About Carlson Bier

Burn Injuries Lawyers in Auburn Gresham Illinois

Carlson Bier, a renowned Illinois-based personal injury law firm, specializes in providing effective and compassionate legal representation for victims of various types of debilitating injuries. One area in which we hold extensive experience is the handling of cases related to burn injuries. Burn Injuries can be deeply traumatic events that lead to long-term physical and emotional damages. As skilled advocates, we are dedicated to delivering around-the-clock service and yielding successful outcomes.

When evaluating injury cases, there exists a spectrum relating to burn severity: first-degree burns cause minor skin damage; second-degree burns affect deeper layers while third-degree burns result in severe tissue harm. Having knowledge about these categories is essential – and high on our list during initial consultations – as the degree determines not only medical treatment but also influences potential settlement amounts.

Given the intricate medical implications linked with burn injuries, it’s critical you align with an attorney who understands this complex web. Carlson Bier provides invaluable guidance illuminating aspects such as:

• Different causes behind burn injuries like chemical exposure or electrical mishaps

• Cost implications concerning present & future medical bills

• Rehabilitation needs including physiotherapy sessions

• Potential need for plastic surgery or psychological therapy due to scarring or trauma

Let us not forget the broader impacts following a serious burn injury that ripple beyond purely physical suffering. Severe cases often lead to loss of wages stemming from days off work during recovery or even result in unemployment because of diminished working abilities. Mental anguish too comes into play as does a reduction in quality life experiences thereby leading to what could possibly mount up as hefty compensatory demands.

Indeed Ingressing the realm of tort law where no two personal injury scenarios are alike requires adept understanding and perfect calibration between your particular situation and prospective compensation claims. Here at Carlson Bier, our proficient team utilizes an exhaustive checklist approach factoring burdened costs onto available insurance coverage options for maximum possible reimbursements.

We understand how overwhelming it can be when you’re on the path to recovery whilst simultaneously grappling with mounting bills and legal paperwork. As your chosen law firm, it’s our duty and privilege to ensure that during such a testing time, we become your bulwark – shouldering these complexities and channeling efforts towards winning just reparations.

Now, beyond every shadow of doubt, charting the course of legal redressal after an accident is fraught with intricacies. Expect encounters with multiple hurdles relating to policy frameworks, opposing parties or even intervention from insurance companies – each potentially disruptive element needing appropriate strategic handling. The Carlson Bier team is known for its potent acumen capable of negotiating difficult terrains and pulling through profitable outcomes for clients.

So when you entrust us with your claim, rest assured that despite complex legal battles likely ahead or the intensity of negotiations required, our personal injury attorneys are committed in their pursuit aimed squarely at claiming what’s rightfully yours. We’re not just about providing advocacy; we believe in creating a supportive environment conducive for your healing process while seeking deserved financial returns.

Receiving the right amount of compensation can truly make a significant difference in managing medical costs post a burn-injury incident as well as securing future livelihood.

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.
