Availability at a moments notice. That's what you need when a catastrophic accident occurs. You need someone that can be trusted and who is sensitive to the issues that can arise when a disaster hits. Our trucking and transportation attorneys will travel to and coordinate an accident scene, retain investigators and accident reconstruction experts to collect the evidence before it's altered or destroyed.

We understand that to properly defend a catastrophic accident, an attorney needs to get involved before the claim becomes a lawsuit. The attorneys of our trucking and transportation defense department are available to you 24 hours per day, seven days per week to assess your case and put the appropriate people into immediate action. Our emergency response team is comprised of experienced transportation attorneys, investigators and accident reconstruction experts.

Once the accident investigation is completed, our attorneys are available to assess the evidence, review the medical records and research the legal issues to provide you with an accurate evaluation of the claim.

If the claim cannot be resolved and a lawsuit is filed, that's when our defense litigation team springs into action. We know that these types of accidents can lead to exposures beyond the normal motor vehicle accident case. The attorneys handling these matters have extensive experience defending such complex cases. They are knowledgeable, thorough and extremely aggressive. While our attorneys actively pursue negotiation and alternative dispute resolution to achieve cost effective results, we are not shy at proceeding to trial where the demands of the plaintiff are excessive.

Our capabilities also include representation of rail and motor carriers, 3PLs, brokers and freight forwarders in cargo claims and a wide variety of other commercial matters. We have trial and appellate experience in federal and state courts across the country with matters involving Carmack Amendment and COGSA freight claims, demurrage and detention matters, tariff enforcement and recovery matters, contract carriage issues, interline revenue disputes, and customer and vendor disputes.
