About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Deer Park Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we are a hardworking team of personal injury lawyers who specialize in various fields, pedestrian accidents being one of them. Our commitment is to safeguard the rights and well-being of pedestrians involved in roadside accidents by ensuring they receive the justice and compensation they rightfully deserve.

Pedestrian accidents occur when an individual walking on a road or sidewalk is hit by a vehicle. These unfortunate incidents may transpire due to several reasons including distracted driving, speeding, failure to yield at crosswalks, ignore traffic signals or engage in intoxicated driving. Certain times during the day such as early morning and late evening may also experience higher likelihood of such incidents due to reduced visibility.

Every pedestrian accident case is unique – from circumstances leading to the incident down to its impact upon individuals involved which could span physical damage, psychological trauma or even fatality. At Carlson Bier law firm based in Illinois, our sharp astute lawyers work steadfastly towards not only identifying culpability but also thoroughly assessing any long-term effects that victims might face like loss of income due to inability to work or costly ongoing medical treatments and rehab.

Victims in a pedestrian accident should be aware of common types of recoverable damages which include:

• Injury-related medical expenses

• Loss of wages caused by injury

• Pain and suffering endured because of injuries sustained

• Temporary or permanent disability costs

• Rehabilitation costs

At this point it’s important you know your rights as a victim under Illinois Personal Injury Laws; you have two years from the date of your injury (or discovery thereof) within which legal action must be instigated – subject otherwise limitation laws apply rendering you ineligible for recovery.

When seeking just closure against those responsible for your ordeal there are certain steps critical towards obtaining positive outcome:

1. Report the incident: Immediately call police after an event occurs.

2. Document Everything: Keep records detailing all interactions related with your incident.

3. Seek immediate Medical Attention: even seemingly minor injuries can transform into major emergencies, hence why an urgent checkup is advised.

4. Consult a Lawyer: Where we facilitate understanding of your legal rights and best course of action to get recompense.

We understand the overwhelming effects these devastating events may bring about in your life and it’s our goal at Carlson Bier to help you through it by providing trusted services characterized by utmost dedication, unrivaled expertise, empathy devoid manipulation, integrity among others.

Our strategic approach and careful consideration to details involved in each client’s unique circumstance are what sets us apart as leading personal injury lawyers for pedestrian accidents in Illinois. We provide clear communication regarding legal procedures, responsibilities of parties involved and guidance throughout every step in seeking justice for you or your loved one.

At Carlson Bier we believe that the aftermath of dealing with a pedestrian accident should not be maneuvered alone; especially when dealing with insurance companies who may aim towards minimizing the extent of victim’s losses thereby weakening their compensation payouts. Our aggressive representation helps ward off attempts from such corporations who might take advantage of victims’ misfortune thus ensuring that the compensation received truly reflects the scope of damages incurred.

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.
