About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Toledo Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we are your dedicated personal injury attorneys, providing expert legal representation for victims of pedestrian accidents in Illinois. With years of experience and an unwavering commitment to achieving justice for our clients, our firm has established a robust reputation as a trusted defender of the injured.

Pedestrian accidents most commonly occur when drivers fail to yield to walkers or engage in negligent practices such as speeding and texting while driving. The consequences often lead to severe injuries which involve substantial medical costs, emotional trauma, and potential loss of income due to time off work. These can include minor incidents such as cuts and bruises or major fallout like fractures, spinal injuries, traumatic brain injury (TBI), paralysis among others.

• Driver negligence is the leading cause of pedestrian accidents–this typically includes reckless or distracted driving.

• Injuries from these accidents range from minor physical damage up to serious life-altering conditions.

• Expenses resulting from these crashes can be immense covering healthcare costs plus loss of earnings due to incapacitation.

• An experienced lawyer by your side can help assert your rights and aid you in getting justified compensation

Carlson Bier’s team of expert personal injury lawyers specializes in securing proper compensation for accident victims. We understand that pedestrian-involved accidents don’t just affect the victim physically but also result in financial burdens and psychological distresses. Our goal lies not only in obtaining reparation for your immediate injuries but also future challenges and hardships that might arise because of such unfortunate events.

The law demands the driver at fault pays reparations —insurance companies often try their best efforts into minimizing their liability towards accidents; this means you could end up receiving much less than what you’re entitled without effective legal counsel representing your interests.

Navigating through insurance settlement discussions or court proceedings on your own may be overwhelming considering the situation’s complexities-you’d have high chances standing against tenacious defense attorneys always ready to dispute claims. Thus:

• Legal support ensures all your rights are protected throughout the process.

• Having an attorney simplifies the settlement negotiation phase enabling you to have someone knowledgeable on legal matters by your side.

• They will represent your best interests during such proceedings warding off any attempts to undermine or undervalue your claim.

Our lawyers at Carlson Bier boast broad understanding of Illinois laws; they meticulously dig deep to explore every detail concerning your situation making sure no potential source of compensation goes unnoticed. Informed by their comprehensive expertise in handling pedestrian accident cases, they break complex legal terminology into a language that’s easy for anyone to comprehend– helping you thoroughly understand your rights and how the law supports/protects victims like yourself.

Remember, seeking immediate professional advice after being involved in an unfortunate incident can make a remarkable difference in the outcome of your lawsuit —you increase chances obtaining maximum possible compensation for medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages (current/future), pain suffering as well as other forms of noneconomic damages applicable under recovery provisions of Illinois law.

No doubt coping with personal injuries from instances like pedestrian accidents can seem bewildering and daunting—especially when striving towards securing justified compensation against large insurance companies aiming only to protect their bottom line at all expense. However, know that you do not stand alone in this fight; our skilled attorneys at Carlson Bier are here just for you ensuring you receive full justice for caused harm through expert legal navigation.

Therefore:

• Engage us instantly after an accident happens– we’re always ready and willing to undertake prompt investigations even before evidence begins fading away/disappearing due to mishaps like passing time.

• Underscore viewing our clients beyond mere case numbers— each one represents actual people experiencing real hardships deserving respect empathy added onto effective representation.

At Carlson Bier, we strive forward grounded on principles surrounding success measured upon tangible results achieved only when reaching personalized service provision ensuring each client served is completely satisfied by our exceptional commitment towards justice attaining goals.

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.
