About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Morris Illinois

Experience and legal expertise define the tenets of Carlson Bier, a leading personal injury law firm based in Illinois. Our distinguished team at our reputed law firm is seasoned with vast experience in handling cases pertaining to pedestrian accidents, underpinning our commitment to providing comprehensive service to every client.

Pedestrian accidents can be life-altering, marred by physical discomfort, emotional distress, financial liabilities, and an all-around impact on general lifestyle. It becomes urgent to understand your rights as a victim and what you can expect from a legal standpoint. As skilled advocates representing victims of pedestrian accidents, we maintain a thorough knowledge base of both state-specific legislations and federal regulations that protect pedestrians.

• Pedestrians have the right-of-way in crosswalks – it’s both an ethical road norm as well as formalized legislation.

• Being hit by a vehicle traveling at just 10 mph can cause significant injuries. At higher speeds, these incidents are even more fatal.

• According to Illinois law (625 ILCS 5/11-1002), drivers must stop and yield for pedestrians within the crosswalk – be it marked or unmarked (at intersections).

Untangling complexities around pedestrian accidents necessitates nuanced interpretation of laws coupled with deep insights into various challenges that clients face post such traumatic experiences. In these intricate yet sensitive circumstances trust only exceptional lawyers that diligently handle these indelicate legal intricacies: cue in Carlson Bier.

With professionalism underlining each conversation, our proficient team extends empathetic support while denouncing any trace of leniency when it comes down to securing claim settlements for clients who’ve had pedestrian accident-related injuries inflicted upon them unfairly.

As survivors grapple with healing and returning to normalcy after bearing catastrophic ramifications due to another party’s negligence or recklessness; consequential loss wages along with burgeoning medical bills become insurmountable burdens – this shouldn’t be stark realities they endure alone hence why justice and appropriate compensation is an insurmountable right of victims. Carlson Bier serves as vigilant proponents for this cause.

Understanding the mental, physical, and tangible aspect of damages incurred in pedestrian accidents play a vital role to represent cases accurately:

• Tangible score includes thorough calculation of monetary losses incurred – diving deep into medical bills (emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation costs), wages lost during recovery period and potential impact on livelihood if disability becomes the aftermath.

• Physical discomfort explores not just immediate injuries but long-term health implications that have possibly arisen due to accident incited trauma.

• Emotional distress delves within psychological impacts post-accident – nightmares, fear or newly developed phobias linked with the traumatic incident factoring into assessment scales provides a holistic approach oftentimes overlooked by many practices.

Every client at Carlson Bier can expect personalized attention tailored strategically according to their unique case specifications. From navigating through stringent legal pathways seamlessly; securing substantial evidence underpinning your stand; coordinating with insurance companies and opposing attorneys until procuring justice-oscillating settlements or successful courtroom verdicts are attained; every facet will be methodically accomplished with utmost diligence.Leveraging unwavering dedication towards clients’ concerns amplified by our seasoned operational expertise fuels incoming success stories that hallmark our reputed practice ethos.

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.
