About Carlson Bier

Burn Injuries Lawyers in Bartelso Illinois

Sustaining burn injuries can be an incredibly traumatic experience, both physically and emotionally. At Carlson Bier, we understand this all too well as dedicated personal injury lawyers based in Illinois, serving our local community faithfully for many years. With a commitment to secure the compensation you deserve for your pain and suffering, our seasoned team is here to offer comprehensive legal assistance every step of the way.

One might wonder – what constitutes a burn injury? They are typically classified into three categories:

• First-degree burns: These affect only the outer layer of your skin (the epidermis). Symptoms may appear as redness or minor inflammation.

• Second-degree burns: These extend beyond the epidermis and reach the second layer of your skin (the dermis), often resulting in blistering and severe pain.

• Third-degree burns: The most serious type which affects all layers of your skin causing nerve damage and tissue death.

Understanding these classifications is crucial as they influence medical treatment plans significantly, hence underscore the gravity of injuries that might have been overlooked initially.

Burn injuries could arise from various circumstances such as home accidents, workplace incidents, faulty products among others. Regardless of its cause, each case demands thorough investigation in order to affirm liability and quantify damages. Remember – in none should you shoulder it alone! Our committed attorneys at Carlson Bier will help navigate through these complex situations objectively yet compassionately.

Apart from physical agonies like scarring, painful treatments or even amputations that traumatically transform one’s life forever, victims grapple with emotional trauma frequently manifesting itself through conditions like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or depression; areas largely neglected but integral nonetheless when discussing compensatory reparations.

Dealing with insurance companies right after a horrible incident can feel overwhelming at best – confusing terminology coupled with investigatory pressure aiming to minimize payout. You need focused legal representation respecting your immediate needs while addressing long-term consequences of your injuries. Rely on the exceptional services we provide at Carlson Bier, handling exhaustive fact-finding procedures and negotiations with insurance agencies effectively while you focus solely on your healing process.

But why choose us? Our firm is distinguished for its diligent attention to detail, empathetic approach towards clients and relentless fighting spirit against any odds. We ensure continual communication throughout the case proceedings and work vigorously until substantial compensation has been attained aligning with your needs as a burn injury survivor.

Shouldering medical bills or loss of income due to inability to return to work can escalate stress levels drastically during recovery. Hence it’s crucial that legal guidance is sought as soon as possible after experiencing a burn injury. Procrastination only detracts from gathering effective evidence further complicating potential claim filing.

And what about costs? As esteemed personal injury lawyers in Illinois, our policy ensures you are not charged attorney fees unless we successfully secure damage recovery from your claim; which means financial worries take a back seat while we pursue justice fervently on your behalf.

Remember – victims have rights too, ones demanding rightful protection under the law. If you’ve succumbed to severe burns due to someone else’s negligence, know that systemic justice might feel intimidating but certainly isn’t unattainable!

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.
