About Carlson Bier

Burn Injuries Lawyers in Rossville Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we are deeply committed to offering you preeminent legal assistance in Illinois when you or your loved ones have encountered burn injuries from tragic accidents. These catastrophic situations can lead to severe impairments and agonizing medical procedures that strain not only the injured individual but ripple through their family members emotionally and financially as well. We recognize that comprehending the full scope of a burn injury can be complex, hence we have dedicated this page to distill crucial information about this specific type of personal injury.

Burn injuries can vary significantly regarding both degree and category, each influencing the treatment option pursued, rehabilitation needed, and compensation claimable. Light first-degree burns affect just the skin’s surface while deep third-degree burns infiltrate underlying tissues causing nerve damage which may involve long-term hospitalization. Burn categories include thermal (from heat), chemical (contact with harmful substances), electrical (high-voltage shock) and radiation burns (UV light exposure/ nuclear radiation).

As a victim of such circumstances in Illinois, you’re entitled to specific rights under personal injury law. Our expert team at Carlson Bier strives relentlessly for justice and advocating your right for financial compensation related to these scenarios:

• Medical bills – present and future

• Lost wages due to time off work during recovery

• Pain & suffering – includes emotional distress

• Rehabilitation costs – physical therapy necessary due to loss of mobility/functionality

It is worth noting that securing deserving compensation goes beyond filing insurance claims; it constitutes proving negligence on another party which caused the accident leading to your burn injury. This element makes hiring highly skilled personal injury attorneys indispensable – expertise that Carlson Bier brings forth in abundance.

Our proficient lawyers possess an extensive understanding of Illinois laws alongside invaluable experience dealing with insurers’ tactics purposed towards minimizing payouts or shirking liability completely. We are steadfast in our objective to ensure clients receive full reparation for their grievous ordeal, even if that necessitates taking matters to court. Carlson Bier’s representation is synonymous with aggressive advocacy, unwavering support, and a tireless pursuit of justice.

Notably, the statute of limitations for burn injury claims in Illinois spans two years post-accident for most cases; however, this timeline may vary accordingly based on intricate legal factors which our calculative team will decipher seamlessly in alignment with your unique case.

An essential part of successful personal injury claim resolution includes documentation supporting the cause and effect relationship between the accident and injury. We recommend that victims promptly seek medical attention following an accident to not only ensure appropriate treatment but also document their condition adequately from the outset via professional medical records. These reports serve as powerful evidence when negotiating settlements or validating your case before a jury if it escalates into litigation.

Choosing Carlson Bier as your trusted representation spells profound expertise, unshakeable dedication, empathetic comprehension and resolving maneuverability brought professionally to you – invaluable assets as you reclaim normality amidst such adversities.

At this juncture of your journey towards restoring both sanity and prosperity after enduring a burn accident, procuring sound counsel and advocacy should be paramount in guiding you through this turbulent terrain.

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.
