We Resolve Disputes Before They Derail Deliveries

At LS Carlson Law, we understand that a single claim—whether it’s cargo damage, a sudden breach of contract, or a ransomware attack—can bring operations to a standstill and jeopardize your ability to meet obligations to shippers, vendors, and other third-party partners. Our attorneys work exclusively with the businesses that keep freight moving: motor carriers, freight forwarders, intermodal operators, third-party logistics providers, and warehousing companies. We act swiftly to preserve critical evidence, assess downstream contractual risk, and implement a litigation strategy that protects your commercial relationships, your bottom line, and your reputation.

Our goal is to minimize exposure while keeping your operations moving.

We handle complex disputes involving broken transportation agreements, from underpaid rate claims and missed service levels to high-stakes indemnity battles between carriers, brokers, and shippers. Our team scrutinizes contract language, shipping documentation, and industry standards to build a strong liability defense or assert your right to payment. Whether the issue is late delivery penalties or ambiguous liability clauses, we resolve it with precision and urgency.

We defend transportation companies facing enforcement actions and compliance audits from agencies like the FMCSA, DOT, CPUC, and CARB. Whether it's a notice of violation, out-of-service order, or looming fine, we act fast to challenge the allegations, negotiate with regulators, and mitigate penalties. Our in-depth knowledge of transportation regulations allows us to identify procedural flaws, defend your record, and keep your fleet operational while safeguarding your long-term compliance profile.

We help you contain the damage, protect sensitive data, and recover losses tied to disrupted freight flows and regulatory exposure.

We defend motor carriers and logistics operators in high-exposure cases involving serious personal injury, extensive property damage, and wrongful death.

With deep experience in transportation liability and trial advocacy, we protect your business from reputational harm and financial devastation.

We represent warehousing operators and third-party logistics providers in disputes involving damaged goods, improper storage, cross-docking mishaps, and contested freight liens.

Our goal is to resolve these issues efficiently, preserving key commercial relationships while minimizing operational fallout.

We fight on behalf of transportation companies in complex insurance disputes involving MCS-90 endorsements, motor truck cargo policies, contingent auto coverage, and general liability claims. When insurers deny coverage, delay payment, or attempt to shift responsibility, we step in to enforce your rights under the policy. Our attorneys understand the nuances of freight-related insurance and aggressively pursue the coverage you paid for—whether through negotiation, litigation, or bad faith claims when necessary.

We handle complex transportation disputes involving cargo that moves across borders and through multiple modes—ocean, rail, air, and truck. These cases often involve conflicting legal regimes, jurisdictional challenges, and overlapping liability among carriers, NVOCCs, and freight forwarders. Our team is skilled at untangling multimodal contracts, navigating treaties like COGSA and the Montreal Convention, and ensuring your interests are protected throughout the entire logistics chain. Whether it’s a customs delay or a misrouted shipment, we resolve it swiftly and strategically.
