About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Le Roy Illinois

At Carlson Bier, our expertise lies in tackling complex issues related to personal injury cases, with a special focus on pedestrian accidents. As a dedicated law firm based in Illinois, we pledge to protect your rights and negotiate fiercely on your behalf. Pedestrian accidents are an unfortunate reality that can wreak havoc on the lives of individuals struck by vehicles while walking or jogging. While it may seem like these incidents are as straightforward as those involving two motor vehicles, they can actually present unique complexities worth exploring.

In terms of pure physics, a pedestrian-vehicle collision often results in severe injuries requiring extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation; moreover, they also leave life-altering emotional impacts that remain long after physical scars begin to heal. Beyond just immediate medical expenses though, victims often find themselves grappling with loss of work wages and lowered quality of life – factors which take both economic tolls as well as psychological ones. Given these compounded difficulties faced by victims of such incidents, ensuring fair compensation becomes critically important and this is where we at Carlson Bier step into the picture.

When developing legal strategies for pedestrian accident cases, one must consider three key aspects: liability determination – understanding who is truly responsible for the event; damages assessment – evaluating the full-spectrum implications encompassing medication needs potentially spanning years or even lifetime coupled with missed earnings due to inability to return to work promptly after incident; lawsuit stipulations – ironing out nuances around whether auto insurance policies cover crossing streets outside crosswalk areas or non-compliance with traffic laws by pedestrians themselves leading up to accidents – all these elements add layers of intricacy that underline why having specialized legal representatives like us matters so much.

• Firstly, determinations about fault can become mired in complications surrounding negligence laws applicable within Illinois.

• Secondly, accurately evaluating long-term repercussions demand detailed scrutiny over comprehensive cost strings attachable because occurrences seldom confine themselves rigidly within ‘seen’ boundaries.

• Lastly but crucially too, insurance companies and their legal representatives can often be dismissive or underestimating of trauma-related elements thus detracting serious thought away from mental health perspectives deserving due attention.

Approaching these issues requires the guidance and expertise only a seasoned personal injury attorney group like Carlson Bier can provide. We work hard to ensure you are not unfairly burdened by medical expenses and lost wages that result from an incident you had no control over. Plus, we aim to cover every aspect of your case – physically, mentally, emotionally… because when it comes human life value – nothing should get left incompletely addressed.

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.

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

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)
