About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Lower West Side Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we represent and advocate for those who have been victims of pedestrian accidents in the state of Illinois. As personal injury attorneys, we understand that such incidents can result in severe injuries or fatality; our aim is to provide justice and secure compensation on your behalf.

Pedestrian accidents are instances where an individual on foot encounters an unfortunate incident with a motor vehicle. In most cases, these accidents occur due to driver negligence. Lack of attention, reckless driving or speeding often lead to these traumatizing outcomes. More so, circumstances such as poor lighting or adverse weather conditions may contribute to these situations.

It’s crucial to note some key aspects related to pedestrian accidents:

– Unexpected Medical Expenses: Following an accident, immediate medical attention is necessary which may amass unforeseen expenses.

– Lost Wages: Recovering from an accident might involve lengthy hospital stays and rehab periods causing significant income loss.

– Pain & Suffering: You also deserve compensation for the emotional and physical hardship you endure as a result of your accident.

Carlson Bier’s professional expertise will guide you through this complex legal journey with ease. It begins by conducting a detailed investigation into your case depending on factors like how the accident occurred, whether it was due to any form of neglect by the responsible party or whether there were unattended hazards that created undue risk.

Our team collects all required evidence like photos from the scene of the accident, witness testimonials, police reports, and any relevant video footage further supporting your claim. Next comes calculating possible compensation based on accrued medical bills both present and future apart from lost wages and pain endured.

We then aggressively negotiate a settlement with insurance companies aimed at receiving maximum monetary damages for you while also readying ourselves should trial become unavoidable – ultimately ensuring fairness prevails for every client we represent.

Educating yourselves about legal rights following pedestrian accidents is essential hence why we offer free consultation sessions allowing us most accurately address your questions and concerns while evaluating the potential for a successful lawsuit.

Carlson Bier’s commitment towards our clientele extends beyond mere representation. Our attorneys recognize your need to recuperate

both physically and emotionally following such devastating incidents which is why we ensure every client receives dedicated, personalized attention through each stage of the legal process – this differentiates us, making Carlson Bier not just any law firm but an ally during your turbulent times.

Pedestrian accidents can disrupt lives without warning leading to physical injuries, rising medical bills, income loss causing financial instability alongside emotional distress. In these moments seeking experienced personal injury lawyers becomes not merely a choice but a necessity. Trust in Carlson Bier’s capability will secure the justice you are entitled to while you focus on healing rather than legal complexities involved in claiming compensation rightfully yours.

Is it possible to calculate how much compensation you should receive? Unfortunately no because pedestrian injury cases bear too many variables such as nature and extent of injuries suffered or their future impact on aspects like ability to work, further influencing settlement amounts received.

Yet with Carlson Bier’s expertise coupled with relentless dedication towards securing maximum recovery for clients invariably ensures ideal outcomes. We understand money won’t erase trauma endured but restitution at least offers some relief easing burdens stemming from accidental injuries.

Being involved in a pedestrian accident challenges everything normal about life. However knowing that strong legal support stands by your side drains away stress associated with seeking justice.

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.
