About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Troy Illinois

In the bustling state of Illinois, pedestrian accidents unfortunately occur with more frequency than one might hope. At Carlson Bier, we specialize in personal injury law with a strong emphasis on cases that involve pedestrian accidents. We’re dedicated to providing valuable legal assistance and substantive counsel for victims of these unfortunate incidents.

Firstly, it’s crucial to understand what qualifies as a pedestrian accident legally speaking. Typically, an incident is categorized as such when someone walking or running is involved in an accident caused by an automobile or other motorized conveyance. This type of event can often lead to serious injuries – both physical and psychological – that demand immediate and comprehensive medical attention.

The nature of injuries sustained from pedestrian accidents varies greatly but some are recurrent:

– Fractures: These common consequences of traffic collisions include broken bones and severe sprains.

– Traumatic Brain Injury(TBI): A TBI can result from getting hit hard in the head by a vehicle’s windshield or any other blunt object during the collision.

– Spinal cord injuries: Impacts that result in spinal cord damage can potentially cause partial or total paralysis.

If you’ve been involved in a pedestrian accident, it is helpful to leverage your rights under Illinois law fully. For instance, know that according to state legislation:

– A positive step after an accident is filing a Police report which will serve as official documentation proving crucial details about the incident.

– The injured party has two years from the date of the incidence to file his claim (Statute Of Limitations)

– In case at-fault driver was uninsured/underinsured, you may still pursue compensation through your own insurance company via Uninsured Motorist Coverage(UM)

At Carlson Bier, we understand how taxing an unexpected injury can be on you and your loved ones – emotionally, physically and financially. Thus reducing your burdens by actualizing substantial financial recovery represents our primary objective.

We diligently work towards establishing fault, entirely navigating through insurance procedures, intricately valuing your claim based on past and future losses, and were necessitated, constructing a strong litigation.

Moreover, we know every case is different thereby requiring its unique approach. Our team of expert attorneys go above & beyond by conducting thorough investigations to help tailor the most effective strategy for you. Whatever the specific circumstances surrounding your pedestrian accident may be – distracted or drunk driving, speeding or reckless driving — rest assured our cumulative expertise suitably matches all these scenarios.

The aftermath of a pedestrian car accident can leave victims absorbed in extensive medical treatment & recovery leaving them little or no time to engage with legal complexities. We at Carlson Bier commit ourselves to guide you through this daunting process with empathy and tenacity while ensuring justice is served promptly.

Securing quality legal representation early creates a tremendous impact on the success of your claim as well as bringing much needed peace during challenging times. With an impressive track record espousing relentless diligence & integrity coupled with successful results for hundreds if not thousands of clients throughout Illinois, partnering with us ensures that you prematurely equip yourself against inevitable complexities which loom ahead.

The last thing any victim needs following an accident is struggling alone when dealing with insurance companies intent on under compensating them or brushing their claims aside completely. We stand ready to champion your rights aggressively until fair compensation paints you whole again.

Shouldering burdens during such unsettling times apart from dealing with physical discomfort is overwhelming and sadly unnecessary especially when competent services lay just around the corner. Hit that button below now!

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)

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.
