About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Tuscola Illinois

Pedestrian accidents are an unfortunate and all too common occurrence in Illinois. As a recognized law firm, Carlson Bier offers exceptional legal services to those affected by pedestrian-involved incidents. Our knowledge of personal injury law is deep-rooted, guiding countless clients both familiar and unfamiliar with the system through their often traumatic time. We possess a solid understanding of these complex cases and how local laws apply.

In each case we handle, our focus always remains on ensuring that your rights as an accident victim are protected from start to end. Fully aware that each incident can present its unique characteristics, our attorneys customize strategy for every client they serve around two principles: legal excellence and compassionate representation.

One key factor to consider in pedestrian accidents is determining liability – who was at fault? Understanding this aspect reveals whose negligence led to the accident; whether the driver failed observing road rules or perhaps a third-party was involved by creating unsafe driving conditions.

It’s critical here not only identifying who caused the accident but also controversially proving it in court hence preserving your right for claiming compensation.

The value of economic damages is another fundamental area which entails medical expenses incurred during treatment process or any other future costs associated with recovering from injuries sustained during accident such as surgeries or physical therapy sessions if needed.

Furthermore, non-economic damages – emotional trauma undergone after an accident – for instance pain and suffering which might affect individual’s life including their ability to work efficiently can’t be overlooked as well.

Understanding one’s primary objectives also takes precedence while approaching Pedestrian Accident cases; whereas some wish for swift arrangements others opt for getting maximum possible compensation their predicament warrants regardless of timeline implications involved.

Ensuring coordination among different insurance companies sometimes could pose severe challenges with delays leading towards stress escalation more so if there exists multiple policies relating to same case proving tricky especially when assembling facts together without knowing specific nuances about rights offered under different coverage amounts.

Apart from having sound knowledge on navigating all these aspects, seeking help from professional lawyers like us instead of dealing with them individually can lead to favorable results.

Modeled around a client-focused premise and expertise in personal injury law, we strive to make this as easy as possible. Our seasoned attorneys can take over communications with insurance providers, ensure crucial paperwork gets timely submission, and counsel during negotiations for amicably resolving dispute without necessarily going into long drawn out court proceedings.

Another critical area our team assist is when it comes handling trial work especially when negotiations fail to provide satisfactory settlement solutions proposed by either party involved thereby setting stage towards ending up in trial.

With that said, remember every accident is unique; hence specifics surrounding each case could significantly dictate potential recovery route pursued along with anticipated outcome achievable varying on circumstantial evidence’s intrinsic strength presentable before jury.

However vast our experience or superb record of accomplishment might be, it’s essential remembering that prior outcomes never guarantee future performances per se regarding any fresh mandates coming way because numerous factors contribute towards achieving desired success levels aimed at including implementing strategic elements customized fitting within the peculiar criteria exhibited uniquely matching individual circumstances transpired noteworthy pondering meticulously over refining calibrated legal strategies assisting us becoming better suited combating challenges headlong thrown from adversaries front looking forward meeting high-end objectives aptly synced with desires voiced out clearly understood enveloping clients interests shielded first above embarking upon any further step decided executed accordingly delivering meaningful achievements worth celebrating together as partners engaged harmoniously working tirelessly building strong bonding ties mutually beneficial carving memorable moments cherished lifelong embodied through fruitful culmination visible over satisfying smiles appearing reassuringly hopefully inviting another successful attempt pulled off remarkably well again.

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.
