About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Antioch Illinois

Discover the robust and unparalleled legal expertise that Carlson Bier brings to each case in the realm of pedestrian accidents. We are a leading personal injury law firm based in Illinois, with an exemplary track-record for safeguarding the rights of our clients injured due to negligent drivers.

Car crashes involving pedestrians represent some of the most devastating types of motor vehicle-related accidents, often resulting in severe physical injuries and emotional distress. The aftermath can be overwhelming: medical bills, loss of income, pain and suffering compounded by navigating insurance company strategies aimed at minimizing their financial obligations.

Here at Carlson Bier, we provide comprehensive assistance during these challenging times. Our key focuses when handling pedestrian accident cases include:

• Establishing negligence: One fundamental part of any personal injury claim revolves around clearly determining fault so those who have been wronged receive justice.

• Thorough evidence collection: This undertaking necessitates medical records pertaining to injuries sustained in the accident and police reports incurred from the event.

• Accident reconstruction: Through this methodical approach, we collaborate with experts to create detailed reconstructions that strengthen your case.

• Insurance negotiation: Our formidable team engages in aggressive negotiations with insurance companies aiming for maximum compensatory value against losses suffered.

Our ingredients for success derive from deep comprehension of Illinois’s Pedestrian Safety Laws designed to protect pedestrians on roadways; Stop-for-Pedestrian Statutes making it mandatory for drivers to stop if a pedestrian is crossing in either marked or unmarked crosswalks; No Passing Vehicles Required To Stop Law preventing drivers from passing vehicles stopped at a crosswalk for pedestrians; and School Zone Speed Limit laws holding drivers accountable for speeding violations occurring within school zones.

We completely understand Illinois’s Comparative Negligence Law as well through which even if you’re partially at fault in an accident as a pedestrian, you may still recover damages proportionate to your degree of fault. Be assured that our dedication lies unremittingly towards obtaining full compensation justified for your losses.

Conclusively, a robust legal strategy individualized to your specific needs means Day One readiness for us. Each case is unique with its elements that influence the desired outcome – the severity of your injuries, recovery time, impact on livelihood and future prospects. We leverage our deep knowledge to analyze these factors from every possible angle.

As pedestrian accident attorneys at Carlson Bier, we take pride in the successful navigation of personal injury claims stemming from various instances – crosswalk accidents where pedestrians have the right-of-way; hit-and-run events placing heavy constraints on recovery options; parking lot collisions usually omitted by insurance companies; children injuries considered severely traumatic due to their vulnerability and ‘dart out’ cases altering crucial aspects within an investigation.

Moreover, while all this might seem overwhelming at first glance, remember that no financial burden falls upon you till we succeed in obtaining rightful compensation for you. Our contingency fee agreement ensures just that — if we don’t win you pay nothing! Additionally, you may ask questions or share concerns anytime — free consultations are always available as part of our client-centric approach!

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.
