About Carlson Bier

Burn Injuries Lawyers in Warrenville Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we are renowned personal injury attorneys based in Illinois dedicated to representing clients who have suffered burn injuries. Due to their inherently painful and often debilitating nature, burn injuries require specialized understanding—something our legal team has cultivated over years of experience.

When you or a loved one is faced with the aftermath of a serious burn injury, it’s common to feel overwhelmed. After all, recovery often necessitates extensive medical care; making sense of potential compensation can be challenging as well. At Carlson Bier, our utmost commitment resides in guiding you through this difficult process.

A significant aspect that sets us apart lies in our depth of knowledge concerning various aspects related to burn injuries. Our expertise spans across thermal burns due to direct heat exposure, chemical burns via hazardous substances, electrical burns from high voltage contact and radiation burns from harmful rays. Understanding the cause is crucial not only for your claim but also for long-term medical prognosis.

Dealing with your immediate health requirements takes precedence, but understanding the financial implications thereafter is equally important:

– Medical Bills: Burn injuries often warrant prolonged hospitalization periods accompanied by intensive care treatments such as skin grafting and reconstructive surgeries.

– Lost Wages: Extended recuperation times may mean missing work possibly leading to loss of wages or even earning capacity.

– Pain and Suffering: Physical pain and emotional distress following an accident contribute significantly towards calculating potential compensations.

– Future Medical Care Costs: In cases where ongoing treatment or life-time care is required, these should be factored into your claim.

We at Carlson Bier recognize that each case differs drastically based on severity, area affected and degree of negligence contributing towards said incident. We dedicate ourselves fully towards assessing intricacies specific to your case — aiming always towards optimal compensation suited best onto individual needs.

Navigating through nuances associated with insurance companies post-burn accidents are another factor provoking anxiety among many victims. Rest assured knowing that at Carlson Bier, you have advocates skilled in tackling these challenges. We are familiar with strategies employed by insurers to evade full responsibility and we arm our clients with the tactics needed to confront such attempts — ensuring fairness prevails.

Remember, burn injuries often seem more temporary than they are. What starts out as something seemingly manageably can spiral into a lifetime of complications — from emotional trauma extending to physical scars serving as daily reminders of the incident.

Don’t hesitate! Reach out to us at the first opportunity following your accident for understanding what your legal rights are. The sooner we begin formulating others about the case, including possible negligent parties or insurance intermediaries, the better positioned you will be towards claiming deserved compensation.

To this end, Carlson Bier not only offers legal assistance but also advises clients regarding appropriate medical providers specializing in burn injury recovery. Our work revolves around enabling a smoother journey throughout recovery hurdles faced post accidents—be it legally or health-wise.

Above all else, it’s essential for you to make informed decisions— a process that requires comprehensive information. With Carlson Bier by your side, feel reassured that you’re backed by dedicated legal counsel who values transparency and open communication channels.

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.

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.
