About Carlson Bier

Burn Injuries Lawyers in Lansing Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we are dedicated to serving as relentless advocates for victims of burn injuries in Illinois. Burn injuries can induce immense physical and emotional pain, with the potential of ruinous financial consequences due to medical expenses and lost income. Our expert legal team understands these complex realities and is committed to pursuing comprehensive compensation on behalf of every client that we represent.

Burn injuries occur from numerous sources – thermal burns from heat or fire, chemical burns resulting from harmful substances, electrical burns due to high voltage electricity, radiation burns resulting from excessive exposure to ultraviolet light rays or other forms of radiation. Each type comes with unique challenges concerning both medical treatment and legal reparation.

• Thermal Burns: Often cause damage not only to the skin but may also affect the deeper tissues depending on the severity.

• Chemical Burns: These can continue damaging tissue even after initial contact until deactivated – leading potentially severe complications if not treated promptly.

• Electrical Burns: They often result in injury invisible on the surface but cause extensive internal damage.

• Radiation Burns: Unique in nature; they aren’t always immediately apparent yet pose serious long-term health risks.

Understanding these distinctions underscores our approach at Carlson Bier – tailoring our legal counsel according to each client’s unique situation. We aim to demystify this complex litigation process by educating clients about their rights under Illinois law allowing them equally informed participation throughout their case proceedings.

Accordingly, we enlist a multi-tiered methodology, beginning with an exhaustive assessment of your case. This thorough evaluation helps determine liability – identifying responsible parties like manufacturers involved in product malfunction cases or negligent safety regulation violations committed by employers etc., vital for achieving maximum reparation legally possible. Additionally, through meticulous investigations into the accident scene or incident area alongside obtaining professional medical evaluations referencing future care costs respondents might impose upon claimants – our team ensures all viable damages are considered while negotiating settlement amounts.

Following this preliminary groundwork begins advocacy in earnest—actively representing you in all interactions with insurers who, more often than not, aim to minimize payouts. We ensure these entities pay heed to the full spectrum of your suffering – physical pain and discomfort, emotional trauma as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), financial hardships due to medical bills, rehabilitation costs, property damage and loss of income. Our commitment doesn’t waver until we secure a fair settlement or award.

At Carlson Bier, it’s our assurance that clients won’t have to bear any upfront costs nor worry about legal fees until a successful outcome materializes. We stand behind our abilities by working on contingency – meaning if we don’t win your case, you owe us nothing. It’s part of our faith in making justice collectively accessible.

You deserve support during this challenging time – both medically as well as legally speaking, letting you focus on healing while we navigate through this complicated legal path towards obtaining rightful compensation for you. Consequently urging those affected by burn injuries not to delay seeking immediate professional advice; because while recovery may seem daunting right now – with each passing day statutes limitation can prohibit future lawsuits from taking place.

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.
