in interpreting legislation around these complicated matters pertaining to pedestrian accidents. Equipped with years of experience negotiating with insurance companies and presenting robust findings before juries, we advocate fiercely for accident victims while striving for maximum restitution.

Repercussions from serious injuries sustained during a pedestrian accident include physical pain and suffering along with significant financial burdens from medical bills following treatment efforts: therapy sessions, surgeries — not to mention losses incurred due to an inability to work while recovering. Emotional trauma also sets in, causing stress levels beyond measure plus strain on familial relationships. Factoring in these and more, we make sure to paint a complete picture of how your life has been altered post-incident when building compelling cases.

We remain committed to fostering awareness about pedestrian safety while also fiercely demanding accountability from motorists who threaten this. Our mission is not just winning lawsuits – it’s about ensuring you receive compassionate legal service resulting in deserved justice and compensation for your tribulations.

As seasoned personal injury lawyers, our team understands intricacies resulting from pedestrian accidents. We know that proving negligence takes strong evidence like witness testimonies and relevant traffic camera footage whilst liability and damage calculations require expertise grounded in a deep understanding of state laws and insurance policies. At Carlson Bier, what matters most is your story; backed by diligent investigation approaches, our attorneys champion your rights relentlessly.

Remember, in any personal injury case, time is critical. The longer it takes to start your claim process could impact the recovery significantly – both medically and financially. Therefore, as soon as you are able after an accident occurs: document everything related to the incident – medical reports, photographs if possible etc.; avoid giving recorded statements without advice from an attorney; scheduled consultation with a competent legal expert well versed in pedestrian accidents.

Facing risks as a pedestrian offers very limited protection against larger vehicles on roadways but harboring knowledge on how such incidents can be avoided reduces this risk marginally while enhancing overall preparedness for future occurrences should they arise. Equipping ourselves with substantial information always serves better safeguards during unwarranted events reflecting one compelling reason why Carlson Bier commits to delivering valuable educational experiences alongside comprehensive legal assistance for clients facing terrible hardships due to pedestrian accidents.

When dealing with pedestrian accident claims or processing the trauma following such an event— remember Carlson Bier is here to guide you through each step along this arduous journey towards fair closure with compassion-filled dedication imbued with unmatched professionalism within Illinois’ realm of Personal Injury Law.

Now knowing all these points, are you ready to proceed for justice? If it’s a resounding yes, then don’t waste another minute.

Together we can strive towards achieving rightful restitution while ensuring adequate learnings echoed through this ordeal transform into practical actions warding off future pedestrian accidents effectively within our communities.

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.
