About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Mount Olive Illinois

As an esteemed law firm, Carlson Bier understands the complexities of pedestrian accidents. We believe that every citizen in Illinois should be equipped with sound knowledge about this vital topic, hence we’re dedicated to providing you with comprehensive information concerning pedestrian accidents.

Pedestrian-related incidents typically refer to anyone on foot who becomes involved in an accident due to collision with a car or other type of vehicle. The consequences can range from mild injuries to severe and life-altering damages such as broken bones, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and sadly fatal outcomes. The psychological trauma after experiencing such an ordeal cannot be overlooked either.

When fault determination comes into play for pedestrian accidents, one thing to note is that simply because a person is on foot does not automatically imply culpability lies solely with the motorist. Courts consider various factors including but not limited to:

• Direct observations (e.g., witness statements)

• Physical evidence

• Local traffic laws

• Duty of care

Each party involved must exercise reasonable conduct considering the prevailing circumstances at the time of occurrence. However, proving negligence for compensation claims isn’t always straightforward; you’ll need expert legal guidance throughout this process—this is where we come in.

At Carlson Bier, our focus has consistently been protecting the rights of accident victims and helping them recover compensation for their loss appropriately. If you are a victim of a pedestrian accident and believe another party was negligent or irresponsible — whether it’s a driver’s failure to yield right-of-way or driving under influence — we possess years of experience in handling these cases judiciously; ensuring optimal interest protection for our clients.

Importantly having us represent your case gives access to:

• Detailed investigation: Our team works fastidiously gathering necessary facts—a critical first step towards obtaining justice.

• Expert negotiation: Leveraging years of expertise dealing with insurance companies guarantees maximized claim value.

• Trial representation: If your claim proceeds to court, our experienced trial attorneys will be there to represent you.

Our commitment is ensuring victims don’t just become another statistic but they fight for the justice they deserve; that’s why we place importance on building strong cases based on evidence and critical evaluation of each incident.

In Illinois, pedestrian accidents law states that accident victims have a two-year statute of limitations—from the date of their accident—to file an injury lawsuit against a negligent party. Be aware that failure to comply with this timeframe might result in your case getting dismissed regardless of its merit. So, it’s vital to act promptly post-accident and engage a seasoned attorney without delay.

Remember, even though no amount can truly compensate for physical or emotional trauma wrapped in any form of vehicular mishap, fair compensation can significantly alleviate healthcare expenses, lost wages and other unforeseen costs related to your accident which is nothing short than what you deserve.

At Carlson Bier, we are more than mere counselors and representatives — we pride ourselves on being trusted legal partners helping victims navigate through such testing scenarios toward securing maximum entitled compensations effectively and productively.

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.

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.
