Trucking & Commercial Transportation Negligence
Hurwitz Fine P.C. has extensive experience providing fast and effective responses to claims of transportation negligence. We are networked nationally and situated locally to promptly put forensic experts and photographers on the scene to preserve evidence, interview witnesses, and lay the foundation to mount the best possible defense. We are very familiar with the processes necessary for assuring compliance with federal and state regulations. Our defense arsenal includes decades worth of relationships developed with engineers and investigators.
The firm is experienced in representing clients in matters defending incidents in:
- Trucking
- Common Carrier

The firm also has extensive experience representing international freight carriers, interstate commodity carriers, regional and local trucking companies, delivery companies, and independent owner/operators, as well as corporations that operate large truck fleets, in personal agency freight and property damage litigation, as well as in investigative hearings conducted by the New York State Department of Transportation.
Our team includes attorneys with deep industry involvement, such as Team Leader Brian M. Webb, who is a member of the Trucking Industry Defense Association (TIDA)—a leading organization of attorneys, insurance professionals, and trucking experts across the U.S. and Canada. Membership in TIDA reflects Mr. Webb’s significant experience in trucking insurance defense and underscores our commitment to staying at the forefront of developments in transportation law.
In addition, we represent many passenger common carrier clients in transportation negligence claims involving buses, trolleys, rapid transit systems, limousines and taxi services, either directly or through their liability carriers.
