About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Tilden Illinois

Specifically, our firm has excelled in providing legal support to pedestrians impacted by vehicular accidents. Each attorney from our Illinois-based law firm stays abreast of the trends and changes in this area of personal injury litigation, ensuring we remain at the forefront of these complex cases.

A pedestrian accident invariably brings significant turmoil, with severe potential consequences. Physical injuries might involve mild scrapes or bone fractures but may progress towards traumatic brain damage or spinal cord trauma. Emotional distress can torment individuals long after physical wounds have healed. These incidents can also lead to economic destabilization from medical bills and loss of income.

•Always understand that even minor injuries might result in costly medical expenses.

•Emotional trauma is as valid a damage claim as visible physical harm.

•An incident’s financial impact extends beyond immediate hospital bills.

It’s crucial then to recognize your rights and possible compensations when you’re embroiled in such unfortunate circumstances. In summering pedestrian rights; foremost amongst them is the right-of-way wherein drivers must yield to pedestrians crossing streets within crosswalks. Furthermore, where sidewalks aren’t present, pedestrians may walk along the far edges of roadways – again drivers must yield.

These rules emphasize that drivers bear considerable responsibility towards pedestrian safety. When they fail in their duty causing an accident resulting from negligence or reckless conduct like speeding, texting while driving etc., they are held accountable under Illinois’ Personal Injury Laws.

Notwithstanding these statewide regulations protecting pedestrians:

•Negligent behaviors include but are not restricted to distracted driving or ignoring traffic signals.

•Knowingly engaging in risky actions behind the wheel constitutes reckless conduct.

We ensure diligent representation for walking accidents so you don’t have to navigate through legal intricacies during challenging times. Our adept attorneys will meticulously gather evidence demonstrating liability – be it from surveillance footage, eyewitness testimonies, accident reports amongst others. This unequivocal representation of facts bolsters your claim, maximizing your chances for favorable verdicts or settlements.

Going beyond establishing the liable party’s fault:

• Proving negligence is turned squarely onto the alleged culprit.

• Comprehensive evidence compilation strengthens your position.

Given Carlson Bier’s vast expertise in pension accident law, we are primed to help you receive deserved compensation for medical costs past and future, lost wages, pain and suffering or any stigmatization attached to disfigurements caused by a vehicle incident. We understand that certain cases extend into representing bereaved families filing wrongful death claims tied with pedestrian accidents. Rest assured; our compassionate attorneys stand ready to guide you every step of the way towards fair resolution.

Emphasizing what might comprise potential compensations:

• This includes but isn’t restrictive towards forthcoming medical expenses you may incur related to the accident.

• Representing families seeking justice post-perished family member is within our purview 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.

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. 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)
