About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Dalton City Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we are committed to championing the legal rights and interests of individuals who have been unfortunate victims of pedestrian accidents. As experienced personal injury attorneys based in Illinois, we know all too well that such incident not only results in physical damage but also inflicts emotional trauma and financial burden.

Pedestrian accidents often occur due to a driver’s failure to yield right of passage when they are supposed to, distracted driving or reckless driving behavior. These incidents can lead to severe injuries such as broken bones, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries or even fatalities.

Understanding what step to take following a pedestrian accident is vital:

– Seek medical attention immediately: Even for seemingly minor injuries.

– Notify the police: To have an official report on record.

– Collect details: Information from any witnesses present at the scene.

– Contact a lawyer: To guide you through the aftermath of your accident.

Every case demands personalized attention and proactive measure – this plays into the core methodology at Carlson Bier. We address each detail meticulously thereby ensuring nothing is left unexplored as we strive diligently towards obtaining maximum possible compensation for our clients. Pain and suffering, loss of earnings including potential future income, past and future medical costs; these are potential elements which form part of your rightful claim that we’ll help recover.

In addition to having seasoned lawyers with profound knowledge in handling pedestrian accidents cases, at Carlson Bier, we operate on contingency fees basis. This simply signifies that our payment comes out from settlements won; should there be no award realized then no fee applies – illustrating clearly how invested we are in securing justice for our valued clients.

Safety regulations put forth by municipal authorities aim primarily to avoid such occurrences; designed walkways aimed at separating pedestrians from traffic flow being one amongst them. Every responsible citizen should respect these paths intended for their safety coupled with paying heed on both incoming vehicular/foot traffic signals.

However it’s unfortunate when despite taking preventative measures, instances happen when mishaps occur. This is usually resultant from negligence on the part of drivers; when they surpass speed limits, or choose to ignore traffic signals. Drunk driving is yet another aspect contributing towards a rise in pedestrian accidents and such behavior cannot be tolerated as it puts innocent lives at risk.

At Carlson Bier we are adept and relentless in pursuing legal recourse for such irresponsibility. We ensure those responsible are held accountable while striding ahead with all possible exertion towards easing your path through this distressing time. Settlements won previously not only cover medical expenses that accrued due to the incident but also forecasted future costs which might arise pertaining to injuries sustained – thereby accounting for comprehensive convenience.

Whether you’ve been injured as a pedestrian yourself or if you’re looking out for someone who has fallen victim to a pedestrian accident, knowing where lawyers have their expertise can mean greater reassurance. At Carlson Bier we specialize precisely in personal injury cases rooting from Pedestrian Accidents amongst others, standing up against insurance companies attempting to minimize claims or simply not acknowledging them altogether.

The relevance of acting swiftly post an unfortunate incident of being involved in a pedestrian accident case cannot be overemphasized: statutes set by Illinois law prescribe the time within which claim filing becomes void – hence timely legal representation becomes absolutely vital.

It’s high time advocacy and justice become synonyms once more with merely no room for compromise. Let our seasoned team at Carlson Bier guide you through every step of this labyrinth dubbed ‘lawsuit’. Remember your rights hold strength over any adversity and we’re here unconditionally every step of the way.

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.
