LB Trucking & Transportation Newsletter

In transportation litigation, even incremental changes in the law can have a significant impact on defense strategy. This month's edition highlights developments that affect how transportation companies manage risk, respond to claims, and navigate an increasingly complex legal landscape.

Our featured article examines recently enacted changes to New York's insurance laws that alter long-standing litigation practices, including when plaintiffs may seek summary judgment and how comparative negligence will apply in future cases. Alongside this analysis, we review recent decisions addressing government interference with transportation contracts, the enforceability of international arbitration provisions, and punitive damages arising from trucking accidents.

At Lucosky Brookman, we remain focused on helping carriers, brokers, insurers, and transportation companies understand how these legal developments translate into practical strategies for reducing exposure and strengthening their defense.
