Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
24-592 11th Cir. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2024

Issue: Whether a wrongful death or personal injury claim against a freight broker that is based on the broker’s negligent hiring of an unsafe motor carrier to provide motor vehicle transportation invokes the state’s safety regulatory authority “with respect to motor vehicles,” and, thus, falls within the safety exception to the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act.
