About Carlson Bier

Burn Injuries Lawyers in Murrayville Illinois

When dealing with the repercussions of a serious accident such as a burn injury, it’s critical to have knowledgeable support and expert legal advice. This is where Carlson Bier steps in—your dedicated personal injury attorneys based in Illinois. Burn injuries are one of the most severe types of damages an individual can suffer. Not only do they cause immense physical pain, but they can also lead to long-term psychological trauma and result in massive financial burdens due to medical bills and lost wages.

As experienced lawyers specializing exclusively in personal injury law matters, we at Carlson Bier understand the complexity of these cases. We realize that each burn case will follow its own unique path, depending on several factors including – type and severity of burns (first-degree burns involving only the skin’s outer layer while third-degree burns extending through every layer of skin), circumstances leading to the accident (was it an industrial mishap or occurred at home?), extent & nature of treatment needed and so forth.

Importantly, we’re cognizant that burn victims might be eligible for different types of compensation like

• Reimbursement for all associated medical expenses

• Coverage for any future treatments required related to the burn injury

• Lost wages or income potential due to temporary or permanent inability to work

• Damages awarded for physical suffering and emotional distress

Our highly skilled team meticulously prepares your case by collaborating with medical experts, gathering exhaustive evidence, and calculating comprehensive damages – this ensures you receive maximum possible compensation.

We’ve tackled numerous cases through negotiation as well as court trials – making us adept at strategizing per your specific situation. Know this – insurance companies aim for quick settlements often overlooking long-term implications; therefore having a seasoned lawyer by your side can see you through these tactics ensuring proper justice served.

A noteworthy point here is about strict legal time limits that exist within which you must file your claim known as statute limitations. The clock starts ticking from the date of your injury or from when you became aware of this injury so do not delay seeking legal advice.

Moreover, burn injuries also involve a great deal of insurance laws. Sorting through these complex policies can be daunting, particularly when confronted with intentional resistance by insurers to deny their liability. No worries, as expert law practitioners we proficiently navigate all insurance intricacies keeping your best interests at heart.

Another critical aspect is determining fault – did the incident result due to someone’s negligence and could it have been prevented? Examples could include landlords not incorporating fire safety measures, an employer’s failure to provide safe work environment or a faulty product leading to burn accidents. As dedicated personal injury lawyers, we meticulously investigate uncovering all elements that contributed to the accident thereby solidifying your case.

Lastly—and equally importantly—we treat our clients with unparalleled empathy and pay thorough heed to even minute details. We are informed advisers, aggressive advocates and compassionate confidants – reshaping how people perceive personal injury attorneys. We offer no-cost initial consultation where we review your potential claim and guide you on further steps ensuring you’re never left stranded in this challenging journey.

Navigating post-burn recovery may feel overwhelming for victims and their families alike but remember – you’re not alone! Team Carlson Bier is here with the expertise & dedication required guiding you every step of way toward rightful compensation easing some part of this distressful phase.

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.
