About Carlson Bier

Products Liability Lawyers in Sunnyside Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we are dedicated to protecting your rights and delivering justice when representing victims of personal injury in Illinois. A key focus of our practice lies in the realm of Product Liability; a specific area of law that deals with injuries or damages caused by defective products. Understanding your rights within this field can be enormously empowering.

Under Illinois law, all manufacturers, suppliers, distributors and retailers are responsible for ensuring that their products are safe for consumers’ use. However, defects can arise at various stages – during design, manufacturing or marketing – leading to potentially devastating consequences for unsuspecting users. Conversely, if you have suffered due to such negligence from product providers, rest assured that legal recourse is available.

• When it comes to Design Defects related lawsuits, these revolve around flaws inherent in the product’s blueprint itself which render them fundamentally unsafe.

• Manufacturing Defects concerns issues arising during production or assembly processes leading to hazardous end-products.

• Marketing Defects typically involve misleading advertising or insufficient instructions/warnings regarding product handling.

Regardless of the category into which your case falls under, our team at Carlson Bier offers unparalleled expertise spanning decades and has consistently delivered favorable results for our clients. You can trust us to dedicate ourselves fully towards establishing liability on part of those entities who have failed in their duty towards consumer safety.

Notwithstanding the complexities often associated with Product Liability suits involving multiple parties (manufacturers/suppliers et al.), stringent standards dictate that providing evidence proving defectiveness along with corresponding injuries inflicted suffices for a successful claim. Therefore relying upon an experienced team well-versed in steering through intricate legal procedures becomes crucial.

Illinois laws also account specifically for Strict Liability governing injuries sustained via defective products irrespective of any proof concerning manufacturer/provider negligence being presented by you as plaintiff; hence offering some relief while compiling arguments rendering success highly probable provided expert support is enlisted—which is exactly what Carlson Bier pledges to offer.

Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that another vital aspect of Product Liability in Illinois runs on the principle of Comparative Negligence. Through this ruling, if an injury can be proven to have resulted partly due to consumer actions vis-a-vis a share from product defects, damage compensations will reflect these proportions accurately. We’re committed to ensuring such details don’t get overlooked and you receive rightful compensation for your anguish.

Given our vast experience plus an unwavering commitment towards serving personal injury victims coupled with innovative strategic planning underlined by thoroughness unrivaled within this legal area, choosing Carlson Bier means opting for certainty while battling against negligent parties responsible for causing undue distress owing to faulty products.

Finally, we understand that monetary constraints may deter potential clients hence you’ll be relieved learning about our ‘No Fee Unless We Win’ policy which confirms no upfront payment required until expected results are yielded highlighting our confidence plus client-first approach.

There’s much more information regarding Product Liability laws awaiting within our troves ready for dissemination before you proceed further dealing with leftover repercussions launched by defective products.

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)

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.
