TIME: 1 p.m. EDT

Webinar

Weber Gallagher Partner Gary Stewart will present a webinar for the Trucking Industry Defense Association (TIDA) as part of its ongoing “Victories & Setbacks” series on September 10, 2026.

During the program, Gary will discuss a favorable verdict obtained on behalf of a national motor carrier following a five-day federal trial in Philadelphia. The presentation will examine the facts of the case, key discovery and trial issues, the defense strategy employed, and practical lessons learned from the litigation. The jury ultimately assigned 45% fault to the plaintiff and rejected punitive damages claims against both the driver and motor carrier. 

TIDA’s “Victories & Setbacks” series brings together defense attorneys and trucking industry claims professionals to share insights from recent trucking litigation and provide practical takeaways for defending transportation-related claims.
