About Carlson Bier

Products Liability Lawyers in Ramsey Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we are a dedicated group of personal injury attorneys based in Illinois. Personal injuries can not only be traumatic but also pose legal challenges that call for professional guidance and representation from seasoned lawyers who specialize in this field. Drawing from our extensive knowledge and experience, we have earned reputation as authorities in the field of Products Liability—a compelling dimension to personal injury law.

Products Liability transcends beyond a mere overlap of torts and contract law; it fundamentally revolves around holding manufacturers or distributors liable when their products cause harm due to defects or malfunctioning. It’s essential to remember here:

– A key premise is that companies manufacturing or selling products owe users an element of responsibility—a ‘duty of care’—to mitigate risks associated with product usage.

– Not all cases against manufacturers succeed. It’s vital to demonstrate that the product was ‘defective’.

– There arise different types of defect – manufacturing defects arising during product creation; design defects implying poor initial blueprint causing unnecessary risk; warning defects, with insufficient instructions affecting user safety.

Our experienced attorneys at Carlson Bier meticulously represent clients grappling with these issues by leveraging our comprehensive understanding of the laws governing products liability.

We ensure you grasp your rights clearly without stumbling on legal jargon at every step. Being versed in representing victims across several products liability scenarios such as pharmaceutical litigation, automotive recalls and defective machinery claims puts us at an advantage to secure promising outcomes for our clients.

Further, we attempt tirelessly to uncover breaches in compliance standards by businesses backing up such proofs with credible evidence sourced through persistent investigation. This amplifies our potential to create weighty pleadings taking into consideration the three dimensions defining ‘defectiveness.’

With Carlson Bier on your side, we strive relentlessly towards ensuring you receive suitable compensation commensurate with losses incurred owing to defective products. We don’t limit this scope merely within financial damages alone but aim at getting justice served holistically transcending beyond tangible losses faced.

This includes, but is not limited to compensation for:

– Medical bills dictated by the injury,

– Loss of wages due to incapacity to work post-injury,

– Mitigating intangible aspects like Pain and Suffering,

– Ensuring Future care coverage necessitated by chronic damage due to injury.

Products Liability is complex enmeshed within intricate legal principles. Unravel this complexity and ascertain your rights with Carlson Bier’s team of experienced attorneys. When navigating through the maze of potential liability theories such as strict liability, negligence or breach of warranty – our experts ensure that all relevant factors are taken into account in seeking just compensation for injuries inflicted on you by defective products.

Carlson Bier shoulders your burdens allowing you a breather amidst stressful situations. It starts from documenting your case meticulously, filing lawsuits against formidable opponents while fighting relentlessly on every frontier ensuring justice prevails upon defining maximum compensable worth accurately pegged over loss quantification metrics extensively.

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.
