We
take great pride in representing some of the nation's premiere
trucking companies and motor carriers, insurance carriers, including
primary, excess and reinsurers on both the East and West coasts.
On a daily basis, we defend cases of personal injury, death, serious
injury, property damage, LTL (Less Than Truckload) versus TL (Truckload)
issues, worker's compensation, subrogation and cargo claims, including
Carmack cases. We handle these cases from emergency response stage,
through litigation, ADR, trial and appeal if necessary.
REGULATORY:
We also handle regulatory matters for our motor carrier and insurance
clientele, such as drug and alcohol testing, regulatory hearings,
overweight and length violations, violation of driver qualifications,
including physical requirements under DOT standards. We handle
HAZMAT issues, including fingerprinting, as well as HOS and FMCSA
regulations. In addition, we can provide a defense for drivers
that are charged with regulatory violations or criminal charges.
CORPORATE AND TRANSACTIONAL:
We often are called upon to handle numerous corporate issues for
our trucking and insurance clients including, EEOC, ADA, TITLE
VII, FMLA, and employment termination and discrimination actions.
We have written and negotiated lease agreements, dock and terminal
agreements and have prepared and reviewed corporate filings. We
have brought replevin actions to release company vehicles being
held by lienholders and have negotiated shipper agreements under
post-9/11 regulations.
