About Carlson Bier

Burn Injuries Lawyers in Peotone Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we understand the devastating effect of burn injuries on an individual’s life. With our expert team of personal injury attorneys based in Illinois, we pride ourselves on providing comprehensive legal assistance to help you navigate this complex trauma with confidence and knowledge.

Burn injuries can be inflicted by a broad range of incidents, that include automobile accidents, mishandling of electrical appliances or fires due to negligence. Every incident results in unique challenges that require specialized insight from experienced injury lawyers to protect your rights. At Carlson Bier, we are committed to associating you with the proficiency needed for successful case resolution.

There are several types of burns our clients often experience:

• First-degree burns – These superficial wounds only affect the top layer of skin causing redness and pain but usually heal within a week.

• Second-degree burns – More severe than first degree burns; these extend beyond topmost skin layer leading to blisters and significant discomfort.

• Third-degree burns – Severely penetrating multiple skin layers cause irreversible tissue damage and may involve prolonged medical treatments like grafting.

It is essential to understand not all repercussions following a burn accident are visible immediately. Long-term effects such as disfigurement, scarring or emotional distress may manifest eventually adding complexities unforeseen at the time of injury. Our considerable statewide reputation resides in comprehending such multi-layered aftereffects enabling us to represent your interests vigilantly.

We cordially invite you to entrust Carlson Bier with your claim no matter how big or small: what might appear initially as a minor second-degree burn could evolve into major medical complications later hence resulting in added financial burden caused by expensive therapies or lost wages due to extended periods off work. We believe in fighting tirelessly for just compensation reflecting each client’s particular circumstances so their recovery journey remains unhindered by external stressors.

In accordance with Illinois law, it is fundamental that post-burn physical examination should ensue promptly under qualified medical supervision. This enables swift documentation of injury specifics with medical evaluations acting as vital evidence during the legal proceedings. Additionally, immediate reporting of incident aids in preserving crucial onsite details further strengthening your claim.

To ensure seamless legal service, we strive to collaborate closely with healthcare providers and investigators to gather all essential aspects of your burn case thereby compelling a comprehensive compensation package covering medical expenses, lost wages, future treatments and non-economic damages like pain and suffering or loss of enjoyment in life.

Furthermore, you should consider seeking legal advice sooner rather than later; Illinois law clearly states a two-year statute of limitation on personal injury claims i.e., you only have two years from the date of accident to file a lawsuit against responsible parties.

We understand how overwhelming it can feel dealing with aftermath of a severe injury. Our dedicated team at Carlson Bier is here to assure that you don’t have to shoulder this burden alone. Let our compassion backed by knowledge guide your path towards justice. The journey begins with understanding the value- both financial and emotional- that every case holds for an individual.

Navigate this challenging time with Carlson Bier – rest assured that your interests are represented diligently providing relief as you focus on recovery knowing each detail has been meticulously overseen by expert legal advisors who care about bringing closure while maximizing owed compensation under given circumstances.

Whether these injuries were caused by someone else’s negligence or not, they require thorough investigation from multiple angles so generating fair compensation might take longer than expected; but remember- delays discourage the faint-hearted not the righteous ones! Don’t hesitate to hit the button below now—find out today how much your claim could actually be worth! Understanding parameters influencing final payout not only provides prolonged peace but serves as foundational step paving way towards ultimate faith in justice continuously advocated within Carlson Bier ethos.

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.
