About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Grant Park Illinois

At Carlson Bier, our law firm expertly handles personal injury cases, specializing in Pedestrian Accident cases here in the great state of Illinois. We pride ourselves on championing the rights of accident victims, diligently pursuing justice and compensation for your unfortunate experience.

Pedestrian accidents are a distressingly common occurrence with potentially severe consequences. The U.S. Department of Transportation attests that nearly 6,000 pedestrians perish annually due to road traffic incidents. As seasoned personal injury attorneys who specialize in pedestrian accidents, Carlson Bier recognizes the trauma and setbacks linked to these tragic events.

A deeper look into pedestrian accidents pinpoints several typical causes such as inattentive or distracted driving—including intoxication—and speeding where drivers fail to yield right-of-way to pedestrians legally using crosswalks or sidewalks. These factors frequently contribute to serious injuries including spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), broken bones, and emotional trauma among other potential harm.

• Speeding – This is notorious cause for many types of auto accidents as well as pedestrian mishaps. High speeds decrease control which often limits a driver’s ability to effectively steer clear of pedestrians.

• Intoxicated Driving – Impaired judgment arising from substance use significantly contributes to vehicle-pedestrian collision rates.

• Distracted Driving – Nowadays it’s not uncommon for drivers’ attention is drawn away by gadgets like cell phones or car equipment thereby an elevated risk of hitting pedestrians unsuspectingly crossing roads.

• Disobeying Traffic Laws – Neglecting stop signs, ignoring right-of-way rules at junctions can lead to fatal crashes involving innocent bystanders or pedestrians

In terms of legal redress following a pedestrian accident owing to third-party negligence or misconduct, you may be entitled to comprehensive compensation covering medical bills—both past and future expected costs—loss of income if you’re unable to work due rehabilitation timeframes and permanent disabilities if applicable also feature within remunerations. Importantly, you might be indemnified for emotional distress including pain and suffering as well as loss of life’s enjoyment following your ordeal.

Our seasoned attorneys at Carlson Bier are thorough, leaving no stone unturned when fighting for your rights. We engage in steadfast negotiation with insurance companies to ensure they fulfill their coverage obligations appropriately. Unfortunately sometimes insurers aim to underpay claims or find grounds for total rejection, we step in at this juncture providing robust representation essential during these stressful situations.

Often accident victims may shy away from legal assistance due to concern over cost; at Carlson Bier, our fee policy states that there are zero upfront costs – payment only becomes due if we win the case securing compensation on your behalf; a testament of our commitment in chasing justice for our clients without any undue financial stress.

Remember: Illinois law sets a statute of limitations stipulating that personal injury lawsuits stemming from pedestrian accidents must be filed within two years post-accident date highlighting why immediate action is crucial paving way towards rightful recompense.

Naturally every case has unique aspects but having chosen Carlson Bier—an accomplished personal injury law firm that understands the intricacies behind pedestrian accident litigation—you’re putting faith in expert hands dedicatedly prioritizing your needs while relentlessly pursuing justice with uncompromising diligence.

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.
