About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Bannockburn Illinois

At Carlson Bier, our esteemed personal injury attorneys lay great emphasis on assisting clients who have unfortunately been involved in pedestrian accidents. These mishaps can create significant physical and emotional trauma, and we are committed to offering top-notch legal service throughout Illinois. Our goal is to ensure that the victims are adequately compensated for their suffering.

Pedestrian accidents are incidents where an individual walking or running on foot is struck by a vehicle or cyclist. The injuries from these accidents range from minor cuts and bruises to serious harm like fractures, traumatic brain injury, or even loss of life. Circumstances leading to these unfortunate incidents vary widely – it could be due to driver recklessness, such as speeding or not yielding at crosswalks; distractions caused by mobile phones; poor visibility; driving under influence or defective automobile parts.

The complicated nature of these cases makes having expert legal guidance crucial. At Carlson Bier, our dedicated team of adept lawyers possesses the expertise required for intricately navigating the maze of Illinois laws associated with pedestrian accident cases.

Here’s why we stand out:

• Experience: We bring years of accumulated knowledge & trial experience.

• Thorough Case Evaluation: Each case is meticulously assessed for its unique circumstances.

• Extensive Injury Network: A solid network of medical professionals assist us in fully comprehending the injuries sustained.

We understand how distressing it is when you’re injured because someone else was negligent. It’s equally daunting when thinking about medical bills piling up while you’re unable to work. That’s precisely where we come into picture – countering your concerns head-on! We passionately fight for maximum remuneration so that your focus stays on recovery rather than towering bills.

Additionally, policies surrounding time frames known as statutes of limitations underline how vital it is not only to get appropriate medical attention but also consult an attorney promptly after the accident occurs – another factor Carlson Bier takes very seriously.

Despite common misconceptions, most lawsuits are settled before having to face a full trial — the at-fault party’s insurance company generally negotiates settlements. However, should your case go to court, our experienced litigators will ardently represent you. We stand prepared for whatever path your lawsuit takes.

Understanding Illinois-specific details and their bearing on legal proceedings is paramount. For instance, Illinois uses what’s known as ‘Modified Comparative Negligence’ in personal injury cases – This means an injured pedestrian can recover damages even if they were partially at fault for the accident, so long as they were less than 50% responsible.

With so much uncertainty surrounding pedestrian accidents, we believe education is key to empowering you during these challenging times. Our website hosts a vast arsenal of resources that may prove instrumental in understanding how the law operates in this regard.

At Carlson Bier, our top priority is attending to your needs and securing justice on your behalf by ensuring that all negligent parties are held accountable. Remember – though daunting now; there is hope ahead.

Having an established personal injury lawyer from Carlson Bier assisting you not only enhances your chances of receiving maximum compensation but also affords peace of mind during such distressing periods.

If this has resonated with you or shed light on any concerns that could have been nagging at the back of your mind – it’s time to take the next step! You may be contemplating how much exactly could be due for lengthly hospital stays or sky-high medical bills; relief from pain & suffering caused or numerous other expenses which have thrown life out-of-balance isn’t easily quantifiable.

We encourage you to click on the button below so that we can help establish what fair compensation looks like for your individual situation. Contact us today because every minute counts when fighting against time-barred claims in courtrooms across Illinois! Remember at Carlson Bier, we’re stern defenders ready champion justice “for” victims like yourself; let’s understand together just how much your case is worth!

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.
