A major U.S. Supreme Court decision could have a significant impact on truck accident cases.
The Court recently ruled that freight brokers may be held liable when they negligently hire unsafe trucking companies, expanding accountability beyond just the truck driver or trucking company.
“This ruling is an important step forward for truck accident victims and public safety. Freight brokers play a major role in deciding which trucking companies are put on our roads, and they should be held accountable when they ignore serious safety concerns in order to prioritize profits over people,” explains Christie Bell & Marshall Partner Katie Marshall.
