About Carlson Bier

Burn Injuries Lawyers in Capron Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we are well versed in the complexities of personal injury law, and we focus specifically on burn injuries. As an established personal injury attorney group based in Illinois, our expertise lies in boiling down complex legal jargon to easily digestible information for our clients. We understand the devastating impact a burn injury can have on your life. Let us guide you into understanding more about the intricacies related to such cases.

Burn injuries are categorized under personal injury law due to their often catastrophic nature with severe repercussions physically, emotionally, and financially. They typically stem from negligence or accidents like domestic fires, car accidents, electrical mishaps, chemical spills, and work-related incidents.

• First-degree burns: These are superficial burns that only affect the outer layer skin (epidermis). Symptoms usually include redness and minor inflammation.

• Second-degree burns: More serious than first-degree burns as they extend beyond the epidermis to involve the dermis (second skin layer). This results in blisters and may cause skin grafting.

• Third degree burns: The most severe category where both epidermis and dermis layers are completely destroyed leading to damage of underlying tissues.

Understanding fully these classifications can help provide perspective on a case’s potential severity while determining necessary compensation.

Besides immediate physical trauma caused by burn injuries; infections, scarring disfigurement, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), long-term medical treatment modalities could crumble individuals financially without proper guidance. At this juncture comes our role at Carlson Bier. We strive hard for those reeling under such predicaments seeking rightful justice thereby lightening your burden through rightful representation.

As part of our client-centered approach at Carlson Bier Personal Injury Lawyers:

*We explain insurance policies pertaining to burn injuries ensuring coverage specifics’ comprehension.

*We offer insight into exploring avenues beyond insurance like pursuing claims against those responsible

*We rely on medical practitioners for pulling crucial evidence supporting a claims case

*We submit detailed demand letters encompassing all damages like physical, emotional and lost earnings.

*Lastly, we tap into our negotiation skills to maneuver an equitable settlement favoring our client.

Believe it or not, time plays a pivotal role in pursuing personal injury claims. We remind you of Illinois’s Statute of Limitations that imposes strict deadlines for personal injury lawsuits filing post-injury (typically within two years). Waiting too long negates your chance to seek lawful compensation. Hence every minute matters!

Since Carlson Bier Personal Injury Lawyers aims at lightening insurance claims burden from victims of life-altering burn injuries, it stands imperative on our part to gauge how much each individual claim holds worth.

Being aware of the vast legal landscape firsthand helps us align your specific case with the right legal strategy. Yet numerous factors determine this claimed worth which may include but not limited to pain duration inflicted due to neglect by someone else; the type and extent of treatment required; resulting inability to continue earning livelihood etc., can considerably impact compensation figures.

It takes you through determining potential worth based upon various key factors deemed necessary under legal jurisdictions here in Illinois. Please remember that no two cases are similar hence no standard textbook formulae exist for evaluation! Every case is as unique as its victim suffering those harsh burns unjustly that’s why reaching out early reaps fruitful benefits guiding you rightfully towards your deserved justice with competent representation bearing expert proficiency!

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)

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.
