About Carlson Bier

Burn Injuries Lawyers in Glasford Illinois

Burn injuries are among the most traumatic and life-altering events any person can experience. At Carlson Bier, we understand the immense physical pain and emotional suffering associated with such unfortunate circumstances. Our team of dedicated personal injury attorneys specializes in litigating cases in Illinois involving serious burn injuries, providing our clients with unrivaled legal representation to ensure they receive deserved compensation.

Burn injuries vary in severity – from minor first-degree burns to devastating fourth-degree burns that significantly impair a victim’s quality of life. Knowing the type of burn injury you have sustained is essential as it directly correlates with both immediate medical attention and long-term implications:

• First-Degree Burns cause damage only to the outer layer of skin – they typically heal on their own.

• Second-Degree Burns extend beyond the top layer of skin, often leading to blistering, swelling, and scarring.

• Third-Degree Burns reach deeper layers of tissue and may cause nerve damage; these often require specialized medical procedures such as skin grafts.

• Fourth-Degree Burns penetrate deeply into muscles, tendons or bones. They cause irreversible damage requiring significant medical intervention.

Irrespective of its magnitude, every burn injury warrants proper medical treatment. In addition to immediate care like wound dressing or possible hospitalization, rehabilitation following severe burns may also include ongoing pain management therapies, cosmetic surgeries for scar reduction or elimination, psychosocial support for emotional traumas related to disfigurement or disability… causing endless financial burden and emotional distress on victims.

At Karlson Bier’s law office based right here in Illinois (not Glasford), we navigate these complexities efficiently serving as your trusted counselors at every step. Accidents leading to burn injuries often involve various liability factors: negligence due to failed safety measures at work sites; property owners being unaware or ignoring potential fire hazards; faulty electrical appliances or flammable substances mishandled by manufacturers/distributors… Every case demands meticulous examination allowing us to establish causation and liability effectively, bringing justice for our clients.

Combining years of experience with an in-depth understanding of Illinois-specific personal injury law, our skilled legal team at Karlson Bier assures thorough investigation and relentless pursuit of your case. We comprehend the intricacies associated with burn injuries be it identifying liable parties or evaluating lifelong costs encompassing medical expenses, loss of income and earning potential, pain and suffering among others.

One crucial aspect highlighting our work philosophy is keeping open lines of communication. We offer free initial consultation sessions where we review your case patiently while explaining potential legal procedures. Our lawyers keenly listen to your story addressing all queries ensuring you enter litigation fully informed about possible outcomes. Plus, Carlson Bier operates on a contingency fee basis meaning you pay only when you win — so there’s zero risk involved!

To understand the overall value any compensation package could provide involves more than just quantifying tangible losses like medical bills or lost wages; an experienced attorney can help count for intangible damages such as pain, suffering or emotional trauma faced by victim upon sustaining a burn injury.

Working with a seasoned personal injury attorney can truly make difference between settling for inadequate compensation versus obtaining full financial relief necessary to heal properly – physically and emotionally. Allow us to carry this burden for you so that you may focus completely on your recovery during these 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.
