About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Martinsville Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we’re not just about representing clients; we strive to empower them through comprehensive legal education. With over two decades of focused practice in Illinois, we’ve carved an indelible niche in personal injury law – particularly in the realm of pedestrian accidents. Pedestrian accidents can lead to a series of life-altering injuries that may include but aren’t limited to severe traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, fractures or broken bones, internal bleeding and organ damage.

Several factors contribute heavily to pedestrian accidents:

• Careless driving: This includes speeding, ignoring traffic lights or signs and failing to yield right-of-way at intersections.

• Distracted driving: Use of mobile phone while driving is a major cause as well as other distractions like eating or applying makeup.

• Impaired Driving: Alcohol and drug impairment continues to be a predominant factor leading to such unfortunate incidents.

• Weather conditions: Poor visibility due to foggy weather or rainy season also frequently leads to pedestrian-related mishaps.

Understanding these causes can assist you in identifying any negligence on behalf of the driver involved if you or your loved one are ever put into this unfortunate situation.

The disastrous impacts following pedestrian accidents extend beyond physical harm alone; victims often find themselves grappling with exorbitant medical bills while staring at the daunting possibility of lasting disability or absence from work for prolonged periods—a much-too-heavy price paid for another individual’s disregard for road safety regulations.

Retaining expert legal counsel promptly after an accident could make all the difference between a successful claim and complex litigation leading nowhere. That’s where our team steps in—we at Carlson Bier pride ourselves on providing premier legal assistance tailored according to each case’s particular needs. Our commitment goes beyond merely winning cases—we aspire towards achieving maximum compensation while ensuring superior client service throughout the process.

We approach all aspects associated with a claim comprehensively—be it negotiating insurance settlements zealously, navigating intricate medical bill liens, or litigating aggressively when needed. Our team adopts a client-centric approach, where your condition and the consequences stemming from it remain at the forefront of our strategies.

Carlson Bier thrives on a rich legacy woven into thousands of successful cases, earned respect within local courts, and positive feedback expressed by clients who’ve seen their lives transformed after entrusting us with their claims. Although every accident varies significantly regarding circumstances and impacts suffered, we have been victorious in obtaining considerable recoveries for medical costs (both current & future), loss of earnings due to inability to continue work, disability accommodation expenses and not to mention compensation attributed to pain and suffering caused.

As personal injury laws limit the timeframe within which legal proceedings may be initiated (Statute of Limitations), acting swiftly ensures that vital evidence is preserved – facilitating stronger claim building.

So why settle for less than you rightfully deserve? The aftermath following an accident can leave you feeling overwhelmed; however, you don’t need to traverse this tedious path alone! Let Carlson Bier shoulder your legal burdens so you can focus solely on healing and rebuilding life post-injury.

Your resilience coupled with our unwavering dedication forms a winning combination poised towards urgency in action and excellence in results. Remember—every second count as opportunities fade with passing time. Discover hassle-free navigation through the complex world of law backed by all-encompassing support offered only by dedicated professionals like us.

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.
