About Carlson Bier

Burn Injuries Lawyers in Mexico Illinois

Carlson Bier is a prominent personal injury law firm in Illinois, specializing in handling complex cases related to burn injuries. Our team of dedicated and experienced lawyers work tirelessly in upholding clients’ rights while offering the best legal representation.

Burn injuries can be one of the most devastating types of injuries a person can endure. These types of damages often lead to severe physical discomfort, emotional trauma, and financial distress due to towering medical bills and loss of wages from being unable to work. At Carlson Bier, we fully understand this burden; hence, our goal is not only to secure justice but also to ensure that victims receive appropriate compensation for their losses.

• Burn Injuries: There are different types of burn injuries ranging from minor first-degree burns affecting only the skin’s outer layer to life-threatening fourth-degree burns damaging muscles and bones alike.

• Causes: Burns may result from various incidents such as fires, chemical exposure, scalds from hot water or steam, electrical accidents among others.

• Impact: The impact goes beyond physical pain; it could entail long-term hospitalization, reconstruction surgeries, rehabilitation therapies which subsequently bring about emotional stress and financial strain.

Without a savvy understanding of Illinois law combined with aggressive advocacy skills – both hallmarks of our attorneys at Carlson Bier – navigating through your claim process could be overwhelming. We are committed to fighting tooth-and-nail so that responsible parties are held accountable for their actions leading to these unfortunate circumstances.

Consequently, time becomes an essential factor in such scenarios. Though Illinois provides a two-year statute limitation for filing personal injury cases including those involving burn injuries – starting on the date when injury was sustained or otherwise discovered – prompt action helps preserve crucial evidence while enabling detailed investigation.

Compensation you may receive hinges significantly on the severity of your injury among other factors like current & future medical costs associated with treatments or care required due to your impairment, lost wages if you’re unable at present (or future) to work, pain & suffering, and in instances of severe negligence it may extend to punitive damages.

Your healing journey matters to us dearly so let us shoulder the legal burden. At Carlson Bier we confront insurance companies who persistently deny rightful claims or aim at minimizing payouts. Our attorneys leverage their extensive experience and knowledge while navigating a plethora of complex laws relevant to personal injury cases, thus shielding clients from potential pitfalls that could hurt their chances of success.

Don’t feel swindled into settling for an offer that inadequately reflects the nature and extent of harm endured – including distressing injuries like burns. At Carlson Bier, we understand every burn injury case uniquely as circumstances causing them vary extensively just like individuals’ resilience levels towards such adversity.

Should you or a loved one face a situation involving a burn injury due to the negligent conduct or action of others, you deserve justice served in your favor coupled with significant fiscal compensation – this is where Carlson Bier steps in vigorously fighting on behalf of our injured clients.

Our motto centers around ensuring fair treatment for victims impacted by someone else’s neglect or carelessness – especially critical burn-injury cases affecting quality of life deeply as we believe delivering justice goes beyond courtroom battles; fundamentally boiling down to restoring dignity alongside essential financial stability for afflicted parties enabling onward slicing through life without constraints.

Remember: Time waits for no man – especially when it comes to pursuing burn injury claims within Illinois’s two-year statute limitation so don’t delay any further!

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.
