Not Every Truck Crash Is Catastrophic. Every One Requires a Different Approach.

Roger Soroka and Matt Bodeman recently presented at the Ohio Association for Justice Annual Convention.

Their presentation, “Handling and Maximizing the Non-Catastrophic Trucking Cases,” focused on helping trial lawyers recognize the often-overlooked value in trucking collision cases that may not involve catastrophic injury. They discussed how these cases differ from standard car accident claims, including the importance of federal trucking regulations, commercial driving rules, evidence preservation, discovery, corporate liability theories, and identifying the system failures that led to a crash.

We’re also proud to share that Roger was named Secretary of OAJ’s Truck Safety Section, where he’ll continue supporting education and advocacy around safer roads and stronger accountability in trucking cases.

Congratulations to Roger and Matt on a great presentation and this well-deserved leadership role! Anyone with questions about the presentation or non-catastrophic trucking cases is welcome to reach out.

A freight broker may not be behind the wheel of a large truck, but that doesn’t always mean they’re out of the case.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that federal law does not automatically block negligent selection claims against freight brokers when motor vehicle safety is at issue.

That means crash victims may be able to ask whether a broker ignored warning signs before choosing an unsafe carrier.

Read more about what this decision could mean for serious truck accident claims:
