About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in New Windsor Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we specialize in representing clients who have been unfortunate victims of pedestrian accidents. While Illinois is known for its vibrant pedestrian culture and safety precautions, these accidents can still occur with devastating consequences. Our team of dedicated personal injury lawyers is committed to standing up for the rights of individuals injured due to others’ negligence.

Pedestrian injuries are unfortunately quite common in Illinois. These instances typically arise from distracted driving or failure to yield right-of-way at crosswalks, amongst other factors. The aftermath can be distressing and life-altering too: physical harm can range from minor cuts and bruises through to severe trauma such as bone fractures or even Grey Matter damages (brain tissue damage), not forgetting the potential psychological distress that surviving victims may endure.

Several key points assist us in constructing robust cases on behalf of our clients:

• Proof of Negligence: We work relentlessly to prove that another party’s carelessness or lackadaisical behaviour resulted in your accident.

• Damage Documentation: Proper recording of injuries and damaged property forms an integral part of the case.

• Knowledge & Experience: Our law firm combines both years of practical experience coupled with a comprehensive understanding of Illinois State laws governing personal injury suits related to pedestrian accidents.

We want you fully informed about what comes next after encountering such an event:

1. Report the Accident: Firstly, contact local law enforcement to record a formal report detailing everything that transpired during this dreadful period.

2. Obtain Medical Treatment: It cannot be emphasized enough how crucial immediate medical attention is following an accident – even if preliminary symptoms appear minor initially; internal injuries could manifest later.

3.Be Cautious-The defendant’s insurance company may seek statements designed to limit their liability thus potentially reducing your compensation claim value- always consult with Fuller Law before participating in a recorded statement.

4.Document:Diligently document every aspect linked directly or indirectly towards your recovery phase-this includes keeping track on medical expenses, transportation costs to-and-from doctor appointments or therapy sessions and even lost wages.

At Carlson Bier, we understand that every case is unique. Therefore, our lawyers devote personalized attention to each client’s scenario before devising a tailored legal course most suited to your needs. Let us put this dedication at your service and leverage its full potential for securing maximum compensation allowed by Illinois law on your behalf.It’s crucial to us that you comprehend how the entire process will unfold alongside what measures are being taken in pursuit of justice and reparations. To help further your understanding about the possible compensation value of your case, let’s break it down:

• Reimbursement for Medical Expenses: Whether past due or future expected costs stemming from emergency care, surgery or ongoing treatment.

• Lost Wages: During recovery time off work might be required; as such any earnings missed during this phase could also be potentially recoverable.

• Pain & Suffering: Here lies an abstract category where monetary value can never equate emotional torment or the physical pain encountered after these accidents yet forms a significant portion of damage claims.

Before moving forward with litigation proceedings though, it’s critical that clients make informed decisions based on solid data and professional guidance which is where our commitment towards offering top-notch consultation comes into play – ensuring everyone understands their prospective claim’s worth.

So why wait? Contact Carlson Bier today! Our dedicated team is ready to act swiftly ensuring no stone remains unturned throughout the discovery process hence building up strong cases favoring our clients’ interest.

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.
