Christian & Small enjoys an established reputation as a preeminent commercial motor vehicle litigation law firm and practice group. Our attorneys have experience defending transportation companies in personal injury cases, cargo and property damage claims, employment matters, and workers’ compensation claims. We routinely provide regulatory advice based on the latest rule changes from state and federal departments of transportation, the Department of Homeland Security, the Surface Transportation Board, the National Highway Transportation and Safety Administration, and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
Our goal is to proactively help our clients assess risk and liability and reduce claim costs and the number of lawsuits. Our CMV Accident Response Team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to help transportation clients protect crucial evidence with a proven process. When a client contacts the 24/7 CMV Accident Response Team, our first call goes to the accident reconstruction expert and insurance adjuster closest to the scene. Our team documents the scene with photos, conducts interviews, obtains witness statements, gathers police and EMT reports and driver’s logs, and preserves the ECM.
A 24/7 CMV Accident Response team member can be reached at 1.866.846.4667.
