About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Quincy Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we specialize in personal injury law with a particular focus on pedestrian accidents. Navigating the legal process following such incidents can be challenging and emotionally draining. That’s why our mission is to provide not only exceptional legal representation but also clear and detailed educational content about Pedestrian Accident cases that offer immense value to you.

Pedestrian Accidents are life-altering events that often involve extensive medical treatment, loss of wages, emotional trauma, and more. The reasons for these accidents are numerous. Some factors include reckless drivers who disregard traffic signals or signs, drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol, speeding vehicles that fail to stop in time for pedestrians, and unawareness of a pedestrian’s right-of-way at crossings.

Having an understanding attorney by your side at this challenging time is utterly crucial. At Carlson Bier:

• We bring proven experience: Over two decades of successfully representing clients entangled in Pedestrian Accidents.

• We understand Personal Injury Law: Our team remains up-to-date with Illinois state rules adjustments and groundbreaking case verdicts.

• We fight aggressively for maximum compensation: From medical bills to future rehabilitation costs – ensuring you receive what you deserve is our ultimate objective.

An essential aspect of any pedestrian accident claim is proving negligence – determining fault legally. To win your claim:

– There must be proof that the defendant had a duty for care;

– It has to be established beyond reasonable doubt that they’ve breached said duty;

– You should demonstrate their breach caused your injuries;

– Lastly, provide evidence confirming those very injuries have led to financial losses directly.

Our experienced attorneys will guide you through each step conscientiously so all aspects are covered exhaustively – neither stress nor anxiety would hold us back from delivering justice deservedly.

The recovery timeframe following pedestrian accidents varies widely based on the nature and severity of direct injuries. Emotional pain may consume victims far longer than physical wounds heal – yet both situations deserve fair recognition. At Carlson Bier, our job is to prosecute these personal injury cases aggressively and ensure that justice is served.

We do not overlook any damages you may be entitled to, which can consist of medical bills – both present and future, lost wages due to inability to work or decrease in earning capacity, rehabilitation costs regarding physical therapy or counseling needs, and compensation for loss of enjoyment resultant from life-altering injuries. For emotional shock post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety – our team at Carlson Bier places similar importance as we would with physical harms; just another testament to our comprehensive understanding and hands-on approach.

Furthermore, it’s integral that the expenses taken into account when calculating potential settlements aren’t merely restricted within these parameters; non-economic variables such as grief allied with suffering or lifestyle modifications necessitated by your injuries are also included. This thoroughness guarantees maximum prospective compensation for victims tangled in pedestrian accidents by delivering comprehensive personalized service deserving of their plight.

Remember – time plays a crucial role during this process. Illinois law stipulates a time frame wherein an injured party may file a lawsuit after sustaining personal injuries (commonly called ‘Statute Of Limitations’) subject to circumstances surrounding the accident explicitly. Understandably, anxiety related to legal matters isn’t something you need hence our team continuously puts forth absolute efforts ensuring all relevant deadlines are adhered suitably advancing your cause effectively – one less worry on your already overloaded plate!

While based in Illinois, Carlson Bier holds clients’ welfare at the apex of its priorities steadfastly aiming for paramount results. Despite the struggles faced following tragedy onset like pedestrian_accidents’, we’d strive relentlessly affirming suitable peace presence back within your life prominently demonstrating our unwavering commitment towards cause representation most earnestly through actions rather than mere assurances!

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.
