About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Pinckneyville Illinois

Pedestrian Accident is one of the most pressing concerns on our roads today. When an unexpected accident occurs, it can change your life in ways you least expect, and that’s where a professional law firm like Carlson Bier comes in. With rigorous experience as personal injury attorneys based in Illinois, we assertively stand up for pedestrians who have been harmed due to negligence.

Our legal team comprehends the complexities surrounding pedestrian accidents. These cases go beyond merely proving who was at fault; they involve deeply understanding motor vehicle laws and pedestrian rights as well. Our commitment to delivering superior service allows us to navigate these intricacies effectively, ensuring victims obtain fair compensation for their suffering.

Understanding the common causes of pedestrian accidents aids significantly in determining case strategies. Among them are:

– Distracted driving

– Speeding

– Failure to yield or stop

– Driving under influence

By acknowledging such causes, we set out to prove liability conclusively and scientifically.

Injuries sustained from pedestrian accidents often result in substantial medical bills, treatment expenses, lost wages due to time off work along with pain and suffering that impacts quality of life. At Carlson Bier, we offer clients clear advice on potential compensations they could receive depending upon specific circumstances of their accident such as:

– Current and future medical costs

– Rehabilitation services if required

– Lost income during recovery procedure

– Emotional distress caused by the ordeal

Our legal guidance is based on realistic evaluations ensuring that our clients are thoroughly aware of all possible repercussions involved.

Furthermore, Carlson Bier places a significant emphasis on timeframes because according to Illinois Law – Statute of Limitations – you only have two years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit against responsible parties. Delaying this process may limit chances for securing rightful compensation making timely action imperative.

Specific pedestrians’ rights vary state-wise but universally encompassed is the fact that drivers should avoid harming pedestrians whenever possible even when right of way is breached. Our experts will work diligently to protect these rights, even when cases are seemingly insurmountable, as pedestrian accident cases often involve factors not clear-cut.

While law enforcement prepares an official report following the accident, it is critical for pedestrians and their families to conduct independent investigations and collect eyewitness accounts. Carlson Bier stands ready to offer assistance on this front aiming for a holistic fact-driven approach boosting their claim’s potency.

In essence, pedestrian accidents usually result from negligence or reckless conduct from motorists accentuating the importance of obtaining legal counsel such as Carlson Bier who can navigate through these dense parameters ensuring victims have fair access to compensation entitled to them by Illinois Law.

Remember, choosing the right personal injury lawyertainly makes a difference between merely receiving monetary compensation and significantly affecting life—providing justice while setting a precedent that protects others in future situations similarily.

As you read through our comprehensive overviews of pedestrian accidents, we hope that they provide significant value in understanding your situation better and knowing how laws in Illinois are designed to ensure your protection. Ultimately at Carlson Bier, our goal isn’t just about legal representation but more about helping clients regain control over their lives after traumatic pedestrian incidents – providing personalized attention every step of the way.

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.
