About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Rochelle Illinois

At Carlson Bier, our top priority is equipping you with vital legal knowledge and representing you with the dedication your case deserves. As a respected personal injury law firm based in Illinois, we bring on deck seasoned attorneys knowledgeable in varied realms of personal injury law, including pedestrian accidents. This category of accidents often results in severe injuries due to the vulnerability of pedestrians when compared to motor vehicles’ masses.

Pedestrian accidents typically occur for several reasons—vehicles not yielding right-of-way at crosswalks, distracted driving or walking, speeding vehicles especially in populated areas, alcohol impairment (either by driver or pedestrian), and disregard for traffic regulations to name a few. Their aftermath could have profound impacts on injured persons and may lead to dire physical impairments or even death.

Any person involved in such an accident should understand their rights under Illinois law. An integral part of these rights is your entitlement to compensation if someone else’s negligence causes your accident. Potential damages can include hospital bills for treating immediate injuries sustained from the crash plus prospective medical costs for future therapy or cases where long-term care is required.

Aside from medical bills, compensations could cover tangible losses like lost earnings due to incapacitation from work along rehabilitation duration or earning capacity loss if one becomes permanently disabled and unable to maintain prior employment status. It also addresses intangible harms like pain and suffering endured as well as emotional distress caused by the accident event – all consequent effects that extend beyond immediate physical hurt.

While each pedestrian accident case contains unique elements hinging upon intricate transcriptions of relevant laws and facts which make them complex undertakings; it’s important not to fret about understanding this complexity but rather seek dedicated legal representation immediately after any such incident occurs.

Key benefits of having qualified representation include personalized services that cater specifically towards protecting your interest – perhaps most critically during interactions with insurers whose primary focus is minimizing payouts rather than accurately reflecting harm inflicted upon accident victims. A competent attorney also instrumental in understanding case value, case building through evidence collection around liability and damages aspects, along with negotiation or court representation – an overall approach that significantly improves chances to secure fair compensation.

Here at Carlson Bier, we are committed to offering such high-quality representation. Having considerable experience representing pedestrian accident victims gives us a keen understanding of these cases’ complexity and the importance of conducting thorough investigations promptly after incidents occur. Our team is readily available to assist you in navigating these complexities while promoting your best interests tirelessly.

Remember this crucial legal advice: if involved in a pedestrian accident, never sign any document without having a competent attorney review it first. Doing so could jeopardize your rights and potentially reduce damages you’re entitled to receive otherwise. Additionally, don’t delay seeking medical attention following the incident as early detection helps determine precise injuries extent which ultimately aids arguments for deserving maximum compensation when adequately demonstrated by qualified attorneys.

Taking on legal battles single-handedly can be daunting especially amidst dealing already with traumatic experiences and physical recovery necessitated after major accidents like pedestrian incidents. Trust Carlson Bier’s team of dedicated attorneys who’ve established their credibility via successful track record with previous clients who underwent similar circumstances is thus an informed choice to make towards achieving the justice you deserve!

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.
