Cargo Crackdown: How Montgomery v. Caribe Changed Broker Liability

Freight brokers have long escaped liability for cargo theft by pointing the finger at carriers — but the Supreme Court's unanimous decision in Montgomery v. Caribe just changed the rules. In this episode, host Ashton Kirsch sits down with MWL's very own cargo subrogation attorney, Lance Jones, to break down what the ruling actually means, why framing your claim around motor vehicle safety is now everything, and how practitioners can pursue brokers in ways that simply weren't viable before. They also dig into the growing crisis of AI-assisted fraud, identity theft in the trucking industry, and what brokers need to do right now to protect themselves in a post-Montgomery world.
