About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Benld Illinois

Understanding the complexities of pedestrian accidents and their consequential legal actions is essential for anyone who has experienced a collision. At Carlson Bier, an esteemed personal injury attorney group based in Illinois, we specialize in representing victims of these unfortunate occurrences. Our dedicated team prides itself on providing unrivaled expert advice and legal support services to clients plagued by pedestrian accident-induced predicaments.

Every year throughout Illinois countless pedestrians are involved in injurious incidents due to motorist negligence. A organized chaos as ordinary as enjoying a leisurely stroll can tragically spiral into a life-altering event fraught with pain, suffering, medical costs, and lost wages. If you’re navigating through such circumstances currently or have previously encountered this harsh reality, it’s crucial that you understand your rights under Illinois law—a realm that Carlson Bier breathes life into every day at the battle frontline against injustice.

Firstly, individuals must comprehend that pedestrian accidents denote any circumstance where an automobile strikes someone on foot; examples range from situations at intersections or parking lots where motorists fail to yield right-of-way to jaywalking-related incidences. Secondly, contrary to popular belief not all pedestrian accidents translate into straightforward blame on drivers; scenarios do exist wherein pedestrians might bear fault—for instance crossing highways during dark hours bedecked in non-reflective clothing or walking across roads under intoxication influence.

Nevertheless, despite this partial responsibility clause in cases involving contributory negligence drivers mostly account majorly for the vast majority of pedestrian accidents—often resulting from distracted driving (like texting), disregard for traffic signals/signs/speed limits/other road rules plus impaired operation due to drugs or alcohol usage.

Experiencing a collision impacts more than just physical health—it also entails dealing with medical bills whilst grappling loss of income during recovery periods or even permanently if injuries sustained prove severe enough. Such financial strains coupled with emotional trauma demand attention beyond primary medical care—one needs comprehensive legal aid too…a hierarchical need that Carlson Bier caters to adeptly.

• Sound legal counsel ensures victims secure optimal compensation covering medical expenses, lost wages and future monetary losses.

• Expert attorneys guide clients in negotiating with insurance companies, who often try to minimize claim settlements.

• Professional lawyers optimize the likelihood of case triumph by establishing a clear incident narrative, substantiating negligence plus documenting all relevant damages.

Apart from this, Illinois’s Statute of Limitations dictates pedestrian accident lawsuits get filed within two years post-incident. Delay beyond this term potentially forfeits a victim’s right to financial recovery; making timely legal intervention imperative for success.

Navigating through complexities like these alone can be overwhelming—a reality understood well at Carlson Bier. We pride ourselves on our exceptional ability to comprehensively analyze cases, develop robust strategy schemes designed around personalized needs whilst keeping clients informed throughout case progression cycles. Our commitment revolves around safeguarding your rights ensuring you receive every penny owed rightfully after such harrowing life episodes.

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.
