Burn Injuries Lawyers in Nauvoo Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we provide dedicated legal services as personal injury attorneys specializing in the intricate and complex area of burn injuries. Headquartered in Illinois, our team is ready to help victims recover both physically and financially from the life-altering trauma caused by severe burns. Our goal is clear: to ensure you receive adequate compensation for your pain, suffering, medical expenses, lost wages and any other losses associated with your unfortunate incident.

Burn injuries are one of those traumatic experiences that can leave a victim with lasting consequences extending way beyond physical boundaries. Not only does it cause intense pain and distressing disfigurements but often leads to psychological torment too. Our adept lawyers at Carlson Bier understand this comprehensive impact of burn injuries on victims’ lives and take a holistic approach towards representation – advocating not just for financial restitution but also emotional recovery.

There’s an array of causes that might lead to a burn injury including accidents involving fire, electricity, chemicals or scalding liquids – each having its unique legal ramifications. At times, such incidents may result from negligence or safety protocol violations by another party which necessitates robust legal action for justice.

• Fire or flame-related accidents often occur due to violations of building regulations or inadequate safety precautions.

• Electrical burns can be traced back to faulty wiring or non-compliance with electrical standards.

• Chemical burns might arise from mishandling harmful substances without appropriate protective measures.

• Scalding burns typically occur due to unregulated temperatures in domestic settings.

Regardless of the source, our skilled legal team is prepared to investigate every aspect meticulously and confront liable parties in pursuit of fair recompense for you.

Understanding some key facts about burn injuries can better assist your recovery process:

• Just surviving initial trauma doesn’t mean an end to challenges; ongoing medical costs, reconstructive surgeries which could tally up significantly over time need consideration while filing lawsuits.

• Extent and location of your burns deeply influence the amount of compensation you may claim, hence it needs careful evaluation.

• Legal processes for burn injuries can be complex; having skilled lawyers like those at Carlson Bier ensures efficient maneuvering through this process securing a just outcome.

Medical science categorizes burns into first, second and third degree, depending on severity. Each type possesses different implications both medically and legally and we’re equipped to navigate them all effectively. First-degree burns typically involve the skin’s outer layer causing minor pain and redness which generally heal without leaving any scars. Whereas second-degree burns penetrate deeper affecting underlying tissues leading to severe pain, swelling, and possible scarring. Third-degree burns are most serious damaging all layers including visual impairment due to smoke or heat exposure demanding long term medical care.

At Carlson Bier, our team is committed to understanding these dynamics fully before formulating our legal strategy – ensuring every aspect of your injury gets included in claims enhancing chances of maximum restitution.

You deserve an advocate who not only talks law but understands your suffering too. That’s exactly what you will find with us: competent personal injury attorneys able to guide you through this challenging time toward recovery.

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.
