About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Beckemeyer Illinois

Carlson Bier, as a premier Illinois-based personal injury law firm, is exceptionally well-versed in representing victims of pedestrian accidents. Every year, thousands of pedestrians fall prey to traffic-related accidents – incidents that derive from the negligence and irresponsibility of motorists. Such unfortunate happenings can lead not only to physical injuries but also emotional trauma coupled with substantial medical bills and loss of wages due to incapacity for work.

Pedestrian accidents come with their unique set of challenges which require comprehensive understanding of traffic laws and personal injury doctrine. When Carlson Bier takes on your case, we delve into every detail—everything from accident reconstruction to scrutinizing potential surveillance footage—to ensure our clients receive the compensation they rightly deserve.

Major reasons for pedestrian accidents include:

• Distracted driving

• Excessive speed

• Failure to yield

• Impaired driving

Understanding your rights and seeking appropriate help post such an incident could seem complicated, especially when you’re focused on recovery. Ranging from minor scrapes or bruises to serious impairments like brain damage or spinal injuries—a pedestrian accident can entail numerous repercussions. If you are a victim, it’s vital to understand that legal compensations aren’t restricted merely towards covering your immediate medical expenses—in fact, it extends further encompassing aspects like pain & suffering caused by post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), ongoing physical therapy costs in cases involving cerebral palsy (CP) or orthopedic/joint function disorders resulting from the impact.

At Carlson Bier, we spare no effort in ensuring our clients get what they justifiably deserve: A full recompense for their present predicament plus any future ramifications arising out of the mishap. As far as possible negations during lawsuits go—insurance companies notoriously try shrinking claims’ worth citing ‘shared blame’. But don’t let these tactics intimidate you! Rasping through the statutes governing comparative negligence within Illinois state law—we at Carlson Bier battle relentlessly, safeguarding you from devaluation maneuvers and securing your right to compensation.

Most importantly—remember, there’s a strict legal deadline termed as ‘statute of limitation’ within which you must file your lawsuit. Post this timeline—courts usually deny hearsay of any personal injury case (including pedestrian accidents). In Illinois, the said window is typically two years from the date of accident—with certain exceptions only in extraordinary circumstances.

Trauma follows no schedule and most definitely strikes when least anticipated. Though we can’t reverse the unfortunate incident—we most certainly extend our comprehensive and compassionate legal aid to empower your fight for justice. At Carlson Bier, we employ an individualized approach with each case, analyzing all details meticulously before strategizing an apt legal course viz-a-viz maximizing our client’s entitled reimbursements under state laws.

We invite you now to harness the extensive experience and robust results that Carlson Bier boasts prominently at par with other groundbreaking personal injury law firms statewide! It doesn’t cost anything to get started—we offer free initial consultations. All fees are on a contingency basis—you don’t pay unless we win or settle your case successfully.

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.
