About Carlson Bier

Burn Injuries Lawyers in Lyndon Illinois

Understanding the impact and ramifications of burn injuries can be a daunting task. As Carlson Bier, we recognize this challenge and are dedicated to providing you with comprehensive information that will guide you through this traumatic experience. Our commitment is rooted in our desire to use our legal expertise in personal injury law for the benefit of Illinois residents who have suffered burn injuries.

Burn injuries are one of the most devastating traumas an individual could undergo. They range from first-degree burns which affect only the skin’s top layer, second-degree burns injuring both the outer and underlying layer of skin, third-degree burns damaging all layers of skin potentially reaching into organs, to fourth degree burns affecting deep tissues like muscle or bone. These types of injuries hold not just physical pain but also significant distress emotionally and mentally. Please know that at Carlson Bier, we understand your suffering goes beyond physical ailments; it touches every aspect of your life, leaving no fragment unscathed.

Recovery from such severe wounds often includes enduring painful treatments, lengthy hospital stays, possible surgeries, and extensive rehabilitation processes — not to mention astronomical medical bills and lost income. The aftermath can easily extend to psychological trauma as well; flashbacks or nightmares related to accident circumstance – these are undeniably burdensome outcomes pushing victims towards financial strain and mental anguish alike.

The good news? You don’t need to face this tribulation alone: At Carlson Bier Personal Injury Attorney Group we specialize in representing victims of burn accidents. We champion their rightful claims for compensation against negligent parties responsible for their plight.

• Carlson Bier ensures a rigorous investigation into each case.

• We fight for maximum recovery on medical expenses – including future treatment costs

• In situations marked by wrongful death due to severe burn injuries – securing loss-of-life damages become paramount in our battle.

• Compensation for lost wages – earning capacity included

• Restitution for emotional distress

At stake here isn’t merely getting compensated for the face value of obvious losses; it’s about demanding justice and reparations — monetary and moral — that reflect legacies permanently altered, dreams indefinitely deferred, lives needlessly embrittled. This fight is not something you should do without experienced legal help!

While every case differs considerably in its specifics, our extensive knowledge of Illinois law equips us with the ability to construct a robust case tailored to your individual needs. We will diligently advocate on your behalf from start to finish.

As burn injury lawsuit navigators in Illinois, Carlson Bier offers a deep-diving approach; we sieve through paperwork burdened by legal jargon translating into understandable terms while asserting continuous communication throughout our representation — demonstrating unwavering dedication towards your journey of recovery and restitution.

And remember: Simply suffering an injury does not automatically qualify one for compensation. The injured party must prove another person or entity’s negligence caused the accident resulting in their burn injuries. Hence, having a trusted partner who knows the intricacies of personal injury law is integral in succeeding – just like the specialized team at Carlson Bier Personal Injury Attorney Group.

Thus we invite you today to trust us with your circumstances – lean onto our expertise so you can focus on healing, rehabilitation and rediscovering hope amid adversity.

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.
