About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in South Roxana Illinois

Navigating the aftermath of a pedestrian accident can be daunting and stressful. Soliciting expert legal counsel like that provided by Carlson Bier, an Illinois personal injury attorney group, is often necessary for individuals seeking fair compensation after these distressing events. Pedestrian accidents unfold quickly but the trail of physical injuries, emotional turbulence, litigation complexities, and financial instability left behind can linger on.

When a motor vehicle collides with a pedestrian, harm caused is usually severe due to the vulnerability of the individual sans any protective shield. Commonly sustained injuries in such accidents include – traumatic brain injuries (TBI), broken bones or fractures, back & spinal cord injuries, internal organ damage and psychological trauma.

Laws governing pedestrian accidents aim at assigning responsibility for an accident to either motorists or pedestrians based on principles of negligence. The duty of drivers includes maintaining speeds according to different zones like school areas or residential neighbourhoods; keeping vigilance for potential hazards; extending extreme caution in adverse weather conditions or compromised visibility circumstances etc. Whereas pedestrians are expected to use sidewalks and crosswalks wherever available besides observing traffic signals and not encroaching upon roadways abruptly without warning.

The detailed nature of pedestrian laws crystallises fault determination into an intricate process demanding adept stipulations interpretation capabilities resulting from years of unlawful practice engagement which Carlson Bier excels at. This law firm’s proven track record in fighting tenaciously for victims’ rights while investigating each case genuinely makes it one formidable ally against insurance companies who aim at devaluing claims through questionable means.

Legal recourse after a pedestrian accident involves several distinct phases such as filing your claim promptly within Illinois’ statute limitations window i.e., generally two years post-incident for personal injury cases; gathering compelling evidence that vividly proves driver’s negligent behaviour resulted directly in your harm followed by negotiating settlement offerings vigorously yet practically along with preparing sound strategies simultaneously if trial resolution becomes unavoidable. Carlson Bier’s professional involvement ensures meticulous handling of these critical steps for optimizing claim outcomes.

Compelling elements underpinning eligibility for damage recovery encapsulate current and future medical expenses, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, physical pain & suffering besides psychological distress along with other losses demonstrated as directly arising from the incident. Calculation of these damages relays on complex methodologies which Carlson Bier’s team adeptly manages to avoid any potential undervalue traps.

Furthermore, it is integral to consult seasoned legal professionals like Carlson Bier due to intricacies involved in determining comparative negligence—a common defense used by at-fault party’s insurance provider that implies your partial liability which could dramatically affect your compensation. We vigilantly counter such tactics upholding clients’ best interests persistently.

Empowered by a profound domain experience steeped over years in Illinois law along with outstanding negotiation and litigation skills Carlson Bier exemplify dedication towards their client’s cause vehemently advocating fair settlements ensuring rightful justice.

Your right to safety as a pedestrian shouldn’t be compromised by negligent drivers—brace yourself with knowledge about pedestrian accident-related laws and arm today itself with Carlson Bier’s representation because we believe standing up against injustice begins from getting informed committed support.

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)

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.
