Trucking Industry Defense
Trucking accident litigation presents unique challenges and issues not commonly associated with typical motor vehicle accidents. Timberlake, Smith, Thomas & Moses has defended the trucking industry for over 50 years in personal injury claims, freight/cargo claims, and insurance coverage disputes. In addition, we have defended trucking companies and their insurers against claims of negligent hiring and supervision; negligent maintenance claims; and issues arising from government regulation.
J. Ross Newell, III, leads the trucking industry defense team with over 19 years of experience successfully defending personal injury cases arising out of accidents involving motor vehicles, trucks, and tractor-trailers. Mr. Newell was named to Virginia Business magazine's "2005 Legal Elite." He was the only attorney in the central Shenandoah Valley named in the Transportation, Admiralty, Intermodal practice area and one of only 25 attorneys selected statewide for this distinction. With its strategic location along Interstate 81 (I-81) near the intersections with Interstate 64 (I-64), Timberlake, Smith, Thomas & Moses is positioned to respond rapidly and efficiently to emergency situations when investigation and inspections are crucial to successful defense strategies. We work closely with accident reconstructionists and can participate in Department of Transportation investigations and inspections.
Timberlake Smith, Thomas & Moses provides defense representation in both Virginia state courts and federal courts in the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia.
