Galloway Johnson Tompkins Burr & Smith’s nationwide transportation defense team is recognized for rapid, business-aligned responses to high-exposure road matters and disciplined strategies that reduce risk, control spend, and keep fleets operational. With attorneys across Louisiana, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Missouri, the Firm represents carriers, logistics providers, brokers, and transportation insurers, delivering consistent approaches tailored to jurisdictional nuances and FMCSA requirements.

Galloway’s 24/7 Emergency Response Team supports incident response, evidence preservation, and early case assessment to mitigate exposure and set resolution posture from the onset, preserving consistency for national accounts and multistate programs.

Typical work spans catastrophic trucking accidents, multi-vehicle collisions, wrongful death and survival claims, cargo and freight disputes, contract/indemnity issues, and complex insurance claims. Trial lawyers coordinate multi-party and multi-claim litigation, align with primary and excess carriers, and deploy experts to challenge causation and damages—driving favorable settlements and results that materially reduce claimed damages, including in admitted-liability scenarios. Galloway transportation attorneys advise on coverage, extracontractual exposure, and manage commercial disputes among carriers, shippers, and brokers.
