About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Kingston Illinois

At Carlson Bier, a highly acclaimed personal injury law group based in Illinois, we understand that a pedestrian accident’s impact is more than physical—it can also be financially and emotionally burdensome. We are passionate about ensuring our clients get the rightful compensation they deserve when suffering from the repercussions of an accident caused by another party’s negligence. We focus on crafting strong personal injury cases while you concentrate on your recovery and rehabilitation.

Pedestrian accidents are unfortunately far too common and can result in severe, life-changing injuries – ranging from broken bones to lasting body paralysis or even wrongful death. This illustrates why it’s essential to seek legal representation promptly if you have been involved in such unfortunate circumstances. Moreover, understanding the causes as well as the preventive measures for these types of accidents could be vital for individuals who often navigate their journeys by foot.

• Driver distraction: Drivers distracted due to texting or eating stand as one of the leading causes of pedestrian accidents.

• Poor visibility: Conditions such as heavy rain or dim light can reduce visibility, resulting in mishaps.

• Disregard traffic laws: An incident is prone to occur when vehicles ignore road signs or specify speed limits.

• Drunk driving: Intoxicated drivers lack proper judgment causing severe calamities.

However, it should be noted that all these situations might affect your case’s value, evaluating properties like photographic evidence of accident scenes and recovery progression documents becomes crucial. For this reason, gathering all suitable forms on time with professional guidance will give you more control over pursuing justice rightfully.

The immediate aftermath of any accident brings chaos and confusion – where victims typically seem overwhelmed dealing with insurance companies inquiries regarding what occurred exactly just moments after their incidents! Here at Carlson Bier we fully comprehend how intimidating those scenarios may feel thus offer full-service legal representation during claims procedures along helping clients gather necessary information related directly towards strengthening our client’s cases against potential adversaries.

Yet again emphasizing why obtaining quality legal assistance instantly post such unfortunate occurrences is crucially important. We work closely with medical professionals, accident reconstruction experts, and law enforcement to ascertain the facts surrounding each case. This meticulous approach allows us to build successful compensation claims that cover a broad range of damages:

• Medical expenses: These can skyrocket in severe pedestrian injuries involving surgical procedures or long-term therapy.

• Loss of earnings: Incurring through skips from works during recovery periods.

• Permanent disability: Some victims might become permanently disabled due their caused accidents – which significantly changes lives.

At Carlson Bier, we have an unwavering commitment towards our clients’ health and financial wellness while highlighting this through fighting tirelessly so they receive what rightfully belongs to them!

Nevertheless, devising a fail-proof strategy requires complete understanding over specific laws regarding pedestrians’ rights within Illinois localities too. Did you know that according to state guidelines ― drivers should yield right-of-way for individuals crossing streets inside marked lines? Additionally it also specifies reckless motor vehicle behavior as illegal activity meaning drivers should exhibit care towards avoiding collisions.

Our dedicated team at Carlson Bier has extensive experience managing complex personal injury cases, ensuring that claimants get fair reimbursement through successfully navigating convoluted legal processes involved under contradistinguish circumstances!

Time might seem insignificant yet acts as your ally today; essential steps like contacting our expert attorneys immediately after an unfortunate event can significantly differentiate between simply accepting average insurance payouts versus achieving full compensation deserved due suffering another party’s negligence!

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.
