Can I sue a freight broker if a broker hired an unsafe trucking company that caused my crash?

Yes, under an expanding body of federal and Georgia case law. Freight brokers who negligently select motor carriers with poor safety histories can be held liable under a theory of negligent selection or negligent hiring. Courts have recognized that brokers have a duty to vet the carriers they retain. The federal case Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II, LLC, along with developments in Georgia appellate courts, has broadened the landscape for broker liability. HBLG actively litigates freight broker cases and includes broker liability analysis as part of every commercial trucking case investigation.
