Major case unit
We have extensive experience handling high-complexity and large exposure transportation claims.
Immediately upon notice of a new loss, we begin an aggressive investigation and collaborate with defense counsel throughout the life of the claim to help achieve superior outcomes.
In today’s world, plaintiffs’ bar continues to use creative, aggressive tactics in their pursuit of transportation cases. Motor carriers, freight brokers and insurers face many challenges including vastly inflated medical bills, overtreatment, fraudulent claims, unrealistic time-limit and policy-limit demands, social inflation and the ever-present potential for nuclear verdicts. Our major case unit, part of our transportation center of excellence, offers strategic solutions to help clients address these issues and control costs, while minimizing the risk for exceptionally high jury awards.
