TRUCKING/TRANSPORTATION

Experience and expertise are the keys to success when defending trucking companies and their insurers in trucking accident litigation, insurance coverage disputes, freight claims, and environmental claims. Truck accidents present unique issues not necessarily associated with a typical motor vehicle accident. Those differences include:

• Greater likelihood of serious injuries or deaths

• Prejudice against truck drivers and trucking companies

• Negligent hiring and supervision claims

• Negligent maintenance claims

• Overlapping insurance coverage disputes

• Government regulation

​

Our lawyers understand that timely responses and effective liability assessments are also important when handling truck accidents. Metzger Rosta LLP offers its clients Emergency Response capability and will travel to the scene of any accident to properly document critical evidence.
