Trucking litigation is high stakes and requires unique technical knowledge and skills. This is no time to improvise on the spot or go at it alone.

Being a trucking lawyer is hard with high job demands and ever-mounting pressure. Managing the work/life balance can be challenging but is key for long-term success. Further, ethical considerations loom from the beginning of every trucking case, whether from investigating the plaintiff to navigating the tripartite relationship when confronted with excess policy limit demands or potential claims for punitive damages. We will provide both practical and technical tips to succeed.

It is vital to assess your driver and your company’s compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) in defending against the plaintiff’s theories of liability you will be facing. Plaintiffs’ arguments often involve issues such as driver hiring, drug and alcohol testing, preventability, driving in adverse weather, hours-of-service, and vehicle maintenance. You will learn how to reign in the plaintiff’s overreaching theories and to engage defense strategies to give proper focus on the truck accident in question.

The voluntary disclosure of evidence pre-suit poses risks and benefits. On one hand, it can help lead to an early resolution of a claim, but it can help your opponent to develop direct negligence and punitive damages claims against your motor carrier client and foreclose the opportunity to file a motion to dismiss before formal discovery begins. You will learn practical tips and technical knowledge to navigate this delicate dance.

After you’ve gathered the evidence and done your initial evaluation, you and the client will need to consider whether to move forward with resolving the claims that result from the accident or to mount an aggressive defense. In most cases, the parties have opportunities to settle these cases before litigation is filed. This presentation will explore the finer details of early negotiations with claimants, the use of alternative dispute resolution, and other techniques that will allow motor carriers and insurers to reach fair and final resolutions.
