Overview
Because moving goods and people is a key economic driver, transportation claims have the potential to disrupt critical aspects of business logistics across the nation.
Segal McCambridge has deep experience defending manufacturing, retail and service companies involved in all types of transportation matters including cargo loss and damage claims, public transit matters and trucking-related matters.
What We Do
Our national practice includes offices in the key transportation hubs of Austin, Chicago, Detroit and New York, and our attorneys have a thorough understanding of the relevant federal and state transportation laws, including the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations and the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century.
Each day we are in the trenches fighting complex issues ranging from damage to commodities and warehouse fires to intermodal and inland marine claims.
We defend clients on issues related to cost-sharing agreements and less-than-truckload (LTL) freight rates, and we advise on ways to recognize fraud within the industry and secure recovery for lost product.
Our motor vehicle litigation group has a demonstrated record of success in defending motor-carriers, owners and operators of motor vehicles, as well as a growing number of well-established national automobile insurance companies. Our attorneys are well versed in litigation involving third party motor vehicle negligence claims, first party personal injury protection benefit claims and various insurance coverage disputes affecting all areas of motor vehicle litigation.
Clients at the national, regional and local levels also rely on us for proactive guidance on establishing and implementing loss prevention and risk mitigation strategies, safety and emergency-response protocols, and employment policies and procedures.
