Transportation
Defense and regulatory counsel for motor carriers, railroads, brokers and logistics companies.
Overview
Martin Tate's transportation practice focuses on the complex and frequently changing regulations that govern the transportation industry, along with the economic and legal challenges the sector faces. The firm represents both insured and self-insured transportation companies in personal injury and property damage litigation, and it also works with intermediaries such as freight forwarders, brokers, and logistics consultants.
The group has handled matters for motor carriers, railroads, and maritime vessels, including crossing accidents, cargo claims, collections, and contract disputes. Its work includes wrongful death and personal injury defense, common carrier liability disputes, U.S. Department of Transportation matters, insurance coverage analysis, labor and employment issues, negligent hiring and retention claims, safety regulation compliance, state tax litigation, accident investigation, and workers' compensation matters.
The practice also operates a Rapid Response Team that is available around the clock to respond quickly to accident scenes and other catastrophic losses.
