Legal Guidance that Goes the Distance
Strategic Legal Support for Trucking & Logistics
The transportation industry moves America forward, but it also operates under complex regulations, high-stakes liability, and ever-changing risks. From carrier agreements and DOT compliance to accident claims defense and risk management, trucking businesses need trusted legal counsel to mitigate risks and keep operations running smoothly.
For over 30 years, Danna McKitrick has represented motor carriers, over-the-road haulers, and transportation insurers across the central U.S. We understand the challenges unique to your industry, from owner-operator agreements and loss prevention strategies to complex liability claims, and we provide tailored legal solutions to protect your business, drivers, and bottom line.
Are Your Contracts Protecting Your Business?
Strong contracts are essential in transportation, but too often, agreements don’t account for the realities of the industry. Poorly structured contracts can leave companies exposed to liability, compliance failures, and disputes over payment, responsibility, and coverage.
We help motor carriers, owner-operators, and logistics providers with:
- Carrier & owner-operator agreements to define responsibilities and reduce disputes.
- Equipment leasing contracts that align with DOT and FMCSA regulations.
- Indemnity & liability clauses that protect against unnecessary risk.
- Insurance coverage & policy negotiations to secure the right coverage.
With airtight agreements, you can focus on moving freight, not fighting legal battles.
Managing Liability & Claims Defense
Trucking accidents and cargo disputes can lead to high-stakes liability claims that threaten profitability and reputation. Our attorneys provide aggressive defense against claims involving:
- Trucking accidents with personal injury or property damage
- Cargo loss or damage disputes
- Third-party injury or negligence claims
- Liability and coverage disputes between carriers and insurers
When claims arise, we analyze case facts, build a strong defense, and fight to reduce losses. With decades of experience in transportation litigation, we help businesses manage risk and minimize financial exposure.
Staying Ahead of Compliance & Risk Management
The transportation industry faces constant regulatory shifts and evolving legal challenges. Our attorneys help businesses mitigate risk, maintain compliance, and improve loss prevention strategies by advising on:
- Carrier liability & loss prevention policies
- Regulatory obligations & safety standards
- Personnel & employment concerns related to trucking operations
By taking a proactive approach, we help transportation companies stay ahead of legal risks before they escalate into costly fines or lawsuits.
