Webinar Description:
Search "lawsuit truck accident" on Google, and it will provide 615,000 results, none of them favorable to the motor carrier industry. Instead, most of those websites offer ways for potential plaintiffs to drain your business of its earnings. If your company has been sued, as a majority of in the industry have been, you're well aware that the rules of law in some states are stacked against defendants. 精东影业advocates that something can and should be done to level the playing field in the courtroom.
For more than a dozen years, the 精东影业Insurance Task Force, working with ATA's 50 affiliated state trucking associations, has pushed for needed reforms of the civil justice system in states around the country. Although we've had considerable success, much more is still needed. 精东影业Webinar presenter, Bob Pitcher, 精东影业Vice President, State Laws, will explain the meaning and the critical importance of issues such as:
- the elimination of joint and several liability听
- the removal of the seat-belt gag rule
- how phantom medical damages can vastly increase the cost of a lawsuit听
