About Carlson Bier

Burn Injuries Lawyers in Long Creek Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we are dedicated to serving the victims of burn injuries with tireless representation and informed counsel. Burn injuries can often be among the most devastating types of personal injury due to their physical, emotional, and financial implications. As personal injury attorneys based out of Illinois, our primary objective is to help burn injury victims navigate these difficult times with expert guidance and powerful advocacy.

Burn injuries can occur due to various factors; they typically fall under categories such as electrical burns, chemical burns, thermal burns, or radiation burns. Each type carries its own set of complications and requires specific medical treatments. Regardless of the source or severity, all burns potentially lead to drastic changes in a victim’s life – right from excruciating pain and extended hospital stays to costly rehabilitation sessions.

• Electrical Burns: These stem from contact with an electric current which can cause severe internal injuries.

• Chemical Burns: Often resulting from industrial hazards or household substances.

• Thermal Burns: Typically caused by exposure to flames or steam contact.

• Radiation Burns: The rarest form but still possible through exposure during certain medical procedures.

But navigating this harsh reality shouldn’t be a journey you undertake alone. At Carlson Bier, we strongly believe that those responsible for your burn injuries should bear the brunt of any incurred costs – whether they relate directly to your treatment or surrounding circumstances like lost wages due to recovery periods.

We also understand how essential mental recovery is following such traumatising experiences. Our litigation strategy aims not just at rightful compensation but also towards ensuring you receive resources required for psychological counseling if needed

As informed advocates who respect Illinois law’s principles,settlement laws feature prominently in our strategic approach towards securing what is rightfully yours. Such lawsuits include damage awards that compensate victims for quantifiable expenses like medical bills alongside less tangible damages relating more abstractly towards ‘pain and suffering’.

Our team possesses significant experience working despite complexities posed by extensive tort reform measures passed within Illinois over recent years. Among these, damage cap laws have raised considerable discussion concerning their potential effect on personal injury victims – some argue they make it exceedingly difficult for victims to receive adequate compensation.

While recognizing these conversational currents form an important aspect of representing clients effectively, rest assured that Carlson Bier’s dedication towards its clients remains immovable against any legislative tide change. For us, your well-being always stands paramount – a sentiment transcending mere legal representation extending into heartfelt concern for every client we serve.

Investigating the cause of burn injuries with meticulous diligence forms an integral part of our work ethos. Recognizing potentially liable parties and holding them accountable becomes vitally important when pursuing claims in civil court. This accountability extends beyond merely identifying direct causes (like faulty equipment or negligent behavior). It touches upon exploring possibilities wherein other entities bear indirect responsibility—everything from questioning maintenance routines for machinery implicated in causing burns to auditing safety practices adopted by employers.

At Carlson Bier, our commitment lies in upholding your rights and ensuring justice prevails amidst adversity. With extensive knowledge spanning across various realms related to personal injury law alongside unwavering dedication towards those we represent, our team emerges as a robust pillar of support during harrowing times following burn injuries.

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.
