These areas of liability include but are not limited to the liability of commercial motor carriers, their officers, agents, representatives, and employees responsible for the management, maintenance, operation, or driving of commercial motor vehicles, or the hiring, supervising, training, assigning, or dispatching of drivers.

Ramsdell has decades of experience analyzing, preparing, identifying, creating and implementing effective liability exhibits on specific areas of trucking industry violations in cases for plaintiffs, and their manner of use in order to be able to best communicate to anyone the trucking industry’s liability in each and every phase of trucking litigation. The consultant’s recommended communications and exhibits process starts with the investigation of the case, and continues through every phase of the litigation through and including depositions, settlement, trial and appeal.
The effective use of each of the consultant’s multiple and powerfully effective suggested liability exhibits, unique deposition communication methods and techniques, sequencing and order of evidence, the liability trial story, liability themes, and their use during every phase of the case, can serve to very clearly establish the trucking industry defendant’s liability, even in complex cases. The use of this process often helps to identify a defendant’s conscious or reckless disregard of trucking industry safety rules, regulations, standards, practices and procedures, as well as the identification of additional potential trucking industry defendants.
