Transportation Industry - Catastrophic Collision Defense

When a matter involves litigation, we aggressively defend our trucking clients. As soon as a lawsuit is filed, we evaluate the venue and seek to remove or transfer the case to an appropriate jurisdiction that provides our clients with the most favorable jury pool. Thereafter, we launch a proactive defense to protect the interests of our clients. Our transportation lawyers initiate discovery that is case-specific and designed to elicit information that will provide the most comprehensive risk analysis available. Moreover, we employ a pool of nurse paralegals and utilize credentialed economists, health care professionals, and vocational rehabilitation counselors who serve as damage consultants and experts.

At Armstrong Teasdale, we distinguish ourselves from other lawyers by our willingness to try cases. In fact, we regularly try cases in federal and state courts in Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, California, and Nevada. As part of the transportation industry trial practice, our lawyers make extensive use of technology in the courtroom, implementing animation, video and document presentation tools designed to capture the attention of the judge and jury.

The firm's expertise in the area of transportation and trucking is well known. As a result, we represent more that fifty different motor carriers in complex litigation. Moreover, we have been asked to provide continuing education courses to motor carriers, insurance companies and third party administrators and we are contributing members of multiple trade organizations in the trucking industry.
