About Carlson Bier

Products Liability Lawyers in Rome Illinois

At Carlson Bier, we understand the traumatic impact of personal injuries caused by defective products. With vast experience in Products Liability law, our dedicated team of legal professionals is well-equipped to deliver comprehensive support and effective representation for victims of this often-overlooked area of personal injury law.

Products Liability takes into account scenarios where a product doesn’t perform as safely as expected leading to physical harm or damage. This broad spectrum includes instances where a product may be improperly labeled without adequate safety instructions or warnings, under-designed or poorly manufactured resulting in malfunctioning causing injury, or even cases involving a design flaw that makes it inherently dangerous from the onset.

Key attributes determining liability include:

– Demonstrating that the product was defective.

– Providing proof that you suffered an injury.

– Establishing there’s a causal relationship between your injury and the alleged defect.

– Confirming use of the product in line with its original intent.

Our professional discourse involves meticulously dissecting each facet to establish fault and seek fair compensation on behalf of our clients.

What sets us apart at Carlson Bier is our relentless dedication to protecting actual and potential consumers from substandard products. We passionately believe manufacturers should remain accountable for their goods’ safety standards throughout their respective market lifecycle – from genesis to cessation.

The repercussions upon those injured can range from mild discomfort through severe impairment affecting livelihoods and quality of life irreversibly. Besides encompassing physical torment, casualties frequently experience mental anguish, financial distress due to mounting medical bills, loss wages during recovery periods or even job loss; burdens which are unjustly borne by innocent victims who were merely utilizing products as intended. It’s these far-reaching consequences wherein Carlson Bier establishes its purpose – seeking justice on behalf of beneficiaries.

Furthermore, we understand navigating such claims independently can be daunting due to intricacy involved in proving causation between specific defects contributing towards accidents causing injuries. Our proficient attorneys offer specialized insight drawing upon years of accumulated knowledge, creating formidable legal strategies ensuring clients receive optimal outcomes for their case.

Essential aspects of our service:

– One-to-one consultation, where we discuss your case in detail and present the most viable course of action.

– Thorough investigation to collect adequate evidence substantiating claims.

– Expertise in dealing with manufacturers and insurance agencies, clarifying intricate matters reducing hassles on claimants enabling them to solely focus on recovery while we battle on their behalf.

– Continuous support and guidance throughout length of proceedings keeping you informed of developments pertaining to your case.

Our commitment doesn’t ebb post a successful settlement either. Instead, we remain by your side facilitating processes cover medical bills expeditiously thereby alleviating stressors immediately following compensation disbursement.

The team at Carlson Bier consolidates its reputation upon solid principles – integrity, diligence, compassion coupled with unwavering determination advocating product safety standards protecting consumers against defective commodities.

We sincerely hope nobody should ever have to experience suffering caused by subpar items which are supposed to enhance lives rather than deteriorate them but rest assured if such unfortunate instances arise remember you may be entitled to compensation – safeguarding personal rights is our foremost prerogative!

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.
