Editor's Welcome
Hello and welcome to the April 2026 edition of Lewis Brisbois' Transportation Law Update. In this newsletter, we highlight major transportation law updates that have arisen in the months since our last edition.
First, Houston Partner Kris Stockberger calls attention to situations where freight brokers should be looking for their own independent counsel to protect their interests in litigation, and handle any issues with insurance coverage that may arise.
Next, New Orleans Partner Lee M. Peacocke and Associate Benjamin Perkins outline the recent tort reform legislation enacted in Louisiana. Their article highlights the changes most relevant to claims brought by plaintiffs against motor carriers and how these changes impact litigants.
