About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Jonesboro Illinois

At Carlson Bier, an accredited Illinois-based Personal Injury Attorney Group, we strive to serve as advocates for those who have suffered serious consequences due to pedestrian accidents. Armed with a deep-seated understanding of the potential physical and emotional damages these incidents can inflict, our professional legal team handles each case methodically and diligently to provide optimal outcomes.

A pedestrian accident occurs when any non-occupant of a vehicle is struck by motorized transport. They are among the most harrowing types of personal injury cases that often result in severe injuries or fatalities. Multiple risks abound even on the sidewalks and crosswalks where pedestrians are meant to be safe; speeding vehicles, distracted or impaired drivers, poorly maintained pathways or roads – all these may contribute to such tragedies.

Critical aspects involved in pedestrian accident claims primarily encompass liability determination and damage assessment. This includes establishing the responsible party’s negligence which led to your injury; it could be reckless driving, ignoring traffic signals, failing to yield right-of-way at crosswalks etc. Damage evaluation refers to calculating full extent of losses: medical costs incurred (both present & future), pain & suffering endured, lost wages due to inability work post-injury etc.

At Carlson Bier, our goal isn’t simply delivering adequate legal representation – we aim for compassionate counsel tempered with fierce advocacy. Apart from helping establish fault and determining fair compensation for your claim, we also cater extensively towards managing insurance company interrogations

• Guiding you through repudiations/denials

• Negotiating rightful settlements

• Instigating lawsuits if required

Resolving a pedestrian accident claim demands intricate knowledge about local regulations in Illinois as well as extensive trial experience since most insurance companies prefer courtroom battles over generous settlements.

The impact after being involved in a pedestrian accident not only leaves one physically hurt but emotionally distressed too – having experienced counsel by your side significantly lightens this burdensome load off your shoulders so you can focus on recuperation.

Remember, you have specific rights in these circumstances – as a victim of negligence, Illinois law offers you comprehensive legal protection. At Carlson Bier, we herald your rights above all else and work scrupulously to ensure they remain safeguarded amidst complex litigation processes.

When crafting an effective lawsuit for pedestrian accidents in Illinois, our astute team takes several factors into account: obtaining official reports from the scene of accident, photographic or video evidence if available; procuring medical evaluation detailing extent & nature of injuries sustained etc. Equipped with such substantial information and committed representation furnished by us – you can be confident about navigating surmounting challenges on road to fair remuneration

Pedestrian accident laws are intricate – it’s pivotal that every conversation with insurance adjusters is handled cautiously so possible manipulation tactics laid out to reduce your claim value could be nixed off right at inception. Remember that time plays a key role post-accident since evidence begins fading quickly and there are strict statutory deadlines (per ‘statute of limitations’ rule) enforced within which proceedings need to get initiated.

Every interaction counts when defending an accident claim- hence it’s essential that informed guidance follows victims throughout this traumatic journey.

At Carlson Bier, we give life-changing circumstances the seriousness and professionalism they deserve while keeping your best interest at heart. Severe consequences preceded by pedestrian accidents necessitate powerful representation – irrespective of whether ensuing challenges require negotiation finesse or formidable courtroom strategy; we’re here empowering you towards recovery

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.
