At Carlson Bier, we champion the rights of pedestrians who have become disadvantaged due to accidents on Illinois roads. Our expertise lies in being a steadying presence during these times of distress and effectively navigating through the complexities of personal injury law. Pedestrian accidents often result in traumatic injuries that could fundamentally alter a person’s life experience, and our dedicated lawyers understand this intensely human aspect of our work.
Pedestrians are some of the most vulnerable road users – all it takes is one moment’s distraction or negligence from another party to drastically impact their lives. These accidents can occur under various circumstances including but not limited to reckless driving, failure to yield right-of-way at crosswalks, driving under influence or distracted driving. The ramifications for victims can range from minor physical injuries to debilitating conditions or tragically, fatal casualties.
In setting forth claims stemming from pedestrian accidents, understanding key regulations within Illinois law is crucial:
• According to Illinois Compiled Statutes Sec 625 5/11-1002, drivers must stop and yield at crosswalks when pedestrians are present, regardless if traffic control signals are inoperative or absent.
• As per Sec 625 5/11-1003.1, any driver involved in an accident that results in injury must report it.
• Under Sec 735 ILCS 5/2-1116(c), even if you were partially at fault for your accident; as long as your share of fault was less than 50%, you may still recover compensation.
The team at Carlson Bier is experienced in conducting thorough investigations into such instances – we leave no stone unturned while building compelling cases founded on concrete evidence. We aim for outcomes where our clients receive fair recompense commensurate with the extent of their suffering & loss; bringing together the subdued voices against those who wield power irresponsibly.
We prioritize open communication channels so that common misconceptions about personal injury cases can be clarified, like the ones below:
• You do not necessarily have to go to court – the majority of personal injury claims conclude via settlements.
• Personal injury cases are NOT always long-drawn and time-consuming. High-level negotiations can result in quick effective resolutions.
• The size of your compensation is not solely determined by the insurance policy limits. Additional sources of recovery may be available.
Understanding that costs could be a deterrent to seeking legal help, Carlson Bier follows an empathetic model where charges are on a ‘No win No fee’ basis – essentially reinforcing our philosophy that everyone deserves equal access to justice with no financial hurdles.
Navigating through tough times post accidents takes immense courage and resilience; this journey should never be undertaken alone – you need someone standing shoulder-to-shoulder with you. Allow Carlson Bier to handle the full scope of legalities while you prioritize healing and recuperation.
Your pedestrian accident claim might just be more valuable than what first estimates suggest, and we invite you to explore this further because it’s important for complexities associated with each individual case to be uncovered thoroughly before reaching conclusions about their potential worth. At Carlson Bier, we sincerely believe in informing clients fully so they understand their rights under Illinois law without getting overwhelmed by legal jargon or process complexities.
