About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Sandoval Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we understand that being involved in a pedestrian accident can be an incredibly traumatic and life-altering experience. Our Illinois-based personal injury attorneys specialize in helping victims navigate the often complex legal process required to seek justice and compensation for their injuries. As your dedicated legal advocate, our primary aim is to alleviate as much stress as possible while we tirelessly fight on your behalf.

Pedestrian accidents involve scenarios where someone walking or running outdoors is struck by a vehicle. This can happen due to various reasons such as distracted driving, failure to yield right of way at crosswalks, speeding or reckless driving, impaired driving due to alcohol or drugs, and even poor road conditions. The impact on the victim’s life may range from physical injuries like broken bones and traumatic brain injury to emotional trauma and lost wages due to long-term disability.

Some key things you must remember if you find yourself embroiled in a situation like this are:

– Seek immediate medical attention: Your health is paramount.

– Gather evidence: Take photos of the scene if you’re capable.

– Note down details: Record exactly what happened while it’s fresh in your mind.

– Report the accident: Inform law enforcement authorities so they can file an official report.

– Contact Carlson Bier: Engage us as soon as possible so we can start optimizing your case for success.

Naturally, any instance of bodily harm will result in medical bills – sometimes exceedingly high ones – but a pedestrian accident may bring additional financial burdens caused by ongoing treatment and rehabilitation programmes. If negligence was involved in causing the accident which led to serious injuries (or worse), wrongful death charges could also factor into potential damages awarded through litigation.

Be assured; pursuing rightful compensation after a pedestrian accident is not something you have to manage alone with already present worries about recovery – physical, emotional or monetary. The experienced and compassionate team at Carlson Bier will guide you every step of the way, from investigating your claim to negotiating with insurance companies all the way through trial if necessary. Our team has extensive experience and success in handling personal injury cases within Illinois.

Everyone should be able to walk safely without fear of being injured by a motor vehicle. Regrettably, many individuals continue to suffer injuries, some fatal, despite state laws that were created to protect pedestrians. Any individual who becomes the victim of such an accident should be aware that they could have grounds for making a legal claim against the negligent party responsible for their injuries.

Take it from us at Carlson Bier: you are not just another accident statistic – you deserve justice and compassion from those who have caused undue suffering in your life. It’s our firm belief that we can help make right what has gone wrong by applying our expertise and resources on your behalf.

Remember, every pedestrian accident case is unique just like every human involved in it contributing different factors and variables into play. Therefore each one must be analyzed meticulously so we don’t leave room for error or miss out on any details which could strengthen your case further; Carlson Bier ensures this thoroughness diligently.

In closing, we know how daunting this process may appear–but remember there is potentially much more within reach than simply covering your medical expenses after an accident. As an example, potential damages awarded due to pain and suffering could legally ensure financial stability while rehabilitation is underway or even ongoing costs required for long term care are sorted out ahead.

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)

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.
