About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Zeigler Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we understand that each pedestrian accident case holds a unique narrative accompanied by its own set of challenges and complications. Based in Illinois, our seasoned personal injury attorneys specialize in advocating for victims involved in such incidents, with the primary goal of providing personalized and effective legal assistance to achieve maximum compensation.

Pedestrian accidents typically occur due to negligence on the part of drivers or traffic control entities. Such instances encompass different scenarios including hit-and-run incidents, collisions at crosswalks, parking lot accidents, and more. The severity can range from minor injuries like broken bones or cuts to serious ones involving head trauma or spinal cord injuries.

To identify the culpability in these cases, various factors are scrutinized – whether there were distractions causing the driver to lose focus (like mobile phone use), disregard for traffic rules (speeding or refusing to yield right-of-way), impairment due to alcohol or drugs, lack of proper signage warning about pedestrians crossing areas, etc.

Understanding your rights is essential when navigating through the plexus of personal injury law following a pedestrian accident:

• Legal representation: You have not only the ability but also an absolute right to seek legal representation regardless of your immigration status.

• Right to file a lawsuit: If you believe your incident was caused by absent or improper signage on public property triggering dangers towards pedestrians.

• Compensation: Adequate monetary recompense covering medical costs linked with treatment/rehabilitation after suffering injuries; wage loss during recovery period; and other related damages like pain and suffering.

Our knowledgeable lawyers at Carlson Bier keep themselves acquainted with every nuance pertaining to Illinois’s pedestrian law landscape which constantly remains subject to alterations based on legislative changes and court rulings. This ensures meticulous preparation of all supporting documentation necessary for validating any claim put forth.

They will further conduct thorough investigations into your case; gathering evidence including photos/videos depicting scene of accident taken via cell-phones/dash-cams; witness testimonies; examining vehicles involved for possible defects suggesting manufacturer liability; analyzing police reports and medical files.

Then, they will diligently negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf. Insurers usually resort to denial of claims or offer meager settlements attempting to absolve themselves from the responsibility of proportionate compensation. Our lawyers’ in-depth comprehension of the intricacies involved allows them to build a solid case reflective of all related damages ensuring you receive an equitable settlement.

Enduring the aftermath of pedestrian accidents can undoubtedly be disconcerting as it not only places a tremendous burden on victims but also encompasses their families dealing with escalating medical bills, loss of income, and emotional distress. At Carlson Bier, we aid you through this process relieving your plight by providing unmitigated attention towards obtaining justice that you rightfully deserve.

The attorneys at our legal firm firmly believe in promoting public safety while combating negligence. In doing so, we hope that our unwavering commitment towards handling each case with utmost diligence would deter repeating such reckless behaviors in society hence protecting others from suffering similar consequences.

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.
