The list grows: 2 more cases proceeding on broker liability
Two other cases can be added to the list of litigation on the question of broker liability. The post The list grows: 2 more cases proceeding on broker liability appeared first on FreightWaves .
Two additional cases involving broker liability have been added to the list of lawsuits closely monitored by the 3PL industry following the Supreme Court's Montgomery decision. One case features J.B. Hunt as a defendant in the U.S. District Court for Arizona, while the other is a Nevada case involving AONE Brokerage Company LLC.
In the J.B. Hunt case, plaintiffs are suing J.B. Hunt, Borderlands (the carrier), and the driver involved in a crash in October 2023. The plaintiffs allege that J.B. Hunt is liable for negligent hiring, supervision, entrustment, and retention of Borderlanders. If summary judgment is granted for J.B. Hunt, it would resolve its role as a defendant.
In the Nevada case, the judge denied summary judgement requests from both plaintiffs and defendants, noting that AONE Brokerage Company LLC breached its duty of care by continuing to do business with Lucky Transport despite knowing its lack of a brokerage license.
