About Carlson Bier

Products Liability Lawyers in Lisle Illinois

As experts in the field of personal injury law, the team at Carlson Bier prides themselves on their exceptional understanding and superior representation of victims of product liability cases. Product liability is a complex area that requires specialized legal knowledge to effectively navigate. Our Illinois-based firm is committed to providing comprehensive education on this subject while delivering high-value content that instills trust.

In essence, product liability refers to a manufacturer or vendor being held accountable for placing defective products into the consumer’s hands. These flaws could be due to design defects, faulty manufacturing processes, or insufficient warnings and instructions regarding safe usage of said product. If you’ve been injured as a result of utilizing defective merchandise, it’s imperative to know your rights.

• Design Defects: These arise when inherent errors in the conception stage make a product inherently harmful even when used as intended.

• Manufacturing Defects: If deviations from a product’s blueprint occur during its production process which render it potentially hazardous, these count as manufacturing defects.

• Marketing Defects or Failure to Warn: When deceptively presented or marketed without adequate safety instructions/warnings leading consumers towards improper usage thus causing harm.

Understanding your rights within these categories can actuate justice for those wronged by negligent manufacturers and businesses. It also underscores why securing skilled representation like that provided by Carlson Bier is paramount.

One major advantage with our firm is our professional familiarity with local Illinois jurisdictional laws governing such cases which differ noticeably across states. This allows us realistically determine possible outcomes and prepare effective strategies for case pursuance. In addition, if players in distribution chain-factory workers, retail store owners etc., are implicated; state specific regulations influence procedures advancing claims against multiple defendants differently- an aspect we competently handle.

Within Illinois statute boundaries lies an important tenet commonly known as the ‘Strict Liability Rule.’ Under strict liability doctrine in product-related injuries litigation scenarios simply proving defective item inflicted damage suffices; irrespective of manufacturer’s/vender’s negligence knowledge. This steers victim’s legal pursuit efforts towards easier compensation securing paths.

Every product liability claim harbors unique circumstances. To accurately assess your situation and estimate its worth, key factors are scrutinized: type/severity of injury; impact on earning capacity/work life disruption for more severe injuries extending recovery time spans; and/or quality/length of medical care demanded by those injuries. Thus, Carlson Bier adopts a holistic review approach tailored to individual client cases, which forms the backbone of our robust case preparation process that has won numerous product liability claims.

Asserting a successful defense against well-resourced manufacturers’ insurance companies isn’t easy work. It warrants resilience via aggressive negotiation techniques combined with meticulous attention to case details – both strengths we own specially infused into our strategic framework propelling superior representations above competition ranks consistently.

In Illinois where strict time frames apply (two-year limit from discovered injury as per statute directives), initiating immediate action makes good sense. Why not allow us demonstrate how Carlson Bier can stand up for your rights? While headquartered in Illinois rather than Lisle specifically as regulated by state advertising laws, rest assured you’ll receive dedicated legal support regardless of your location across this great state.

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.
