Supreme Court to Hear C.H. Robinson Case on Freight Broker Liability
Logistics giant C.H. Robinson is at the center of a major Supreme Court case concerning freight broker liability. The case originates from a catastrophic 2016 highway accident involving a motor carrier hired by the company. At issue is whether federal law, specifically the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act of 1994 (FAAAA), preempts state-level negligence claims against brokers. The court's ruling could have significant financial and operational consequences for the entire freight brokerage industry.
