About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Buda Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we are steadfast in our advocacy for the rights and concerns of pedestrian accident victims. As a respected personal injury attorney group based in Illinois, we pay careful attention to the realistic challenges faced by individuals who have been injured due to negligent drivers. Traversing through busy city streets or even peaceful suburban neighborhoods as a pedestrian should not put one’s life at risk. However, facts tell us differently as thousands of pedestrians fall victim to accidents each year. At Carlson Bier, we hold your safety and wellbeing paramount.

Pedestrian accidents can occur due to countless factors. Some common causes include distracted driving where motorists may use cell phones, eat or apply makeup while behind the wheel; speeding where drivers neglecting traffic signs cause harm; drunk driving; poor road conditions like faulty crosswalks signals or poorly lit roads; and disregarded right-of-way at intersections leading to collisions with innocent passersby.

When unfortunate instances strike resulting in such terrible circumstances, effects can be devastatingly traumatic extending beyond physical injuries and impairing mental health too. Injury severity often varies from minor bruises and abrasions, fractures and dislocations, spinal cord injuries leading to paralysis or brain injuries outputting cognitive function impairment which all demand significant medical care translating to burgeoning treatment costs.

The legal team at Carlson Bier believes that compensation should ideally cover several critical facets of post-accidents repercussions:

• Physical damages: This refers primarily to medical bills required for immediate treatments along with potential future therapies and surgical procedures.

• Pain & Suffering: These non-economic aspects relate directly towards emotional distress caused due to severe injuries endured during the accident.

• Lost income: If an individual’s earning capacity is affected temporarily or permanently because they are unable to continue working following their injury.

• Out-of-pocket expenses: Including prescription medications, aids devices or assistance required post-accident.

Personalized evaluation goes into determining these compensation dues to present a strong case that encapsulates the complete picture of the victim’s suffering as accurately as possible.

At Carlson Bier, we strive diligently in pursuing justice for our clients. An integral part of our legal process lies in demonstrating careless or negligent conduct from the responsible party leading up to the accident. Playing by legal principles, it becomes essential first to establish duty-of-care by the errant driver towards pedestrians then proving its breach which directly caused injuries and resulting damages eventually.

Know this – walking on the streets doesn’t automatically make individuals lesser road users! Your rights persist just like anyone else’s using public space rightfully designated for pedestrian use even if you traverse intersection crosswalks, walkways etcetera without any vehicle. It’s indispensable for drivers to respect these pavements and proceed with caution ensuring safety along shared spaces.

While these accidents might initially appear straightforward, often they carry substantial complexities within their details requiring an adept understanding of Illinois laws plus strategic litigation experience which only seasoned personal injury attorneys such as us can provide best!

Navigating through your insurance claim processes can be overwhelming single-handedly when also coping with physical and emotional recovery post-accident. Our beloved clientele place their trust in us empowering their fight against injudicious violators who disturb pedestrian rights hence we take absolutely no fees until we win the compensation you duly deserve!

Remember time is of essence, keeping timely records regarding incident specifics helps us compile a robust case underlining important arguments favorably while statutes dictate quick action imperative especially when implementing civil lawsuits since there exist certain validity periods after which claims are rendered invalid by Illinois courts. We ardently recommend reaching out promptly following collision incidents ensuring comprehensive representation from ground zero matters discussed explicitly via confidential consultations majorly suited at serving your interests foremost above all other considerations.

So why wait? Understand how much your lawsuit could potentially be worth taking into account fair assessments accommodating intricate aspects embedded deeply within accident scenarios marginalizing no potential provisions, naturally boosting case value.

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.
