The Supreme Court Just Changed
Trucking Crash Cases
Freight Brokers May Now Face Claims for Hiring
Unsafe Carriers
In many serious trucking crashes, the driver is only one
part of the story.
A freight broker may have selected the trucking
company. The trucking company may have had a poor
safety history. There may have been warning signs before
the crash ever happened.
The Supreme Court has confirmed that freight brokers
may face negligent hiring claims when they hire unsafe
trucking companies.
That means injured victims and families may be able to
ask important questions
- Who hired the carrier?
- Did the broker check the carrier's safety record?
- Were there prior crashes?
- Were there bad inspections?
- Were there driver violations?
- Were maintenance problems ignored?
- Should that trucking company have been on the
road at all?
