About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Oak Run Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we are a group of dedicated and experienced Illinois personal injury attorneys with an unwavering commitment to safeguard the rights of pedestrian accident victims. We firmly believe in serving our clients with integrity, compassion, and determination to secure the best possible outcomes for their cases.

Encountering a pedestrian accident can be a challenging event in anyone’s life. It tends to throw individuals and families into chaos due to physical injuries, emotional trauma, financial strain caused by medical bills and income loss. Pedestrian accidents could occur as an outcome of reckless driving, impaired driving (due to alcohol or drugs), distracted driving (like texting while driving), speed violation, or failing to yield at crosswalks.

The first thing one must remember after experiencing such an incident is not solely about your physical well-being but also your legal right to compensation for any damages suffered due to someone else’s negligence. Here at Carlson Bier, our depth of knowledge in local laws allows us significant insights into what steps should be taken post-accident:

• Secure Medical Aid: Ensure proper medical examination is conducted even if injuries seem non-serious initially.

• Contact law enforcement: To ensure accurate documentation that would enhance factual representation.

• Engage witnesses

• Document the scene

Our eminent team possesses extensive experience dealing with insurance companies proficiently. They often attempt minimizing payout settlements; however, our acumen ensures you get justified compensation assuring coverage for medical expenses incurred and future treatments required along with lost wages due to incapacitation during recovery.

While every pedestrian accident case carves its unique path toward justice particularly based on various factors such as liability establishment & severity level of injuries sustained amongst others; typical proceedings involve:

• Initial Consultation: Thorough assessment to determine claim viability including chances of successful pursuance considering strength gathered from evidence provided.

• Investigation Phase: Comprehensive study done via extrapolating details through various means like interviews performed on relevant parties, obtaining pertinent documents & inspecting surrounding scenery closely.

• Settlement or Trial: If negotiations result in a mutually agreeable resolution the case concludes with settlement. If not, preparation begins for trial.

We strive to have your voice heard amidst all legal complexities that might be intimidating initially. Our team tirelessly navigates these challenges to alleviate additional stress you may endure during the recuperation phase henceforward fostering uninterrupted recovery nurturing resilience against adversarial tides marking this period.

Our law firm respects each client regardless their spoken language, therefore we provide Spanish translation services too, assuring everyone insured under the constitution’s shelter obtains due justice without hindrance due to communication barriers.

Your encounter with us at Carlson Bier associates you with an entity whose key pillars sustain on serving its clients selflessly wrapped within diligent pursuit towards maximized compensation realised via rectifying wrongs committed unknowingly by another party leading to harmful consequences borne unintended.

Lastly, remember time is critical when seeking compensation for pedestrian accidents because Illinois applies a statute of limitations – time permitted legally post-accident within which one must file the lawsuit; most personal injury cases allow the two-year window, yet certain circumstances influence as well. So don’t delay when it comes to reaching out for assistance.

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.
