About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Bartelso Illinois

At Carlson Bier, our team of personal injury attorneys specialize in a multitude of arenas, including the complex and delicate field of pedestrian accidents. As dedicated legal professionals based in Illinois, it is our mission to inform you thoroughly on this topic. Pedestrian accidents cause devastating injuries that can shake up your life drastically. Our experienced lawyers navigate these murky waters with staunch dedication to ensure fairness and justice are upheld.

Understanding what amounts to a pedestrian accident is crucial before delving into its complexities. A pedestrian accident refers to an event where an individual on foot enters into an unexpected incident with a moving vehicle leading potentially severe injuries or even death. This scenario plays out more often than one may like to think; According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately 6,000 pedestrians were killed by motor vehicles in the U.S in 2017.

Knowing what causes these incidents provides substantial value when dealing with such cases – hence here are key contributors:

• Distracted driving: Many drivers fail to notice and yield for pedestrians due to texting while driving.

• Drunk or intoxicated driving: Impaired judgment from alcohol or drugs could be fatal for unsuspecting walkers.

• Failure to yield: Drivers obligated by law must stop for pedestrians at crosswalks but often neglect their duty.

• Disregard for traffic controls: Red lights and Stop signs exist for essential reasons—even failing once can lead monumental errors.

Being familiar with these elements aids everyone involved as each case heavily depends on its circumstance- ranging from determining who held responsibility during the incident to calculating precise compensation sums factoring in medical expenses and other damages involved.

It’s equally vital noting certain intellectual obstacles present when distinguishing blame—like understanding contributory negligence.(Contributory negligence expresses that if an injured person acts negligibly which concludes their involvement indirectly causing the accident, then according to Illinois state laws they might not get compensated fairly)

Pedestrian safety forms an integral part of our modern lives; laws established to protect pedestrian rights play a pivotal role in everyday scenarios— whether that could be crossing lanes prudently or activating crosswalk signals timely. In contrast, the daunting aftermaths of these incidents can turn life upside down within mere moments leading to substantial distress from medical, financial, and emotional grounds.

At Carlson Bier Associates, we provide vigorous legal representation for you when such unforeseen accidents occur—Our team consisting of experienced personal injury lawyers tirelessly work towards obtaining justice on your behalf while aiming for maximum compensation possible under Illinois law. We guide our clients through every step ensuring not just their rightful settlement done but also offer emotional support during difficult times post-incident with utmost sensitivity and care.

All information aside, remember it’s crucial to take immediate action after a pedestrian accident occurs—implementation of providing medical help first starting with contacting authorities is critical; taking noted evidence recalling events if possible further enhances case handlings by helping establish liability more precisely later.

Trust our competent team here at Carlson Bier—in-depth knowledge partnered with unmatched experience produces high results consistently.

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.
