Can I still recover damages from the motor carrier even if broker claims are preempted?

Can I still recover damages from the motor carrier even if broker claims are preempted?

Absolutely. The FAAAA preemption defense applies only to brokers, not to the motor carrier or the driver. Your claims for negligence, negligent entrustment, and negligent hiring against the carrier remain fully available. A skilled truck accident attorney will pursue every viable defendant to maximize your recovery.
