Originally published at: C.H. Robinson Cleared in Florida 'U-Turn' Lawsuit | Broker Liability Test - FreightWaves
C.H. Robinson has been dismissed from a high-profile Florida ‘U-turn’ lawsuit, a significant development in the ongoing debate around broker liability. Despite being named a defendant, the broker proved it had no connection to the tragic incident. This case highlights how plaintiff attorneys sometimes target ‘deep-pocketed’ companies without sufficient evidence, impacting the legal landscape for freight brokers.
This article seems incomplete. If C.H. Robinson showed no connection to the carrier, then why are they named in the lawsuit? Did they broker the load to another broker? If that is the case then they are tied because they did not locate a “Carrier”. I would like to know HOW they were not connected and were named.
