Transportation

Our transportation attorneys represent clients locally, regionally and nationally on all types of matters. From trucking and shipping to aviation and cargo, our attorneys have successfully taken matters to jury trial.

The firm’s transportation attorneys defend our clients in personal injury, wrongful death, property loss and catastrophic injury cases. We also handle defense of cargo claims involving the Carmack Amendment and other theories of recovery under state law, often asserting applicable limitations of liability on behalf of motor carrier clients.

Evans & Dixon’s transportation attorneys help clients investigate catastrophic accidents by assembling an emergency response team of engineers, technicians and experts to protect investigation results. We rapidly address questionable areas to quickly evaluate any exposure following an accident.

Our attorneys participate in key transportation law organizations such as the Trucking Industry Defense Association, Transportation Lawyers Association, Missouri Pilots Association and the Aviation Advisory Committee for the Missouri Department of Transportation.
