About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Farmersville Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we provide comprehensive legal assistance for victims of pedestrian accidents in Illinois. Understanding the potentially devastating impact such incidents can have, our priority is to ensure justice is served and appropriate compensation acquired for those who unfortunately find themselves in these circumstances.

Pedestrian-related accidents are unique occurrences that may involve several unexpected factors, from driver negligence to hazardous road conditions. To help you better understand their dynamics, we’ve outlined some crucial aspects below:

• Driver Negligence: This is the most common cause of pedestrian accidents. Drivers often fail to adequately scan their environment or may be distracted by mobile devices.

• Illicit Substances and Alcohol: Impaired drivers pose a significant risk on roads as they’re less capable of spotting pedestriansand slower reaction times.

• Speeding: A speedy vehicle reduces the time for adequate response from both drivers and pedestrians.

• Poor Road Conditions: Unmarked cross walks, lack of sidewalks or poorly designed junctions can contribute to pedestrian injuries.

As part of our approach at Carlson Bier, we work diligently with experts such as accident reconstruction professionals and medical practitioners to excavate all relevant evidence. We aim not just to win your case but secure maximum compensation possible under law. Whether it’s gathering footage showing the accident scene or thorough scrutiny of healthcare records – no aspect is left unexplored.

Protection of rights and interests forms an essential core value at Carlson Bier – a statement that stands irrefutably demonstrated through dedicated representation at every level; pre-trial settlements, courtroom litigation or post-judgement proceedings. We are committed champions seeking fair outcomes addressing clients’ needs holistically rather than mere financial restitution.

Let’s delve deeper into what this promises you:

• No Fee Until Recovery: Carlson Bier operates on a contingency basis ensuring you don’t pay any fees until recovery has been made.

• Individual Focused Approach: Each case is handled singularly paying meticulous attention to its unique details.

• Clear Communication: At every step, we ensure you fully understand the proceedings and matters at hand.

One thing is certain; pedestrian accidents can severely impact an individual’s life. However, with adequate legal assistance, victims are offered a fair chance to recuperate losses. At Carlson Bier, we firmly stake our reputation on making this possible.

In light of the widespread loss from pedestrian accidents in Illinois, it becomes paramount for lawyers like us to stress upon prevention measures as well. We actively propagate awareness about road safety rules such as keeping alert for pedestrians especially in school areas or residential zones where children could unexpectedly run into streets.

Pedestrian rights also hold great importance under state laws with Illinois leaning towards ‘Pro-Walker’ standards emphasizing crossing regulations over vehicles yielding at corners and not overtaking other cars stopped at crosswalks allowing pedestrians safe passage.

Needless to say, if you’ve been hit by a vehicle while walking in Illinois – don’t dismay! Our experienced personal injury attorneys will review your case free charge assisting you with claim procedures and lifestyle support impacting positively on recovery paths and overall life quality post-incident.

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.
