About Carlson Bier

Burn Injuries Lawyers in Sunnyside Illinois

At Carlson Bier, our team of skilled personal injury attorneys are dedicated to offering expert advice and effective legal representation for victims of burn injuries. As a reputable law firm based in Illinois, we take pride in our intensive understanding of the fields we specialize in including cases involving severe burn injuries.

Burn injuries can be traumatic and life-altering, entailing not only physical pain but emotional distress as well. It is important to understand that these injuries vary in grades of severity.

• First degree burns affect just the epidermis or outer layer of skin. The skin may become red and there might be minor inflammation.

• Second-degree burns can extend to the dermis or second layer of skin causing blistering and potential damage to your sweat glands.

• Third-degree burns are catastrophic, potentially reaching down to muscle tissue.

Accidents causing such harm can occur anywhere from workplaces to homes and public premises due to various reasons like chemical spills or electrical malfunctions; improper storage of flammable materials or even a simple kitchen mishap causing hot liquid spills. Whatever the reason behind your burn injury, our committed attorneys at Carlson Bier meticulously investigate each case’s details by assessing medical reports, speaking with experts if necessary, scrutinizing insurance details and ensuring all evidence that can strengthen your claim is taken into account.

Understanding how compensation works for burn injury victims is key. In Illinois, those afflicted have a right to file a claim for different types of compensations depending on their unique situation— included but not limited to actual healthcare expenses which consist of medicines & surgery charges; psychological counselling expense which might become essential given the trauma often involved with severe burns; Lost earnings due to inability to work during recovery period—and more significantly—the anticipated future loss of income in cases where one becomes forever unable to return back to work.

While it’s critical you fully recover from your ordeal— both mentally & physically—it’s equally important from a lawful perspective that every minute aspect is handled professionally and in a timely manner. Because Illinois follows comparative negligence laws, any delay could inadvertently hurt your claim prospects as you may be deemed partially responsible for the accident.

Putting up with severe burn injuries is unfortunate, dealing with its aftermath shouldn’t be. Everyone deserves access to comprehensive legal support and we at Carlson Bier are determined to facilitate this through transparent practices and empathetic dealings.

That said, an important note worth mentioning here is our strict adherence to state-specific advertising laws which strictly prohibit implying false physical presence – thus rest assured that while we may not physically reside in Sunnyside, our commitment extends far beyond geographical boundaries.

Choosing Carlson Bier means choosing a team of attorneys who put victims above victories. We’ve helped hundreds across Illinois recuperate after devastating burn injuries through effective representation bringing them closure, justice and peace of mind.

The true worth of your case can only be accurately assessed by experts sound in law & experienced in litigation related specifically to personal injury claims—in other words—experienced attorneys at Carlson Bier.

Trust us instead as we offer precise evaluations based on decades’ long experience coupled with forensic insights unmatched within industry circles when it comes to personal injury claims—specifically those triggered due to severe burns.

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.
