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. DunbarMonroe offers its clients Emergency Response capability and will travel to the scene of any accident to properly document critical evidence. More

TRUCKING CASES
[07/03]
BNSF Ry. Co. v. Swanson
Provisions of Minnesota Statute sections 609.849(a)(1) and (a)(2), governing a railroad's treatment of injured workers, are both preempted by the Internal Control Plans regulations adopted by the Federal Railroad Administration pursuant to the Federal Railroad Safety Act.
[07/02]
Lundeen v. Canadian Pac. Ry. Co.
In consolidated appeals challenging the constitutionality of Congress's recent amendment to 49 U.S.C. Section 20106 of the Federal Railway Safety Act, the circuit court finds that: 1) Congress did not violate the constitution in making the amendment, and thus the federal preemptive effect directly addressed by the amendment applies to the underlying case; and 2) arguments advanced with respect to the amendment's violation of separation of powers doctrine, due process, equal protection, and Ex Post Facto clauses failed.
[07/02]
Sunset Skyranch Pilots Ass'n v. County of Sacramento
The State Aeronautics Act does not compel a county to allow continued operation of an airport. Further, denying the renewal of a conditional use permit, which will result to the closure of an airport, is a "project" that requires an initial study as provided for under the California Environmental Quality Act.
