About Carlson Bier

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Homer Glen Illinois

At Carlson Bier, a premier personal injury law firm based in Illinois, we are keenly aware of the issues often involved in pedestrian accidents. Our team has vast knowledge and expertise in this specialized area of practice. Pedestrian accidents typically involve motor vehicles colliding with individuals walking on the road or sidewalk. The results can be catastrophic—ranging from minor injuries to severe ones such as broken bones, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries or even death.

Pedestrian safety should be a universal concern; yet every year, many residents of Illinois face the upsetting reality of serious pedestrian-related mishaps. This is why it’s important for you to know your rights if you or someone you love becomes involved in such an incident. At Carlson Bier, we believe passionately in advocating for victims who have suffered due to someone else’s negligence.

• The duty of care: Motor vehicle drivers have a legal obligation known as “duty of care”. They must observe traffic rules and laws designed to protect pedestrians’ lives and prevent preventable harm.

• Proving liability: Establishing the culpability of a driver demands meticulous investigation and collection of substantial evidence like surveillance footage, witness testimonies, and accident reports.

• Understanding comparative negligence: Illinois follows “comparative fault” rule that means if an injured party shared any degree of responsibility for their own injury, it could affect the compensation.

At Carlson Bier we employ our extensive experience and industry-leading tactics to help clients through these intricacies ensuring they receive full eligible compensation under the law.

Securing sufficient recovery after a pedestrian accident may seem daunting but at Carlson Bier it’s just what we do best. We thoroughly evaluate each case considering actual medical expenses incurred so far alongside projected future costs arising from long-term care rangetments or ongoing treatments necessary for optimal recuperation.

We also factor in damages classified as “non-economic” – pain/suffering endured because of the accident, mental anguish and reduced quality of life. When loss of life occurs due to a pedestrian accident, our wrongful death attorneys are poised to seek maximum compensation for surviving family members.

Why choose Carlson Bier?

• Unrivaled Expertise: We provide unparalleled experience in handling personal injury cases specifically related to pedestrian accidents.

• Resolute Advocacy: We negotiate assertively with insurance companies ensuring the full extent of damages are covered.

• No Win-No Fee Policy: Our legal services adopt a contingency fee model i.e., we only receive payment if we win your case.

• Regular Communication: We ensure clients stay updated about their case developments and sharpen their understanding of complex legal aspects involved.

Choosing the right legal representative is integral when dealing with pedestrian accident claims. Let Carlson Bier be your champion during such challenging times—the skilled ally you can trust to pursue justice on your behalf relentlessly.

Remember, Illinois law has designed its statute of limitations around these types of injuries and there’s a finite window within which you can file your claim. Delaying may risk losing out on potential compensation entirely so it’s always advisable to act quickly after any accident or harm occurs.

In an ideal world, nobody would have to contend with something as disruptive as a pedestrian accident. But should one occur whether due to distraction, impaired driving, excessive speed or pure negligence—know that we stand ready at Carlson Bier – committed not only towards attaining rightful compensation but also restoring peace in our clients’ lives post-incident bridge back normalcy.

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.
