The firm has significant experience in handling cases involving trucking and transportation liability in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. A combination of expertise, geographical coverage and cost sensitivity make us particularly suited to handle cases in this practice area. The head of the Transportation Litigation practice group, Joseph Goldberg, is a member of the Trucking Industry Defense Association and an active participant in ongoing education and training in the field.
An area of strength for this practice group is defending clients in complex tort litigation and catastrophic losses arising out of all types of common carrier and private carrier accidents. Our attorneys are keenly aware of the complexity of such matters. With experience in handling cases for large common carrier transportation fleets engaged in interstate trucking, bus operators, shuttle operators, rental vehicle fleets, ambulance services and taxi cabs, our range of expertise is a benefit to any case of these types.
Our attorneys also have extensive experience working with accident reconstruction specialists, computer animators, compliance experts, "black box" experts and tire experts.
Several of our clients have large self-insured retentions which necessitate close monitoring of legal costs and expenses. In keeping with our firm's philosophy of cost sensitivity, we maintain competitive rates through a practical, result-oriented approach to each case.
Our Transportation Litigation practice group is chaired by Joseph Goldberg, who can be reached at 215.825.7225 or jgoldberg@wglaw.com.
