Trucking and Transportation

Trucking and Transportation litigation presents unique challenges that are addressed by our attorneys during every step of the litigation process.  We are familiar with licensing and employment issues, the Federal Highway Administration Regulations and the Federal and State statutes applicable to owners and drivers.  Kubicki Draper recommends early retention to assist in on-scene investigation, witness statements, cooperation with authorities, accident reconstruction and evidence preservation.  Further, we analyze potential defenses, retain experts and explore potential areas of exposure including product liability underride hazard, environmental exposure and trucker fatigue. During the litigation process, we employ discovery techniques geared toward early assessment of liability and damages, consider potential application of alternative dispute resolution and develop effective ways to negotiate utilizing different types of settlements.  At the trial stage, our seasoned courtroom advocates effectively present their cases through the use of the latest technology and trends in the law.  Kubicki Draper is proud to represent a growing number of interstate transportation carriers and their insurers.
