About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Thomasboro Illinois

Welcome to the distinguished law firm of Carlson Bier, your premier personal injury attorneys in Illinois. Our dedication takes root in representing those who are victims of pedestrian accidents—shedding light on their rights, explaining potential outcomes, and detailing how our aggressive representation ensures their voices echo within the justice system.

Pedestrian accidents occur when an individual on foot is hit by a vehicle such as a car, motorcycle, or bicycle. The effects can be not only traumatically physical but also psychologically damaging; from broken bones and traumatic brain injuries to paralysis or even loss of life, all culminating in significant emotional distress.

At Carlson Bier, we tirelessly fight for just compensation reflecting the severity of injuries suffered by our clients due to negligent drivers’ actions. Factors considered include:

* Medical Expenses: Immediate medical treatment costs alongside projected future bills related to your accident.

* Lost Wages: Any potential income lost during recovery period or incapability after returning to work.

* Pain & Suffering: Non-economic damages involving mental/emotional anguish endured during and following incident.

* Repair/Replacement Costs: Compensation covering damaged properties like clothing or personal belongings at time of accident.

Navigating through legal realms can prove daunting for a layman – stacking paperwork into mountains you neither have the strength nor inclination to climb is where we come into play. We simplify legal jargon until it’s straightforward and digestible while embodying unswerving champions defending your cause with unmatched professionalism coupled with profound empathy. It’s our guiding principle that no victim should feel overburdened – emotionally, financially or otherwise – while striving for deserved justice.

Liability determination could warrant thorough investigations which encompass witness statements’ analyses among other factors unraveling intricate detail layers proving negligence. On many occasions, however unlikely it may seem initially, these cases unearth more than one liable party contributing towards fortifying claim validity before court hearings thus ensuring maximum compensation recovery.

Procrastination bears grim tidings in personal injury cases due to Illinois’ statute of limitations which stipulates a deadline for filing lawsuits; time hampers case merit. The quicker you initiate unraveling processes, the sooner you curtail accruing medical bills and lost wages conversations into actions set towards battling for your justice.

Although it’s crucial emphasizing Carlson Bier isn’t located explicitly in Thomasboro – misleading would contradict both our principles and governance adhered to by Illinois law – our physical presence remains unconfined. Our reach extended across various counties implies we aggressively represent anyone regardless of their location within the Illinois bounds.

Being pedestrian-specific injury attorneys, we understand intricacies governing these suits intricately meshed with subtleties unique only to such claims – unlike many law firms spreading resources thin over broad spectrum practice areas. Certainty exists that at any given moment, anyone contacting us will receive undivided attention their respective situations warrant.

The journey toward seeking compensation often aligns with an uphill trek filled with quick decisions demanding fast action cordially stopping at just settlements and fair verdicts doorsteps as deserved- battles worth fighting not just because they’re hard but acknowledging winning them are what makes life easier afterwards too.

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.
