About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Sandwich Illinois

Pedestrian accidents have unique complexities that require specialized and experienced legal representation. Carlson Bier, an established personal injury law firm based in Illinois, provides dedicated services focused on ensuring justice for victims of pedestrian accidents. Our experienced personal injury attorneys understand the life-changing consequences these unfortunate incidents can bring: significant medical bills, physical pain, emotional trauma, lost earnings, and impact on quality of life.

Investigation into a pedestrian accident is crucial to establishing liability or fault. Carlson Bier holds an impressive track record in meticulously investigating incidents to build a robust case for our clients. From surveillance footage review to witness interviews, our relentless pursuit of all investigative avenues helps make sure no vital detail is overlooked.

• Key aspects we initially consider are the nature of injuries sustained by the victim – these can be permanent disability or temporary impairment.

• The extent of emotional distress caused

• Losses due to absence from work

• Potential future costs related to healthcare or rehabilitative services

Armed with this comprehensive information, we fight relentlessly for maximum compensation you’re entitled to under Illinois law.

The state’s comparative negligence rule plays a critical role in pedestrian accidents as well. This principle means even if you were partly at fault for the accident; you might still receive some compensation proportionate to others’ culpability involved in the incident.

Navigating through complex traffic laws and regulations governing pedestrians’ rights can be challenging without expert guidance. Whether it’s understanding “Right-of-Way” laws or compliance with “crosswalk” rules – Carlson Bier stands with you at every step providing diligent counsel throughout your claim process journey.

Prioritizing transparent communication at every stage adds another dimension to our proficient service delivery model at Carlson Bier. Besides regularly updating clients about their case progressions, we also ensure they fully comprehend their rights and possible outcomes associated with various courses of action available.

It’s not only about fighting hard but also practicing smart advocacy that defines us at Carlson Bier. In-depth knowledge about insurance defense tactics and strategic negotiation skills have been instrumental in helping us secure favorable settlements for our clients, often without necessitating any court trials.

To underline our belief in delivering justice for accident victims irrespective of their financial situation, we follow the “No Win-No Fee” principle at Carlson Bier. Unless we are successful in recovering compensation for you, there is no legal fee or other charges levied.

Carlson Bier’s dedicated personal injury lawyers understand that each incident has a unique story behind it, hence deserves individual attention rather than a generic solution. We offer personalized consultation tailoring to your specific needs and circumstances arising from a pedestrian accident.

We greatly value our client relationships based on mutual trust and respect extending beyond mere professional interaction. Our compassionate approach towards understanding your predicament coupled with relentless advocacy has earned us the reputation of being dependable allies during challenging times.

As you navigate this difficult period following a pedestrian accident, know this: you don’t have to face it alone—we’re here to help.

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.
