About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Tinley Park Illinois

Pedestrian accidents can leave victims with severe injuries, high medical bills and countless questions regarding their rights to seek compensation. The Carlson Bier law firm specializes in fighting for these innocent victims involved in pedestrian accidents across the state of Illinois. We understand the uncertainty that a victim suffers through after an accident and aim to help guide you smoothly throughout the legal process.

A pedestrian accident is any incident where an individual walking or running on foot is struck by a vehicle. This may include cars, buses, motorcycles and even bicycles. Despite strides towards greater safety measures, pedestrian crashes still occur far too frequently due to reasons including driver negligence, distracting driving practices like texting behind the wheel or environmental factors such as poor road conditions.

• Driver Negligence: Speeding, drunk driving, reckless driving and failing to yield at crosswalks are some instances that constitute negligence.

• Distracted Driving: Use of electronic communication devices while operating a motor vehicle often results in distracted drivers causing harm to unsuspecting pedestrians.

• Environmental Factors: Poorly designed intersections or roads, inadequate signage and unmarked crosswalks contribute significantly to pedestrian accidents.

If you’ve been involved in a pedestrian accident due to any above-mentioned reasons (or others) it is pivotal that you collect evidence from the scene if possible. This could involve photographs of your injuries, wreckage location, CCTV footage if available and details of eyewitnesses present during the occurrence of event. Upon gathering this vital information immediately consult with our experienced attorneys at Carlson Bier who can further guide you about your next steps based upon this evidence.

Carlson Bier aims at making its potential clients aware about various types of compensations entitled post suffering from a pedestrian accident:

1. Medical Expenses: Including hospital bills, therapy costs, prescription medicines etc.

2. Lost Wages: Accounted for missing days or inability to work following an injury.

3. Pain & Suffering: Non-tangible losses that translate into financial damages.

4. Other out-of-pocket expenses directly related to your injury.

Being equipped with proper knowledge and understanding about Illinois pedestrian accident laws, our team of competent trial lawyers works diligently towards acquiring maximum compensation for pain & suffering caused due to negligent driving practices.

Illinois follows a “shared fault” rule in personal injury cases which means that if you were found partially at fault for the accident, your award will be reduced by your percentage of blame. However, rest assured as Carlson Bier’s professional attorneys are very well accustomed to such legal complexities and strive their utmost so you receive what’s rightfully yours.

Personal Injury Laws of Illinois prescribe deadlines within which an injured pedestrian has to file a lawsuit against negligent party. This deadline also known as ‘Statute of limitations’ is generally 2 years from the date of occurrence but can vary depending upon certain circumstances or exceptions involved. It’s recommended to reach out for legal considerations sooner than later because delay beyond this allotted time might lose you potential access to court entirely.

We know dealing with aftermaths of a pedestrian accident alone can be quite distressing hence we lay significant emphasis on developing compassionate relationships with our clients while shielding them from additional stress enabling them focus solely on their recovery. We pride ourselves in rendering thorough attention each case deserves until successful closure pertaining fair justice served.

Quite simply, Carlson Bier doesn’t just fight for compensation after a pedestrian accident; we advocate for the larger purpose – putting an end to dangerous driving behaviors making roads safer across state lines – because eradicating these unsafe practices can transform accidents into avoidable incidents benefiting everyone around us.

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.
