About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Capron Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we understand the severe consequences that a pedestrian accident can inflict. Our seasoned Illinois personal injury attorneys are dedicated to securing rightful compensation for victims involved in such unfortunate events. Pedestrian accidents often result in grave injuries, sometimes even fatal outcomes, and can have life-altering effects on the victim’s physical health, emotional wellbeing, financial stability, and overall quality of life.

Educating yourself about pedestrian accidents is an essential step towards understanding how to safeguard your rights and attain justified reparation. Primarily, it’s vital to know that not every accident involving a pedestrian automatically assigns liability upon the driver. Multiple factors come into play when deciding who’s at fault- it could depend on traffic signals, distractions like mobile phones or intoxication, right-of-ways or reckless driving.

Here are some crucial aspects you should know:

• How Violations Of Traffic Rules Can Impact The Case: It’s critical to ascertain whether there were any flouting of traffic regulations during the incident. These rules aim to maintain discipline on roads whilst ensuring safety for all those present.

• Role Of Comparative Negligence In Determining Liability: Under Illinois law, both parties’ responsibilities are measured before determining final claim amounts if both are found liable.

• Coverage Under Personal Injury Protection (PIP): Depending upon your policy coverages and circumstances surrounding the case; PIP might provide coverage regardless of who was at fault.

Understanding these key points helps create awareness and guidance if ever caught in such devastating situations. However, maneuvering through legal complexities post-injury alone when already fighting with potential trauma can be overwhelming. This is where we step in – our compassionate group at Carlson Bier offers formidable representation to those affected by pedestrian accidents while providing them holistic support throughout their recovery process.

Another significant aspect worth noting is time limitations regarding filing lawsuits for personal injury claims in Illinois typically two years from the date of occurrence. Hence prompt action following an accident is pivotal to preserve your rights. It allows ample time to collect necessary evidence, consult expert witnesses and build a solid case.

Furthermore, you should also prioritize immediate medical attention following the accident. Even seemingly minor injuries can develop serious complications over time if left unchecked. Your detailed medical records serve as crucial pieces of evidential support during personal injury claims processes too.

At Carlson Bier, we earnestly believe that pedestrian accident victims deserve maximum compensation for their ordeal—this includes covering related financial burdens like lost income due to inability to work post-accident, long-term medical treatments, or future rehab costs in severe cases plus any emotional distress caused by this traumatic event. With our expertise and profound knowledge base on personal injury law coupled with an unfaltering commitment towards our clients’ wellbeing – we strive tirelessly to secure the justice they truly deserve.

We are proud Illinois attorneys with a heart for the injured victims whom we serve; although legally bound from implying specific presence in Capron city without having a physical office there.

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)

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.
