About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Atkinson Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we understand that pedestrian accidents can substantially disrupt lives, causing physical injury, emotional distress and financial hardship. Based in Illinois, our dedicated team of personal injury attorneys has extensive experience handling a range of pedestrian accident cases with proficiency and compassion. Pedestrian accidents occur when individuals walking or running are hit by vehicles, resulting in injuries. It is essential to know that these circumstances usually lead to severe consequences due to the vulnerability of pedestrians against motorized mobility.

To help you navigate this complex issue more effectively, let’s highlight some key points about pedestrian accidents in Illinois:

– In the majority of cases, driver negligence is the primary cause: Speeding, intoxicated driving, distracted driving and failure to adhere traffic laws contribute significantly.

– Injuries sustained can be catastrophic: Frequently seen are traumatic brain injuries (TBI), spinal cord injuries (SCI), fractures and sometimes fatality.

– Liability determination is critical: A thorough investigation should be undertaken promptly after the accident happens for evidence collection and witness statements.

With years of experience under their belt providing relentless representation to victims in Illinois state law courts around various subjects within personal injury matters including pedestrian accidents, our attorneys work diligently holding those accountable parties at fault for paying damages rightfully owed. From gathering concrete evidence supporting damage claims counteracting attempts made by insurance companies looking to pay minimum compensation amounts or even fighting decisions denying benefits coverage altogether.

Understanding your rights as a pedestrian is paramount during such times—an awareness best bolstered by experienced legal counsel who specialize specifically within all things encompassing personal injury law from collision types involving cars/drivers onto scaffolding collapses inflicting innocent bystanders with harm they never asked nor ever expected would reach them within their lifetime alone passing through random street corners going about daily routines prior till then never questioning safety levels taken for granted previously unaware how quickly life could change dramatically without even a second’s notice beforehand seeing vehicles headed directly towards helpless bodies unable quite literally step away fast enough avoiding contact altogether instead having only moments left speechlessly shocked realizing too late just what’s about to occur…

Moreover, at Carlson Bier, we believe in fighting against these injustices and ensuring our clients get fair compensation. With a strong emphasis on communication and understanding your unique situation, our attorneys work diligently every step of the way from the initial consultation right through to trial and beyond if necessary. This includes assistance with medical bills recovery, lost wages reimbursement for any work that you’ve had to miss due to injury or rehabilitation along with seeking reparations such amounts being decided upon based around individual needs then going further exploring additional areas where financial restitution can be claimed including but not limited to mental anguish therapy sessions needed dealing PTSD-like symptoms emerging following horrors experienced first hand along accident sites.

Remember: as per Illinois law, pedestrians have the right-of-way in crosswalks, both marked and unmarked at intersections – meaning vehicles are required by law to stop completely allowing individuals move across without any interruption whatsoever breaking their stride unhindered uninterrupted uninterrupted free flowing motion until finally reaching other sides safely once again resuming journeys soon afterwards leaving behind nothing remaining connecting them back over places they barely escaped losing lives forever engrained deep within subconscious minds replaying scenes real-life nightmares encapsulating true horror real world dangers lurking behind every corner encountered unexpectedly suddenly transforming serene moments peaceful tranquility instantly into chaotic scenarios unimaginable levels panic ensuing extreme fear sets coursing pulsating veins filled overwhelmed senses reeling disbelief sheer terror taking hold entirely engulfing innocent victims helplessly trapped within times standing still momentarily while life flashes before eyes…all occurring faster than ever previously thought possible human comprehension under all contexts considered together gripping reality loss consequences unfolding aftermaths collisions holding devastating implications transferred onto victims henceforth affected eternally long terms suffering – physically mentally emotionally spiritually financially – tearing apart families friendships relationships abruptly shockingly senselessly tragically…

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.
