About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Lebanon Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we understand that pedestrian accidents can occur at any moment due to a variety of reasons. As one of Illinois’s premier law firms specializing in personal injury, our primary objective is offering support and expert legal assistance to individuals involved in such incidents while ensuring that you receive the compensation rightfully owed for your pain, suffering, and other related damages.

A pedestrian accident happens when an individual walking on sidewalks, roads or other designated pedestrian areas is struck by a vehicle. It brings about several physical injuries which may include trauma resulting from the impact – these could be fractures, brain injuries or spinal cord injuries; emotional distress caused by their sudden encounter with motor vehicles; financial difficulties as a result of the hefty medical bills coupled with lost wages.

The intricate issue about pedestrian accidents lies within state-specific laws and proving fault. However, rest assured that our legal experts will walk you through every step of the way when it comes to:

• Identifying the liable party: The first critical step in ensuring justice following an accident involves identifying who was at fault – was it reckless driving or did pedestrians fail to adhere to traffic rules?

• Gathering ample evidence: This includes police reports, photos from the scene of the accident, witness statements among others which significantly contribute to building your case.

• Negotiating settlements: Our experienced attorneys fully comprehend that enduring pain is not just physically straining but financially challenging too hence spotting unbalanced settlement proposals while working towards obtaining maximum compensation for you.

At this juncture arises another pertinent question – what entails fair compensation? Fair compensation encompasses all tangible expenses incurred post-accident including medical costs and lost wages together with intangible aspects like pain and suffering conditions contingent upon each victim’s unique circumstances. Therefore:

• A thorough evaluation of all past-and-future out-of-pocket expenses related-to treatment (physical therapy sessions etc.) should be considered.

• Factoring anticipated future earnings including possible promotions if in full-time employment.

• Accounting for punitive damages where the defendant’s actions were particularly egregious or reckless, this deters similar behavior in future.

Through all these, our experts at Carlson Bier will seek favorable outcomes for you. We respect your rights as a victim of such accidents, appreciating that every situation has unique circumstances and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to legal representation.

It’s only fair that after enduring the pain and the life-altering experiences associated with pedestrian accidents, every individual gets fully compensated for their losses. This becomes plausible when experienced legal representatives like us are on your side tirelessly advocating on your behalf!

Accidents don’t announce themselves; they happen even to cautious pedestrians crossing through laid-down paths obeying traffic rules making it essential always to have a legally prepared defense against such unforeseen instances ensuring pursued justice isn’t an uphill battle but rather an assured victory over undue suffering.

Take a step towards achieving peace of mind post-accident by learning more about how much your case could be worth! Trusting Carlson Bier Law Firm comes along with utmost confidence that we can cross-examine information provided and uncover vital evidence assuring maximum compensation following traumatic episodes of pedestrian accident-related injuries – kindly click below and let us help shoulder some of these burdens!

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.
