About Carlson Bier

Burn Injuries Lawyers in Lincolnshire Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we understand that a burn injury can change lives forever. As specialized personal injury attorneys with extensive experience in Illinois, we strive to provide precise and valuable information concerning the legal aspect of such injuries. Burn injuries occur more often than you may think, resulting not just from fire or flames but also from harmful chemicals, electricity, radiation, hot liquids (scalds), and heat objects.

Each type ranges in severity – First Degree burns affecting only the top layer of skin; Second Degree burns involve deeper layers; Third Degree burns often require skin grafting due to degeneration of entire skin layers; Fourth degree extends even further into muscle or bone with life-threatening consequences.

Immediate symptoms include redness and blistered skin while longer-term impacts can be physical disfigurement and emotional trauma. Our daily activities expose us to potential sources like cooking appliances or faulty wiring at home or workplace which calls for vigilance on your part. Sometimes though, these incidents are out of your hands— shifting the responsibility onto careless individuals, negligent landlords, manufacturers of defective products or employers overlooking safety protocols.

Key things to keep in mind when dealing with burn injuries:

• Burns are classified by depth — first-degree being most minor and fourth-degree involving deepest tissue damage.

• Sources vary from obvious heat/fire to less-obvious chemical reactions.

• The responsible party can differ depending upon circumstances; it could range from an individual party acting irresponsibly to corporate negligence.

• Treatments for severe burns often involve prolonged medical attention including surgeries and rehabilitation treatments.

Navigating through the complicated aftermath involves accounting for expensive medical bills coupled with lost wages due to inability to work. Emotional devastation aside, it is crucial to determine who bears liability in such instances. At Carlon Bier Attorneys Group we assess these complexities thoroughly on your behalf — our primary aim lies in restoring your life back as closely as possible towards pre-injury status through immediate action implicating liable parties.

Be it a resolute confrontation with vast insurance companies or kindling corporate accountability, our team enlists rigorously to ascertain your rights are upheld. Further aspects of battling such injuries blur into the realm of psychological hardship like PTSD; our network expands towards such counselors as well – part and parcel of comprehensive recovery is mental wellbeing.

Our clients, both past, and current stand testament to not merely financial compensation but an overall restoration of life quality. Nonetheless, statute limitations imply that you must act quickly — depending on specifics involved in each case, time for initiating legal action post-incident can be limited.

At Carlson Bier Attorneys Group we resonate through integrity. Our truth-forged reputation emanates from stringent upholding of Illinois laws—transparency being cornerstone values implying discretion over deceitful advertisements about non-existing offices across different cities to garner unwarranted attention. We speak through our dedication nurtured over years practicing law within the parameters set forth by ethical guidelines where client interest remains paramount.

So whether it’s medical bills boggling your sanity or seeking justice against responsible entities weighing heavy on your heart — remember, you needn’t shoulder this burden alone. Legal complexities can often shroud the clear path leading towards your rightful compensation for damage endured. Expert advice right at the tip of your fingers has never been easier.

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.
