About Carlson Bier

Burn Injuries Lawyers in Paris Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we pride ourselves on our extensive expertise as personal injury attorneys, dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complex world of personal injury law. One particularly devastating type of bodily harm that can often result in legal action is burn injuries, a subject which we’ve committed ourselves to understanding thoroughly to provide superior representation for our clients.

Burn injuries vary greatly in severity and cause, but each has the potential for significant physical and emotional trauma. A minor first-degree burn which primarily affects the skin’s outer layer may still require ongoing treatment and care. More serious second- or third-degree burns have the capacity to cause long-lasting or even permanent disruptions to victims’ lives.

Knowing what course of action to take immediately following a burn incident involves making critical decisions about medical care and understanding your rights under Illinois law. Burn victims should be aware that seeking immediate medical attention is not only crucial for their health but also for any future legal claims they wish to pursue.

• Proper documentation from healthcare professionals bolsters credibility in court.

• Consistent medical records link injuries directly with incidents.

• Regular follow-ups demonstrate ongoing impact of burns on quality of life.

In addition to advocating for comprehensive healthcare, Carlson Bier educates clients regarding various sources of burn injuries recognized under Illinois law. These include scalding from hot liquids or steam, electrical burns resulting from exposed wiring or faulty equipment, chemical burns from corrosive substances, thermal burns caused by contact with heated objects or surfaces, and radiation burns triggered through exposure from sources such as X-rays.

As experienced personal injury attorneys based in Illinois, we at Carlson Bier understand that dealing with such traumatic experiences goes beyond just treating physical wounds; it involves fighting fiercely for justice in courtrooms too. We assist clients throughout multiple stages – collecting key evidence proving negligence on part of offending parties, accurately assessing compensatory damages including medical expenses along with pain and suffering costs involved due to disfigurement or disability brought on by severe burns.

• Accurate documentation of damages increases potential for fair compensation.

• Proven negligence holds guilty parties accountable under law.

• Comprehensive representation paves way for least traumatic legal experience possible.

The journey from sustaining a burn injury to reaching resolution in court can seem overwhelming, which is why you need experienced attorneys like us by your side. Our mission at Carlson Bier is to arm you with knowledge and provide steadfast support throughout the daunting legal process, helping clients restore balance and regain control over their lives after suffering life-altering injuries.

Navigating complex insurance claim processes or wading through state worker’s compensation laws as a burn victim can be intimidating without expert guidance. As personal injury attorneys, we dedicate substantial time to negotiating with insurance companies on our client’s behalf so that every individual gets what they rightfully deserve – maximum compensation not only for immediate medical expenses but even future care costs or loss of earning capacity due to inability to work post-injury.

In Illinois, strict timelines are adhered to when filing personal injury lawsuits including those involving burn injuries. A reputable attorney at Carlson Bier ensures no deadline passes unnoticed – saving clients from potentially losing out on claims due to missed statutory limitations.

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.
