Transportation: Road (Carriage/Logistics)

Galloway Johnson Tompkins Burr & Smith delivers business aligned responses to high value road matters with disciplined strategies that reduce risk and keep fleets operational. With lawyers across the Gulf South and Midwest, we represent carriers, logistics providers, brokers, and transportation insurers, tailoring consistent approaches to jurisdictional nuances and FMCSA requirements.

Our 24/7 Emergency Response team supports incident response, evidence preservation, and early case assessment to set resolution posture from the outset.

We handle catastrophic trucking accidents, multi vehicle collisions, wrongful death and survival claims, cargo and freight disputes, contract/indemnity issues, and complex insurance claims. Our lawyers coordinate multi party litigation, align with primary and excess carriers, and deploy experts to challenge causation and damages—driving outcomes that materially reduce claimed damages, including in admitted liability scenarios. We also advise on coverage and extracontractual exposure and manage commercial disputes among carriers, shippers, and brokers.

We guide clients through regulatory inquiries and investigations in state and federal courts, ensuring early evaluation and trial readiness. When cases proceed beyond trial, our appellate capability safeguards results and manages precedent.
