About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Golconda Illinois

Carlson Bier, a premier personal injury attorney group based in Illinois, has extensive expertise in handling pedestrian accident cases. Pedestrian accidents can be devastating and often require legal help to secure the deserved compensation for victims. Our competent team is equipped with an exceptional track record of achieving successful outcomes and maximizing the satisfaction levels of our clients.

Pedestrian accidents often arise from unforeseen circumstances that demand thorough investigation or negotiation with insurance companies to ensure adequate reimbursements. The staff at Carlson Bier understand the importance of tackling these crucial elements, pledging commitment towards:

• Comprehensive Investigation: We examine every intricate detail of your case, gathering information needed including police reports, witness testimonials, and any other substantial evidence.

• Negotiation with Insurance Companies: Having dealt with multiple insurance cases regarding pedestrian injuries; our experienced attorneys are well-versed in their tactics and strategies which they use lucratively when negotiating on your behalf.

• Determining Liability: One key factor in securing compensation is determining who is at fault for causing the accident – it could be a driver’s negligence or hazardous road conditions managed by municipal agencies.

Understanding the Illinois State Law regarding pedestrian rights could aid significantly while filing a claim. There are two vital statutes that pedestrians should know about:

• Right-of-Way at Crosswalks states that drivers must yield at marked and unmarked crosswalks (625 ILCS 5/11-1002)

• Obedience to Traffic-Control Devices asserts that a pedestrian must obey traffic signals and abide by ‘Walk’ / ‘Don’t Walk’ signs (625 ILCS 5/11-307)

Safety remains paramount – pedestrians need to cross only designated walkways; still, if an accident occurs due to someone else’s error, you are entitled by law to seek fair settlement.

At Carlson Bier, we realize every case is unique requiring tailored approach and strategy. Essentially this underpins our quest for establishing liability through comprehensive investigations – it could be a reckless driver, poorly maintained footpath or even unresolved ice and snow on sidewalks. Carlson Bier is committed to getting you the much-deserved justice through meticulous surveillance and deciphering complexity of Illinois Traffic Laws.

Some common damages you can claim in pedestrian accidents include:

• Medical expenses, which might cover ambulance charges, hospital bills, surgery costs, medication and rehabilitation.

• Loss of earnings due to injury-induced inability to work. This also includes future potential loss stemming from long-term incapacity or disability.

• Pain and suffering that covers physical pain as well as emotional trauma associated with the accident.

Acknowledging these aspects will provide a well-rounded purview regarding your rights after encountering such unfortunate incidents.

It’s essential to understand that statutes of limitation apply for filing legal claims pertaining pedestrian accidents in Illinois State Law – ideally within two years from the date of the accident. However, under exceptional situations like discovering lingering side-effects from accident-related injuries later on – there are provisions allowing time extensions for filing lawsuits against relevant parties.

The journey towards claiming entitlements following a catastrophic event may seem daunting initially; this is exactly where our attorneys demonstrate their proficiency – making sure each client thoroughly understands procedures involved during every step providing right measures ensuring complete peace of mind.

Achieving satisfactory outcomes following inadvertent occurrences hinges predominantly on adept representation by seasoned attorneys guaranteeing rightful closure for afflicted victims grappling with irreplaceable losses.

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.
