About Carlson Bier

Burn Injuries Lawyers in Tremont Illinois

Burn injuries can be some of the most painful and disorienting experiences one may face in their lifetime. Understanding the gravity of such incidents, Carlson Bier provides personal injury attorney services for burn victims throughout Illinois. We strive to champion your cause, ensuring that you receive the justice and compensation due after experiencing such a traumatic event.

Firstly, let’s focus on the critical nature of burn injuries. Burns are caused by multiple factors – flame burns from fire or explosion, scalding from hot liquid or steam, contact burns from hot objects or surfaces and even chemical burns from corrosive substances. Each type has unique characteristics that dictate not only potential recovery trajectories but also potential legal rulings.

The meaning and potential implication of medical terms associated with burns is important for every victim to know.

• ‘First-degree’ describes superficial burns affecting only the skin’s outer layer; redness, mild swelling, and pain are common symptoms.

• ‘Second-degree’ pertains to burns reaching beyond the surface to underlying skin layers; these often result in blisters and severe pain.

• ‘Third-degree’ denotes severe tissue destruction impacting deeper tissues like muscles or bones; noticeable blackening/browning may appear where affected.

It’s crucial to understand that any degree can be severely problematic depending on its location—burns covering large body areas or those involving sensitive parts such as face, hands or feet often present unique distress levels and complications.

Of equal importance is treatment. Burn injuries involve immediate care at initial incident stages followed by ongoing treatments that might include surgeries, physical therapies—even psychological counseling in many situations. Instantaneous professional help will maximize chances of complete healing while minimizing risks related to permanent damage.

Making sense of it all while navigating through personal trauma could feel arduous for survivors seeking reparations for their sufferings—an area where we pledge expert assistance. With years having serviced wide-ranging cases across Illinois encompassing diverse subcategories within this domain (including wrongful death due to severe burns), Carlson Bier is poised to provide comprehensive legal advice and representation.

When filing a lawsuit, one must demonstrate that their burn injury resulted due to third-party negligence. Establishing liability in burns cases involves skillful handling of multiple verticals: factual investigation, medical consultation, meticulous synthesis of state legislations surrounding personal injuries—all requisites well within the purview of our proficient team at Carlson Bier.

Claims can derive from various situations – workplace accidents where employers failed in ensuring safety compliance; residential fires due to faulty wiring or appliances installed without requisite adherence to regulations; car accidents involving injured parties schooled by reckless drivers—you deserve an attorney who’s ready to fight tooth and nail for your rightful compensation.

Factoring in all associated costs—hospital bills, ongoing medication expenses, wages lost during recovery time—it becomes essential for burn victims to understand what they are legally entitled to. Questions such as income potential impact, compensatory entitlement for pain & suffering caused—the personalized guidance we offer ensures you charter these seemingly uncharted waters with confidence.

In conclusion (but not least!), personal attorney services should be more than sterile case representations. The premise governing us at Carlson Bier encapsulates understanding the trauma faced by each client individually—providing empathetic ambiance while marshaling all necessary resources making certain justice prevails.

Burn injuries can turn lives upside down. At Carlson Bier, we strongly believe that you should focus entirely on restorative measures while leaving all litigation-related stressors upon our able shoulders.

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.
