About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Tilton Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we bring to bear a wealth of expertise and commitment when it comes to representing clients in pedestrian accident cases. As personal injury attorneys based in Illinois, our primary aim is to support victims regain control of their lives following an unfortunate incident while ensuring they obtain the full compensation they deserve.

Pedestrian accidents are sadly commonplace and can leave victims grappling with serious injuries or worse, death. Given the relative vulnerability of pedestrians compared to motorists, even a minor mishap can lead to severe life-altering consequences. These may include broken bones, spinal cord damages, traumatic brain injuries among others that usually necessitate extensive medical treatments and rehabilitation processes.

A vital factor when pursuing a pedestrian accident case hovers around proving liability which stipulates demonstrating how the negligent party’s recklessness led directly to the victim’s injury. At Carlson Bier, our expert attorneys draw upon their vast experience and comprehensive understanding of Illinois laws as well as traffic rules across municipalities to do just this.

• We scrutinize evidence from police reports or any potential surveillance footage.

• We liaise persistently with insurance companies on behalf of our client

• We work jointly with trauma doctors or health professionals who can provide valuable insights into your long-term prognosis.

Just like every other state, recognizing how fault is determined under Illinois law becomes all-important for achieving success in such cases. Here’s where intricate concepts related to negligence come into play along with considerations on whether contributory negligence was involved. Simply put: Was the pedestrian partly at fault? Or was it entirely due to the motorist’s disregard for traffic regulations?

It goes without saying that establishing liability often translates into a complex legal endeavor demanding high levels of expertise and thoroughness – qualities inherently imbued within each one of us here at Carlson Bier.

Equally significant is understanding damages encapsulating both economic aspects such as medical bills or loss of employment and non-economic repercussions like pain & suffering or emotional distress. We approach this stage after careful deliberation helping our clients to assess a realistic settlement that aptly encompasses every facet of the aftermath.

Our commitment, while unrelenting, does not stop merely with securing compensation for current medical bills or lost wages. Often pedestrians who are victims may require ongoing medical care or long term therapy sessions leading to circumstances where income potential might see substantial reduction. Therefore developing a damages claim underpinned by foresight becomes exceedingly important, and we ensure this happens providing you the relief needed in such taxing times.

So what next? At Carlson Bier, these steps outlined will only be deemed as effective once we relentlessly negotiate with insurance companies, ensuring they align their policies correctly compensating for your losses which quite naturally must include future costs incurred due to injury-related complications.

As renowned personal injury attorneys situated in Illinois, at Carlson Bier we firmly grasp that dealing with setbacks ensuing from pedestrian accidents can stir up feelings of great uncertainty and stress. This understanding permeates through our varied legal services allowing us to treat each case uniquely forging a personalized pathway towards recovery with compassion & empathy guiding the way throughout.

We hope now you’ve gained critical insight into tackling pedestrian accident cases — A glimpse into our unwavering commitment behind handling these intricate matters effectively and empathetically is indeed indispensable knowledge serving practical purpose should unfortunate odds demand it.

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)
Liability insurer brought action against insureds for a declaratory judgment based on failure to provide timely notice of lawsuits against them. The Circuit Court, Cook County, Stephen A. Schiller, J., entered judgment for the insurer. Insureds appealed. The Appellate Court, Wolfson, J., 358 Ill.App.3d 880, 295 Ill.Dec. 665, 833 N.E.2d 871, affirmed. 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.
