About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Tolono Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we’re a team of dedicated and efficient personal injury lawyers based in Illinois who offer unmatched expertise in the numerous ramifications surrounding pedestrian accidents. Our years of experience dealing with various facets of personal law amplify our deep-rooted commitment to our clients, offering comprehensive legal assistance that is second to none.

In the unfortunate event where you or a loved one falls victim to a pedestrian accident, there’s an abundance of emotional and physical trauma that comes along with it – financial burdens shouldn’t be one. That’s why it’s essential to engage a knowledgeable attorney who can guide you through the complex process of claiming compensation.

Drawing on extensive knowledge and learning from real cases, we provide honest counsel and representation for victims suffering from injuries due to pedestrian accidents. Our aim goes beyond fighting for your rightful claims; we strive to educate every client about pedestrians’ rights on the road accorded by Illinois law.

Before delving into the intricacies of your case, let’s look at some key fundamentals:

• Pedestrian laws: These protect individuals walking on roadsides, crosswalks & sidewalks.

• Types of drivers’ negligence: Speeding, distracted driving or failure to yield are factors leading to collisions.

• Claim assessment: The type and severity of injury significantly impact how much compensation can be recovered.

It’s important to remember that while these gross violations lead to severe repercussions for motorists under Illinois traffic law enforcement agencies, pursuing personal injury claims can often prove challenging without professional help.

At Carlson Bier, our legally sound strategies ensue from practice perfected over several years handling diverse cases. We believe in putting vast amounts of time into thoroughly understanding your situation before proceeding further. From gathering supporting documents such as individual statements, official reports & medical records – our relentless pursuit leaves no stone unturned

Knowing who was responsible for your accident isn’t always easy – whether it’s an errant driver or flouted safety measures that started a chain reaction leading up to the accident. Working as a team with you, we will piece together the incident from eyewitness accounts, and other compelling evidence. We’ll ensure all liable parties are held accountable for their actions and negligence under Illinois law.

We realize that getting back on your feet physically, emotionally, and financially post-accident can be draining. But remember – filing a lawsuit is time sensitive due to strict statutes of limitation in Illinois. Therefore, it’s crucial to contact an experienced attorney sooner rather than later.

Particularly focusing on pedestrian accidents within personal injury law allows Carlson Bier to offer specialized assistance clients won’t find elsewhere. Each pedestrian claim quintessentially presents different ground facts dealing with varied elements such as liability basis, damage caps & available insurances.

Every victim deserves legal representation that offers more than just courtroom action; they need compassionate support throughout this challenging journey. We pride ourselves on our ability to provide both unabatedly at Carlson Bier – where victims don’t just become cases but valued partners whose concerns matter immensely.

Through this detailed educational content about Pedestrian Accidents, we believe you’re better informed now on how the entire process works in Illinois – right from understanding key concepts through claiming rightful compensations via choosing suitable legal representation from dedicated attorneys like us at Carlson Bier.

Equipped with this knowledge, perhaps there remains one question – how much exactly is your case worth? And while it involves several factors playing instrumental roles making every situation unique in its own way – let us help determine the most accurate estimate suited specifically for you using our skill set honed over countless successful negotiations & trials.

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.
