Caruso Pope Edell Picini PC
Defending Client Rights and Interests

Our transportation liability defense attorneys have defended many types
of cases from different kinds of clients. We have defended shippers of
cargo and operators of trucking companies in a variety of situations,
including:

• Operation of a commercial vehicle causing injuries to other persons or
  property.
• Cargo loss claims brought due to the loss of cargo in
  transit.
• Cargo susceptible to spontaneous combustion causing a fire
  aboard a ship on the high seas.
• Delay damage claims brought medical provider as the result of destruction
  of shipment in transit.
• Accidents involving toxic spills.

Contractual claims brought pursuant to language in the Bill of Lading. In all those cases, the allegations need to be investigated, liability needs to be established, and the case needs to be evaluated. Does the Bill of Lading permit the claim? Are the insured's operator logs up-to- date and compliant with law? Are there allocation of fault issues?
