About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Neponset Illinois

Headquartered in the heart of Illinois, Carlson Bier is a dedicated legal representation firm offering unparalleled expertise and tenacious advocacy for victims of pedestrian accidents. Understanding and maneuvering the complex legal landscape following an accident can be daunting, but with our team at your side, we simplify the process while fighting for maximized compensation.

Pedestrian accidents paint a distressing reality in urban landscapes due to bustling crowds on narrow sidewalks and crosswalks. Navigating these hazardous situations often leads to severe injuries such as broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, or even fatalities under extreme circumstances. As hurtful as they are disorienting, these unfortunate events demand nuanced handling by specialized lawyers who understand this specific sector of personal injury law.

Carlson Bier’s adept team fully comprehends the intricacies involved when advocating for pedestrian accidents. We possess years of experience navigating extensive investigations that help establish liability conclusively against negligent parties. This insight enables us to construct compelling arguments that hold responsible individuals accountable.

• Identification and establishment of defendant’s negligence: By demonstrating how another party’s actions led directly to your injury, either through reckless driving or breach of traffic laws.

• Proving liability: Using investigative resources such as vehicle black-box data, video footage from nearby surveillance cameras or dash-cams

• Establishing damages: Quantifying physical harm, mental torment coupled with medical expenses incurred due working inability.

Being largely familiar with Illinois’ Pedestrian Safety Laws also positions us uniquely to fight for you fiercely. These laws stipulate motorists must halt their vehicles when pedestrians have entered into any clearly marked walkway or an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection – something we watch out keenly during case build-ups. Other noteworthy directives include mandating drivers shall not overtake other vehicles stopped at crosswalks and requiring motorists emanating from driveways yield right-of-way to approaching pedestrians.

Moreover, our prompt litigation includes financial recoveries for medical bills and lost wages if you’ve been hindered in your capacity to work. We further push for compensation concerning trauma, emotional distress, and conditional damages when sustained injuries have lasting repercussions impacting future life quality.

Navigating this complex process necessitates a delicate blend of empathy, determination and hard-won knowledge – which is precisely what Carlson Bier brings to the table. Our attorneys leverage their considerable understanding of Illinois law coupled with an unquestionable dedication towards client service so that justice is served.

However, settling just any claim doesn’t meet our standard. At Carlson Bier, we truly believe in delivering optimal results – meaning as large a settlement or verdict as possible that fairly represents the full extent of your damages caused by others’ negligence.

In our pursuit for justice, we adopt a proactive approach right from the onset by engaging top field experts who aid in thoroughly investigating accident scenes while helping recreate incident timelines accurately – integral factors that strengthen case positions significantly.

With us handling your legal representation following pedestrian accidents, rest assured you have partnered with some of Illinois’ best personal injury lawyers who understand intensity at each stage compensating appropriately for incurred losses while ensuring rightful negligence attribution leading secured futures ahead.

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.
