The U.S. Supreme Court will issue its decision in Montgomery v. Caribe Transport by the end of its term this summer, with significant impacts on tort exposure in the transportation industry.
On May 14, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its anticipated decision in Montgomery v. Caribe Transport. The case resolved a split among the federal circuits and lower federal and state courts as to whether federal preemption operates to shield freight brokers from negligence-based claims arising out of vehicular accidents. The panelists for this session will review the decision, will discuss its implications for the transportation marketplace, and will explore a range of approaches currently emerging in the marketplace with respect to managing carrier selection and insurance programs in response to the decision. Benesch’s Marc Blubaugh, author of the Transportation Intermediary Association’s amicus brief cited by Justice Kavanaugh during oral arguments and in the Court’s decision, will be joined by Justin Olsen, Chief Risk Officer – Liability & Casualty, LOGISTIQ Insurance Solutions, and Megan Johnson, Vice President of Legal & Risk, Axle Logistics.

Litigation verdicts in excess of $10 Million dollars continue to plague the transportation industry, with some reaching nine-figure sums.
Litigation verdicts in excess of $10 Million dollars continue to plague the transportation industry, with some reaching nine-figure sums. The rise of these so-called nuclear verdicts corresponds with litigation strategies the plaintiff’s bar has specially designed to trigger “reptile theory” responses in jurors. Today, tactics exist for both defeating these strategies and preparing organizations to best withstand exposure without triggering existential risk. Join us to understand today’s playbook deployed by plaintiffs attorneys in casualty cases, the best techniques for combating that playbook, and ways that corporate counsel can develop organizational structures that as best as possible shield enterprise assets from exposure.
