Transportation

From minor accidents to catastrophic events, our nationally recognized attorneys provide a broad spectrum of services to trucking companies and their insurers. With a widespread office network and a 24-hour rapid response team, we guide our clients through whatever challenge may arise—whether it be a claim, regulatory matter, or the need for a strategic partner to develop best practices, policies, and procedures.

We work with our transportation clients long before claims develop. Our attorneys have a thorough understanding of laws, regulations, and complex international conventions that come into play in transportation and cargo claims matters. We continuously inform our clients about important tort reform issues and legislative developments and communicate ways to modify policies and procedures in accordance with the current state of the law.

When incidents do occur, our rapid response system enables us to proactively protect our clients’ interests, preserve evidence, and avoid claims of spoliation. Our 24-hour response team consists of attorneys and accident reconstruction experts working together to represent our clients’ interests. We immediately coordinate among our clients, insurers, and experts, while our meticulous attention to detail and experience in the field ensures that physical and electronic data are located and preserved.

Should matters proceed to litigation, Chartwell Law provides effective representation before agencies, arbitration panels, and federal and state courts. Our seasoned litigators aggressively handle cutting-edge issues impacting trucking litigation, including inflated medical bills, litigation funding, and product liability issues related to collision avoidance and mitigation technology.

Beyond the courtroom, we advocate for our clients and the industry as a whole by virtue of our extensive involvement and leadership roles in professional associations. Our attorneys are sought-after speakers and active members of legal and trade organizations such as the American Trucking Association, Defense Research Institute, Transportation Industry Defense Association, Women in Trucking, and more.

We help our clients resolve their most challenging and complex matters with our deep knowledge of the legal and business concerns confronting the transportation field. As the industry evolves, our transportation law attorneys consistently transform their knowledge into positive results.

We represent a range of clients, including:

  • Freight forwarders
