Benesch Partner Marc Blubaugh was featured in a recent article by FreightWaves, where he discusses the ongoing legal battle surrounding broker liability. In the piece, Blubaugh analyzes Total Quality Logistics’ (TQL) decision to seek a Supreme Court review despite a favorable appellate ruling. . His insights emphasize the broader implications for the industry, as the case could set a significant precedent in determining the scope of broker responsibility in freight transportation. “It is certainly unusual,” Marc Blubaugh, Co-Chair of the Transportation & Logistics Practice Group at Benesch , said in an email to FreightWaves. “The fact that TQL is willing to risk its victory by requesting review sends a strong signal that it has a great deal of confidence in the merits of its legal position. In short, TQL necessarily sees this as an opportunity to put the scope of the so-called safety exception under FAAAA to rest once and for all.”
