The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously on May 14 that a man who lost a leg in a traffic accident may sue the logistics company that was involved in hiring the truck driver who hit him.
Justices held that federal law does not insulate freight brokers from state negligence lawsuits when they contract unsafe trucking companies.
