About Carlson Bier

Products Liability Lawyers in Amity Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we firmly believe that being well-informed about the law allows you to make better decisions when dealing with personal injury cases. Our focus today is on Product Liability, a critical aspect of personal injury law. Here in Illinois, product liability refers to the legal obligation of manufacturers or vendors for damage or harm caused by their defective products, perhaps a faulty car part or a hazardous pharmaceutical drug.

The concept of Products Liability can be divided into three categories: defectively manufactured products where errors occur in the production process; defectively designed products with inherent design flaws posing potential risk; and inadequate labeling or lack of clear instructions regarding proper usage and associated risks. Our expert attorneys at Carlson Bier specialize in navigating these intricate subtleties within Product Liability law.

It’s essential to bear in mind that proving negligence is integral to Product Liability lawsuits. We help claimants substantiate that:

• The product carried an “unreasonably dangerous” defect;

• The defect led directly to an injury while using the product as intended;

• And no significant change was made to how the item was utilized between its purchase and injury onset.

Understanding legal statutes pertaining to Products Liability can seem overwhelming without professional guidance. Therefore, it’s beneficial knowing that different jurisdictions follow either one or both theories: Negligence Theory (fault-based), ensuring claimants show fault on behalf of manufacturer/designer/vendor leading directly to harm and Strict Liability Theory (no-fault basis), allowing injured parties claim damages regardless of showing/rooting out manufacturer’s fault.

Notably, your case’s success hinges on selecting competent representation experienced in handling similar claims because each case possesses unique facets which could affect its outcome – this is where we come in. At Carlson Bier, our seasoned team has helped countless clients secure favorable outcomes by rigorously exploring all aspects of their individual cases within applicable laws around Illinois’ state boundaries.

Now imagine if someone told you there might already be funds allocated for your kind of injury that you weren’t aware of? Or if a tactical legal maneuver would accrue 2x or even 3x the damages for you, transforming the outcome from bleak to hopeful? This happens under our dedicated counsel on a regular basis. In that sense, working with Carlson Bier is akin to taking control of your situation and asserting your rights within the confines of Illinois law.

The relationship between consumers and manufacturers must be governed by security and trust. When these are compromised due to defective products causing harm, you have an undeniable right to seek compensation. At Carlson Bier, we stand ready to lend our professional expertise in addressing Product Liability issues in Illinois; helping victims unmask complexities while ensuring they receive maximum reparation deserved.

As an advocate for legal education and safety awareness as an ultimate solution against consumer injuries tied to product defectiveness, we reassure clients that seeking adequate compensation isn’t just about financial recovery. Rather it’s about upholding justice; dissuading irresponsible practices among manufacturers while enhancing standards benefiting future customers.

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)

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.
