About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Eldorado Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we understand the trauma and uncertainty that follows a pedestrian accident. As a credible personal injury attorney group based in Illinois, our mission is to give victims guidance during this complex legal process. Pedestrian accidents can result in severe injuries or even death – a painful reality that no one should face alone.

When an individual is involved in such an incident, it’s essential to know their rights and how best to protect them. The law provides protections for pedestrians by holding motorists accountable when their neglect or reckless actions cause harm. However, proving liability can be a complicated matter intertwined with many factors including traffic law nuances, eye-witness accounts, and confidentiality of medical records.

• Accidents may occur due to several reasons: distracted driving like texting and driving; speeding; failure to yield at crosswalks; impairment due to drugs or alcohol; disregard of weather or traffic conditions.

• Another critical aspect comes from shared fault incidents, where both parties—the driver and the pedestrian—may share responsibility for the accident.

• Moreover, the medical expenses resulting from hospital stays, therapy sessions, long-term care needs or rehabilitation services could quickly snowball into financial burden leaving victims overwhelmed.

Our team of experienced attorneys are adept at navigating these intricacies unique to pedestrian accidents. We strategize relentlessly towards crafting robust lawsuits rooted in meticulously gathered evidence — all aimed at securing maximum possible compensation clients rightfully deserve.

The ensuing legal battle often leans heavily on negotiating skills – an art perfected with years of experience representing diverse cases spanning countless scenarios: life-changing catastrophic injuries seen commonly after hit-and-run episodes or minor yet consequential ones like broken limbs endangering livelihoods post sidewalk tripping situations. Our strategy matrix includes aggressively pushing for fair settlements without requiring court appearances as well as tenaciously fighting each case through trial if needed – reflecting how passionately we advocate being by your side throughout this harsh journey you’re unfairly subjected to.

Insurances companies have vast resources at their disposal, and they often use these to minimize payout amounts – a situation victims find themselves unprepared for given the emotional turmoil they already grapple with. Our commitment thus extends beyond pursuing legal rights, ensuring that you can focus exclusively on your recovery while we handle all aspects of achieving justice for you.

Proficiency in communication is another cornerstone of our approach: we believe it’s imperative that every client thoroughly understands each part of this complex process to make informed decisions impacting their case. Our team emphasizes clear and concise interaction – an attribute reflecting experienced handling of sensitive information ranging from filing claims right up until receiving compensation.

Navigating pedestrian accidents claim processing is daunting but with Carlson Bier by your side witnessing a proven expertise fortified by compassion in action should inspire hopeful resilience. We don’t just show up to work; we turn up primed to fight for what’s rightfully owed to each one who trustingly steps into our premise – motivated wholly by their harrowing experiences underscoring how critical our relentless representation becomes in restoring life’s balance brutally disrupted via painful incidents.

Remember, time is a crucial factor after pedestrian accidents because of statutory limitations starting imposing deadlines almost immediately after such episodes occur which may result in missing opportunities towards obtaining eligible compensation if not acted upon promptly.

Our dedication resonates deeply within Illinois’ communities having witnessed countless lives regained control working with us. Let’s begin uncovering underlying potential embedded within your unique circumstances awaiting to reveal itself – tap on the button below right away! Rest assured knowing there’s absolutely no obligation or fee unless successful retrieval has been secured resulting from our collaborative partnership championing your cause throughout this trying journey marks notable strides towards redefined futures inherently dignifying accident victims’ resilient spirit persistently forging ahead against all odds staunchly backed by Carlson Bier attorneys forever embodying unwaveringly firm faith entrusted onto them.

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.
