Supreme Court Unanimously Lets Trucking Broker Lawsuit Proceed

The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Shawn Montgomery, who lost part of his leg in a 2017 Illinois crash, may sue freight broker C.H. Robinson for negligent carrier selection, according to CBS News. Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote that federal transportation law's safety exception covers negligent-hiring claims, clearing the lawsuit to move forward. Said plaintiff's attorney Michael Leizerman: "They don't end up behind the wheel of an 80,000-pound vehicle unless someone hires them to do so."
