About Carlson Bier

Burn Injuries Lawyers in Buckley Illinois

Burn injuries are serious, life-altering events that can result in immense physical pain, emotional distress, and financial devastation. At the law firm of Carlson Bier, a renowned personal injury attorney group based in Illinois, we offer comprehensive legal representation to assist you if you’ve suffered from such trauma. Our dedicated team of experienced lawyers work tirelessly to ensure your rights are protected and advocate for fair compensation for any burn-induced injuries.

Understanding burn injuries is often the first step toward achieving justice. Burn injuries occur when skin tissues or other body parts become destructed by exposure to heat, chemicals, electricity or radiation. These typically fall into three categories: First-degree burns are superficial affecting only the outer layer of the skin; second-degree burns damage both top layers of skin but usually don’t harm underlying tissues; third-degree burns are severe with extensive damage to deeper tissues possibly damaging nerves and muscle or bone structures.

While minor burns may not warrant legal action, more serious burn injuries frequently lead to complicated medical conditions requiring extensive treatment processes and layers of costly interventions. Such situations can cause an inordinate amount of stress – emotionally and financially – on you as well as your family members who inevitably bear part of this burden too.

• Hospitalization Costs: Severe burns necessitate immediate specialized care followed potentially by lengthy hospital stays which increase exponentially.

• Rehabilitation Expenses: Extensive periods of physical therapy may be required to regain functionality after experiencing severe burns.

• Lost Earnings: The injured party might miss substantial amounts of work time resulting in lost earnings while recovery takes place over several months or even years.

The attorneys at Carlson Bier possess expert experience dealing with cases related to various forms of burn injuries caused by negligence including defective products (fireworks, appliances), auto accidents leading to vehicle fires and chemical spills causing burning incidents among others. We thoroughly investigate your case gathering evidence such as witness testimonies, photographs showing aftermath irregularities linking defects product manufacturers, proofs substantiating non-compliance of safety regulations correlating injuries with negligence.

As your legal representative, Carlson Bier gives you comprehensive support through all stages of the legal process. From settlement negotiations to advocating on your behalf in court if necessary, we focus our efforts towards securing maximum compensation for our clients. While dealing with complex litigation processes might seem overwhelming, we aim to provide solid peace-of- mind ensuring that each step is explicitly communicated and thoroughly explained throughout our client journey together.

At Carlson Bier, we understand that nothing can truly compensate the pain and suffering experienced due to a burn injury. Our mission rather is to ensure you receive the monetary relief needed for medical expenses and other associated costs providing financial stability as recovery progresses. Additionally, it’s about seeking justice taking actions against those responsible enabling prevention of similar incidents causing future harm to others.

On this note, don’t just take these words-vyah as assurance; allow us at Carlson Bier to demonstrate personally how passionate we are about serving our clients’ needs effectively offering up-to-the-minute advice navigating cases related to burn injuries excellently.

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.
