Burn Injuries Lawyers in Teutopolis Illinois

Burn injuries can be one of the most traumatic and painful experiences that an individual undergoes. Handling not only the physical agony but also the emotional aftermath and financial impact, Carlson Bier is focused on fighting for you as your dedicated personal injury attorney group in Illinois. For decades, we have been representing clients who have unfortunately experienced burn injuries due to various circumstances.

Accidents causing burn injuries can range from minor incidents to severe life-threatening events, leading to extensive medical treatment, grueling recovery periods, significant changes in lifestyle, loss of earnings and psychological trauma. They occur through various means – such as exposure to heat or fire, chemical burns from dangerous substances at the workplace or at home, electric shocks resulting in electric burns and scalds from hot liquids or steam.

• Identifying the cause: The type and severity of a burn injury mainly depends upon its source. Each source results in unique challenges related to diagnosis, treatment, costs involved, etc.

• Different types of burns: Burns are classified into three categories: first-degree (superficial thickness) burning only affecting outer layer skin; second-degree (partial thickness), which affects both outer & underlying dermis layer causing blisters/pain; third-degree (full-thickness) injuring deep layers including underlying tissues creating wound/nerve damage.

• Essential immediate care reminders: Cooling process with cold running water minimum 10 minutes; removing any clothing/jewelry around burned area except materials sticking directly onto wound surface. Severe cases require emergency services immediately without trying above steps at all.

When it comes to wading through this distressing journey after a burn injury incident – documenting medical visits required post-burn accident for insurance claim purposes becomes an uphill battle but it’s essential for recovery financially.

This is where we step in as Carlson Bier – personal injury attorneys based in Illinois. Our committed team provides comprehensive legal representation for victims suffering because of serious burn injuries caused by someone else’s heedlessness or a company’s negligence. We understand the nightmare that victims go through after such an occurrence and support you to ensure proper compensation.

We not only advocate for a fair settlement in terms of medical costs, but also carefully consider sequels such as loss of earning capacity, quality of life changes due to disfigurement/impairment, and mental agony endured subsequent to injury.

Being your passionate representative, we value transparency – making sure our clients are cognizant about how their case is evolving every step of the way. Our resilient pursuit with insurance companies acknowledges saving your time during these hectic times so you can focus on healing while ensuring you receive rightful compensation.

If any party found solely/partially responsible for creating circumstances where burn injury occurred – whether it values premises liability or product defect cases- does not accept its culpability voluntarily after our initial approach via legal notice pointing towards proved careless actions; it leads directly to courts where justice is maintained through unbiased rigorous proceedings. Our seasoned attorneys move strategically bringing parties at fault accountable ensuring victims’ rights reinstated rightfully with just compensation.

Our long-standing presence in this field and robust negotiation skills aid us towards achieving favorable results even in complex situations – befitting our valued client’s demands adhering well within legitimate boundaries per provided law & order framework operating around Illinois.

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.
