Legal and regulatory implications of Montgomery vs. Caribe Transport II, LLC

Join Marsh Transportation and Logistics experts for a webinar on the legal, operational, and insurance implications of the Montgomery v Caribe Supreme Court decision.

The recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II, LLC represents a turning point for how freight broker liability may be understood and litigated. In a unanimous ruling, the Court held that federal preemption under the FAAAA does not bar state negligent‑carrier selection claims—a development that accelerates existing market pressures around underwriting, litigation, and carrier governance.

This webinar—based on the content of our white paper—will unpack the ruling’s factual posture and reasoning, explain how the Court’s “safety exception” was applied, and translate those legal developments into practical guidance. We’ll review what the Supreme Court actually decided, clear up common misconceptions about the ruling, explore potential regulatory, market, and litigation implications, and outline next steps organizations should take to improve defensibility and preserve access to capacity.
