About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in New Lenox Illinois

Personal injury cases involving pedestrian accidents can be complex, and they need experienced legal muscle to navigate. Partner with Carlson Bier, a reputable law firm in Illinois, dedicated to securing justice in personal injury cases arising out of pedestrian accidents. Our focus is on providing our clients with expert guidance and insights essential for pursuing their rights and securing the compensation they deserve.

Pedestrian accidents often manifest catastrophic injuries or fatalities that can adversely impact victims’ lives on varying scales. In fact:

• They account for around 15% of traffic fatalities annually;

• Almost 65,000 pedestrians are injured yearly because of these crashes;

• Most pedestrian casualties involve children aged between 5 and 9.

These numbers underscore why taking necessary precautions while out walking or driving is crucial. However, if you or a loved one has been a victim of such an unfortunate incident due to someone else’s negligence or wrong-doing, Carlson Bier puts at your disposal not just unwavering support but also seasoned attorneys who specialize in effectively handling cases like yours.

The complexity of pedestrian accident lawsuits comes from the myriad factors involved—each diverse situation requires comprehensive inspection into every facet mixed up—from evaluating crash scene evidence to piecing together eyewitness testimonies—and everything that surrounds this predicament: insurance companies pushing back on claims; maneuvers from the defendant’s side trying evasion; medical bills piling up—the list goes on. Plus it also warrants establishing liability correctly—determining fault isn’t always black-and-white in such matters.

However, we at Carlson Bier ascertain exactly how accountability lies by investigating:

– The motorist’s failure to yield right of way;

– Distracted driving (texting whilst driving);

– Driving under influence (DUI);

– Reckless/careless driving (speeding/weaving through traffic).

Though financial restitution doesn’t reverse physical/emotional suffering brought onto you/your family by the mishap caused due to someone’s fault, it massively aids in lightening the load of medical bills cropping up, future rehabilitation costs and replacing wages lost as a result. With competent legal assistance from Carlson Bier, safeguarding your interests becomes substantially less stressful.

We dedicate our resources and abilities to ensure we extract all crucial facts from these accidents. This process involves collaborating with professional investigators to examine every minute detail meticulously—from site inspection to going through police/medical reports—followed by negotiation with insurance companies for rightful compensation or launching a rigorous lawsuit if required.

The attorneys at Carlson Bier have decades of combined experience dealing with personal injury cases related specifically to pedestrian accidents — this exclusive focus on such cases allows us greater insights into their intricacies that can ultimately make the difference in your claim favorably. Our team meticulously walks you through every step of the legal labyrinth—making sure your case is put forth compellingly while ensuring all relevant deadlines are punctually complied with.

We empathize how life-altering pedestrian accident can be, which is why we prioritize helping you rebuild by securing maximum possible restitution—we look after all legal hassles allowing you ample latitude to focus primarily on recovery.

Concluding an extensive probe into your case’s specifics—we fight tooth and nail towards obtaining justice while zealously advocating on your behalf whether negotiating settlements or before jury representation; in sum: persistently striving towards making this ordeal manageable—for you’re not alone in this journey—the committed team at Carlson Bier stands beside unwaveringly placing relentless efforts guided by core principles—that revolve around delivering justice for aggrieved victims legitimately entitled thereto!

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.
