About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Wadsworth Illinois

At Carlson Bier, our team of dedicated personal injury attorneys serves Illinois with extensive expertise in handling pedestrian accident cases. These unfortunate incidents can cause significant harm and distress for the victims involved, leading to physical injuries alongside emotional trauma. With a broad understanding of Illinois civil law matched with unrivalled compassion for our clients’ predicaments, we stand ready to provide legal assistance that is both efficient and effective.

Alleviating your legal burden is paramount to us while you focus on reconstructing your life after such a traumatic incident. Pedestrian accidents often precipitate from various reasons: reckless driving, impaired visibility, vehicle malfunction and distraction due to mobile devices are but some examples.

Our team will work meticulously on gathering evidence and conducting thorough investigations. We aim at deciphering all possible contributory factors leading up to the accident for establishing liability. Here’s what we offer:

– Detailed examination of police reports,

– Consultation with experts when necessary,

– Review of medical records connected to injuries sustained,

– Determination of concurrent circumstances (weather conditions, presence of crosswalks etc.)

A successful claim would ideally cover all medical expenses accrued as a result of the injuries you have endured following a pedestrian accident – this includes cost towards future rehabilitation or ongoing healthcare needs if required. It could also compensate you for loss of income during recovery or if there’s been permanent damage causing disability restricting employment capacity.

We recognize how an overwhelming majority of pedestrian accidents have devastating consequences including countless hospital visits and recuperative treatments over time. This doesn’t even account for non-economic damages such as pain & suffering which profoundly impact quality-of-life for those affected and their loved ones alike.

Here’s what we intricately scrutinize when assessing damages enduring by victims:

– Nature & severity of physical injury

– Mental trauma resulting from the accident situation

– Losses related to earning capability owing to temporary/permanent disability

– Medical expenditure – present & projected future costs

Our commitment to diligent representation of your legal rights is unwavering. Carlson Bier’s expertise in pursuing pedestrian accident cases combined with our strategic approach towards insurance companies ensures that your claim will align with the fullest extent of your entitlement.

Pedestrian accidents are often harrowing experiences, both physically and emotionally. They can result in various forms of injury including, but not limited to head injuries, spinal damage, fractures or even loss of life at its extreme. The path to securing a rightful compensation feels challenging given these unfortunate circumstances; however, you shouldn’t have to bear this burden alone—legal recourse is available.

At Carlson Bier we’re committed on helping victims navigate through this complex process. Our meticulous case preparation combines attention-to-detail with paperwork efficiency ensuring a comprehensive provision covering every aspect – from accident liability determination till eventual all-inclusive capital recovery estimation.

Embarking on this route may feel overwhelming considering already prevalent distress as an aftermath. Therefore, it’s important for clients familiarizing themselves with potential procedural hurdles before entering into settlements or litigation:

– Determination of fault & liability

– Necessity for professional testimonies

– Proving negligence behind the occurrence

We realize that no financial compensation can truly represent justice for what you’ve been forced to endure due to someone else’s negligence; yet affording access to essential medical care and a sense of financial stability is beneficial while maintaining accountability within societal constructs.

With a reputation solidified by numerous successful case outcomes across Illinois (yet always local to wherever you might be), let Carlson Bier guide you along this precarious road soliciting maximum value compensation. Each guiding principle underscored within our firm aims consciously towards lessening difficulties associated during such trying times.

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.
