In transportation litigation, the biggest drivers of exposure are often not the accidents themselves, but the legal standards that determine whether claims proceed in the first place. This month’s edition focuses on developments that could significantly impact how transportation companies defend motor vehicle claims and manage long-term liability risk.
Our featured article examines proposed reforms to New York’s Serious Injury Threshold law and joint and several liability rules, changes that could meaningfully reduce litigation exposure for carriers and transportation companies if adopted. Alongside this analysis, we highlight recent decisions addressing inspection and maintenance claims, direct negligence theories, and training-related liability, each illustrating how courts continue to evaluate responsibility across the transportation chain.
At Lucosky Brookman, we translate these developments into practical guidance to help transportation companies strengthen defenses, control litigation costs, and operate with greater confidence in an increasingly complex legal environment.
