About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Saint Anne Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we are committed to protecting the rights of pedestrians who have been injured in accidents. We fully understand the disruption that a pedestrian injury can bring to your life – both physically and psychologically – not to mention the financial burdens added by medical treatments, rehabilitation needs, and possible property loss.

Our team of experienced personal injury attorneys in Illinois has vast knowledge and expertise to handle various types of pedestrian accident cases. These could range from hit-and-run incidents to situations where motorists failed to yield at crosswalks. If there’s one constant amid all these events, it’s this: Our commitment towards achieving justice for our clients knows no bounds.

Pedestrian accidents often occur due to several reasons such as speeding, distracted driving, failure to yield right-of-way at a crosswalk, drunk driving, or negligent behaviour of drivers among others. A pedestrian accident claim isn’t just about setting forth an allegation – it’s about validating injuries caused by a party’s negligence or reckless conduct.

To aid your understanding of its scope better:

* Pedestrian accidents involving motor vehicles may lead to serious physical injuries.

* The victims are entitled under law for damages including medical expenses and lost wages.

* In case of fatal pedestrian accidents attributable to another’s fault or negligence, it opens up an avenue for holding perpetrators accountable via wrongful death suits.

At Carlson Bier law firm based in Illinois, we offer more than just legal advice; we provide support throughout what might be one of your most challenging times. Through relentless effort and skilled negotiation approach with insurance companies, we strive hard on obtaining optimal settlements for our clients.

With us in your corner advocating for you and protecting your rights at every step along the way – from investigating the circumstances surrounding an incident through settlement negotiations or jury trial (as may apply) – you can focus on recovery while we worry about everything else.

We are well aware that each case is unique with distinct facts and variables, therefore we provide personalized attention to each client, focusing on unique aspects of your case strategy and ensuring you get the maximum compensation feasible.

Please remember that being a victim of a pedestrian accident does not necessarily grant direct entitlement to financial restitution – it is about demonstrating how the other party’s negligence led to your injuries. For instance, in Illinois – per Contributory Negligence laws – if a court finds you’re partially responsible for an accident (say 20%), the law correspondingly reduces the damages you’d be potentially awarded (by same 20%).

Moreover, a statute of limitations applies in Illinois regarding how long after an incident one can file legal claims – which makes immediate consultation with competent counsel essential post any pedestrian injury.

In pursuits involving justice and rightful reparations, our attorneys here at Carlson Bier stand ready to fight tooth and nail – committed unflinchingly towards securing everything our clients rightfully deserve!

If you’ve been injured in a pedestrian accident or lost someone due to another person’s recklessness or indolence, take your first step towards potential recompense right now! Feel free to click on the button below for us to help estimate what might be owed as per law pertaining exclusively towards your situation. Assurance herein emanates from experienced personal injury attorneys registered under Illinois laws; rest assured there are no baseless promises made irrespective of wherever you find yourself geographically within our greater Land of Lincoln!

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.
