About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Posen Illinois

Recognized for relentless dedication to the rights of injured individuals, Carlson Bier is a preeminent personal injury law firm based in Illinois. With a strong focus on accidents involving pedestrians, we bring expert advocacy and comprehensive insight to these often-complex cases.

Pedestrian accident cases require keen sensitivity due to the severe injuries that can result from such incidents. Understanding the ins-and-outs of this specific type of personal injury claim is fundamental in achieving a desirable outcome. To empower you with valuable information, take note of these key areas surrounding pedestrian accidents:

• Nature and Causes: Pedestrian accidents may occur due to various reasons like recklessness or negligence of drivers who do not observe traffic rules, text while driving, or drive under influence.

• Claim Basis: In general, pedestrian claims are rooted in negligence where someone fails to exercise reasonable care causing harm to another individual.

• Calculation Method: The settlement amount typically takes into consideration factors such as medical bills (past and future), lost wages, damages for pain and suffering among others.

A distinct feature about our firm Carlson Bier lies in our robust approach towards case scrutiny prior to litigation. We thoroughly investigate each incident’s details; determining fault accurately demands expertise which we assure our clients. By gathering evidence strategically – including eye-witness accounts, surveillance videos if they exist, and cross-referencing police reports against other documented evidence – we ensure our client’s case has clarity.

It’s worth noting that your compensation is dependent on establishing liability correctly; therefore having an adept legal aid matters significantly when imaging yourself confronted with intricate insurance policies or tangling negotiation processes. Let us represent you professionally while demonstrating formidable opposition at every turning point within your case journey.

Beyond amplified efforts poured into fact-finding initiatives before going to trial, we derive pride also from meticulous administration of your recovery process post-incident. Your rehabilitation receives equal attention; coordinating with healthcare providers form part of seamless services extended by us whilst pursuing your legal claim.

Remember, under Illinois law every pedestrian has the right to hold the responsible party accountable for their negligent or reckless driving behaviors that cause harm. The law endeavors to protect pedestrians from devastating consequences due to traffic-related incidents while ensuring justice is served when they fall victim to such actions.

Time is of paramount essence after being involved in an accident. In many instances, a two-year statute of limitations applies under Illinois law. It’s important you act promptly by seeking expert advice before this time elapses, and evidential trails become more challenging to trace back.

Carlson Bier stands with you as a dedicated guide during these daunting times; our personalized attention means we are devoted until optimal compensation is secured for your unprecedented hardships encountered. As experienced injury attorneys committed at safeguarding interests of victims involved in pedestrian accidents, count on us for fostering transparency throughout case proceedings and stepping beyond necessities in securing what is rightfully yours.

While knowing the intricacies of personal injury claims involving pedestrian accidents gives you some measure of control over your situation, remember that each case’s circumstances can greatly vary. Therefore having specialized legal intervention plays an essential role in unlocking full potential value attached to your claim.

We invite you now to take one step further by determining how much your case might be worth—an estimation crucial for planning purposeful steps ahead within any legal navigation journey fraught with uncertainty.

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.
