About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Huntley Illinois

Understanding your rights when involved in a pedestrian accident is critical and can significantly influence the outcome of your case. As Carlson Bier, we offer comprehensive legal representation to those who have suffered as a result of such unfortunate incidents within Illinois.

Pedestrian accidents often occur due to the negligence, recklessness or distraction of motorists. These include speeding, failure to yield right of way at crosswalks, ignoring traffic signals and signs, impaired driving due to alcohol or drug use, and instances characterized by distracted driving.

Injury claims related with these incidents are premised on proving that the motorist was indeed at fault by illustrating their violation of safety rules designed for pedestrians protection – a concept known as negligence per se. As experts in personal injury law, our team here at Carlson Bier possesses specific skills designed to help you navigate this complex landscape.

Here are several reasons why having us represent you could make all the difference:

• Experienced Representation: We harness our vast experience handling similar cases to ensure you get maximum compensation.

• Thorough Investigation: We conduct independent investigations into every case we handle. This includes reviewing police reports, interaction with eyewitnesses, analyzing medical reports and sometimes reconstructing accident scenes.

• Strategic Negotiations: Insurance companies do not always have your best interests at heart when handling claim settlements; they aim primarily maximize their profits while suppressing payout costs. Our duty is advocating for clients’ rightful compensation from unjust insurers.

• Trial Readiness: If negotiations don’t suffice in obtaining fair results, then we aren’t afraid to take matters further. At Carlson Bier, trial readiness is an integral part of our strategy from commencement of a case till its closure.

Depending on each individual scenario and subsequent damage incurred following an accident involving pedestrians under Illinois law could entail injuries arising from medical costs and rehabilitation expenses including physiotherapy or surgeries; pain-and-suffering damages which encompass both emotional distress (e.g., anxiety) & physical discomfort; lost wages & reduced earning potential; property damage (if applicable); and wrongful death damages in case of fatalities.

Proving fault and establishing the degree of client’s suffering holds paramount significance while deciding compensation. If you’re involved in a pedestrian accident, seek immediate medical attention even if you feel unscathed because certain injuries could not present symptoms immediately, thereby slowly manifesting over time such as soft-tissue injuries or traumatic brain injuries.

At Carlson Bier, we hold proactive duty towards protecting your rights and empowering you to proceed rightly amidst tumultuous aftermath of pedestrian accidents. We prioritize providing insightful advice on eligible compensations according to Illinois law, ensuring adequate counsel during each progressive step towards recovery by fostering collaborative relations rooted deeply in trust and transparency.

Navigating these legal waters should not be an additional burden post such incidents. Let our team handle complexities while incorporating best strategical approaches designed to suit individualistic requirements thus simplifying eventual lawsuit processes that may oftentimes appear daunting for many victims.

Insurance companies won’t aid in recovering every single entitled dollar associated with your claim. It becomes increasingly important therefore to rely upon dedicated expertise promising rightful compensation hence alleviating substantial strain induced by unforeseen circumstances arising thereof such unfortunate occurrences which otherwise potentially hamper life’s smooth sailings along lines we envision desirably without obstacles interrupting those routes drastically instead focusing optimistically on restorative paths ahead encased within supportive pacing intact setting precedence laterally defined credibility unmatched any sphere comparable favorably against unjust harassment courtesy unbiased professionals wit primarily aimed at maximizing their clients’ contentment levels besides reducing hardship faced throughout this journey from injury till attempted miracles conjuring satisfactory resolutions as expected thus retaining harmonious relationships guaranteed unconditional empathy served alongside result oriented tactics always score high echelons contemporary societal standards whereas commitment shown single handedly makes us preferred choice discerning individuals seeking quality services never compromise less than perfection absolute terms considered reckoned party shared emotions colored heartfelt sentiments rather than shallow promises marred by competitive edge running business-oriented goals strictly commercial considerations thus reflecting our team’s passionate dedication towards being client-centric.

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.
