What is a freight broker, and why would they be named in my truck accident lawsuit?
A freight broker is an intermediary that connects shippers (companies needing goods transported) with motor carriers (trucking companies). The broker selects and hires the carrier. If the broker negligently selected a carrier with a dangerous safety history, and that carrier’s truck caused your crash, you may have a claim against the broker for negligent selection — though federal preemption rules, as explained above, currently limit these claims in Georgia.
