Rebalancing the Scales: A Practical Discussion about Defending Your Fleet By nature of being professional drivers, truckers have an inherent duty of care to the driving public to act in a responsible manner. What has happened though is that duty of care has been twisted by precedents set in tort cases that allow plaintiffs to demand absurd amounts, exacerbate claims costs by dragging out the process, and make it more difficult to operate a profitable fleet. Since 2010, the number of cases for truck crashes with payouts over $1 million have skyrocketed by over 1600%. Settlement mill law firms have popped in various states that process 320% more cases than the traditional personal injury firms. These factors are draining fleets of money, people, and resources to offer one of the most critical functions in the world. The Hylant Transportation team is sharing a 30 minute workshop on Pre-Accident, Accident Response, and Claims/Litigation Management strategies to help you prevent as many claims as possible and weather the bad ones that come your way. |
