Transportation
Overview
This includes defense of common carriers including buses, railways, and trains. We have defended airports as well.
Nelson Griffin has extensive experience in defending truck insurers, public entities, transportation brokers, freight carriers, truck drivers, and bus operators when accidents happen.
We will respond quickly and try when possible to arrive at the accident location to preserve evidence. Accident reconstruction, bio mechanical and human factors experts are also often used to analyze and recreate conditions to understand how the chain of events leading to an accident happened.
We also have handled cases involving alleged damage to cargo. These often are dependent on contracts, carrier liens, freight charges and bills of lading. We understand State and Federal regulations affecting the transportation of cargo.
