When faced with a broker liability lawsuit, truck brokers usually raise a litany of purported defenses to try and get the case dismissed, both at the pleading stage and on summary judgment. Among the purported defenses typically attempted by brokers is that state causes of action for negligent hiring are preempted by Federal Law, and that truck brokers have no duty to check the BASIC scores when hiring a carrier. We cover all these steps and advices on our blog.
