Trucking and Transportation

Our go-team is ready to go for you.

At Young Moore and Henderson, we represent a large number of insured and self-insured trucking and transportation companies throughout North Carolina in personal injury and property and cargo damage claims. We represent these clients in both the state and federal courts and place special emphasis on litigation involving tractor-trailers, buses and various forms of mass transit. We have developed expertise with the numerous federal and state regulatory schemes affecting the transportation industry, including claims arising under the Carmack Amendment. The firm has substantial trial experience in virtually all facets of transportation litigation, from routine matters to complex, multi-party catastrophic losses and death claims.

We know that early intervention and investigation are often critical to the successful defense of a loss, and we are ready to lead your on-site investigations. The firm maintains a standing “go team” of attorneys, engineers and field adjusters, all of whom are available to respond to a catastrophic loss 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The firm’s Transportation attorneys routinely work with nationally recognized expert witnesses located throughout the United States and Canada.
