About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Lake Barrington Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we excel in advocating for those who have been victimized in pedestrian accidents. Our experienced team of personal injury attorneys in Illinois is dedicated to supporting you through the emotionally-draining and complicated aftermath of such incidents. A pedestrian accident not only inflicts physical pain but could also entail a lengthy healing period associated with excessive medical costs and mental anxiety. Our mission at Carlson Bier is to ensure that victims receive fair treatment and adequate compensation for their troubles.

Pedestrian accidents can occur due to various reasons such as distracted driving, overspeeding, or violation of traffic laws. Unfortunately, the impact on pedestrians can be devasting – often resulting in severe injuries like fractures, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries and even death. In fact:

• On average, a pedestrian was killed every 85 minutes in traffic crashes in 2018.

• According to the insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), most deaths occurred in urban areas away from intersections.

• Older adults and children are often more susceptible to these types of accidents due to slower movement speed or less awareness about fast-approaching vehicles.

Understanding your rights after sustaining an injury as a pedestrian majorly hinges upon identifying liability accurately on the party at fault. Establishing negligence is thus crucial; it requires proving that the errant driver was disobedient towards their duty of care towards others on the road including pedestrians.

Our seasoned legal team at Carlson Bier meticulously studies each case, gathers evidence supporting your claim and pursues compensation vigorously against negligent parties. Compensation might be awarded for:

• Medical expenses: This includes immediate emergency services up till long-term rehabilitation required.

• Lost wages: If an individual cannot work during recovery time or suffers permanent disability leading to loss of earning capacity.

• Pain and Suffering: The emotional trauma which accompanies physical distresses serves as grounds for additional claims under this umbrella term.

It’s important to understand that the legal process may be long and complex. Remember, legal claims can only be pursued within a certain ‘statute of limitation’, varying from state to state.

Therefore, if you or your family member has undergone an unfortunate pedestrian accident, it is suggested to seek immediate help from skilled personal injury attorneys. Timely action can significantly enhance the likelihood of obtaining rightful compensation.

At Carlson Bier we treat each case with utmost dedication and professionalism. Our team的 expertise extends beyond providing expert counsel. We navigate clients through convoluted insurance policies whilst shielding them from aggressive opponents who aim to curb their rights for fair reimbursement.

Noticeably, our remarkable track record stands testament to our unwavering commitment towards securing justice for victims of pedestrian accidents in Illinois.

While no monetary amount could ever suffice your anguish after a tragic pedestrian accident, fair recompense can ease some financial burden and aid in recovery. Astoundingly,

• The Center For Disease Control And Prevention (CDC) calculated that in 2015, the total cost devoted to both medical expenses and work loss due to fatal pedestrian accidents was $49 billion!

Navigating such high stakes territory requires relentless advocacy and thorough law interpretation abilities -something we pride ourselves at Carlson Bier in delivering effectively!

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.
