Our transportation law bench, with more than 100 attorneys nationwide, seamlessly scales resources and draws from a network of experts when leading catastrophic injury, multiparty litigation, mass tort litigation, and class action lawsuits.

GRSM attorneys also advise on transactions, offering a wide range of legal services to providers and users of logistics and transportation services. We regularly counsel on regulations for operators, vehicles and infrastructure, as well as draft contracts of carriage, regulations and relations between carriers and passengers in public transport, shippers and cargo owners.

When an accident or incident occurs, time and access become critical factors. That’s why GRSM formed a 24/7 Rapid Response Team to serve clients, every day of the year, at whatever time an event occurs.

Based across multiple states to maximize coverage areas, our attorneys move quickly and strategically to manage catastrophic trucking and heavy equipment events. GRSM’s Rapid Response Team members can:

We have productive relationships with top experts in the field, allowing us to correspond with them to memorialize and record the accident scene in real time.

Transportation clients, including carriers, insurers, shippers, public entities and waste management groups, look to us for a quick assessment of an accident scene. A rapid, coordinated effort by experienced professionals can help make the difference between conceding liability and winning a defense verdict.
