About Carlson Bier

Products Liability Lawyers in Kinmundy Illinois

At Carlson Bier, our primary focus and expertise lie in Personal Injury Law, addressing the unique needs of Illinois residents. Our exceptional legal team provides unparalleled representation for victims entangled in products liability cases. Products Liability is a complex area of law that refers to the responsibility of manufacturers, sellers, or distributors towards consumers due to harm resulting from defective or harmful products—ranging from faulty machinery, ineffective drugs, defective electronics to unsafe children’s toys.

• We boast decades of experience handling intricate product liability cases.

• We have an extended network of industry experts and resources to assist in your case.

• We are committed to advocating relentlessly for the fair compensation you deserve.

Products Liability claims typically fall into three main categories- manufacturing defects, design defects, and inadequate warnings/instructions.

Manufacturing defects occur when an error arises during the production process rendering the good dangerous even if properly used. Design defects refer to inherent flaws with a product’s blueprint making it potentially hazardous irrespective of its manufacturing quality. Lastly, insufficient warnings denote failures by corporations to state potential risks associated with their goods’ regular use.

The Carlson Bier team employs a strategic approach tailored to each specific client’s circumstance since no two cases are identical. Your injury may be physical lacerations from sharp edges on bought furniture or financial drowning due to inadequate warning about a medication’s side effects. Whatever your predicament might be – we ensure diligent work ethic and personalized care!

Here at Carlson Bier:

• Hale brite compassion toward every client

• Avail professional knowledge that simplifies complex legal jargon

• Journey through every step alongside you

Navigating through the labyrinthine corridors of Products Liability can be overwhelming – it requires not just proving damage but also convincingly linking this damage directly to the product issue while countering robust corporate defenses trying legally evading liability.

Key factors aiding successful litigation encompass decisive evidence like medical reports corroborating injury severity; witness testimonials validating event occurrence, product purchase receipts or usage instructions serving as tangible proof of faulty products. Proving a product’s inherent danger usually entails comprehensive inspections by legal and industry experts who examine item safety test results, safety protocol adherence, quality control checks in manufacturing plants, and even competitor product comparisons.

Keep these essential factors in mind:

• Gather every available piece of evidence.

• Maintain clear, logical communication with your lawyer.

• Prompt action can mean the difference between victory and defeat.

At Carlson Bier, we understand the financial strain an unexpected injury from a defective product imposes – compounded by loss of earnings resulting from incapacitation.

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; and 3 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, and 2 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, and 2 insured did not need to prove that it was prejudiced by delayed notice of lawsuits. Affirmed.
