C.H. Robinson Faces $604 Million Verdict: Vicarious Liability and Negligent Hiring Reshape Broker Risk After Deadly Crash
A Dallas County jury awarded $604 million in a lawsuit against C.H. Robinson, Lupus Superior, and a driver after a 2021 crash killed three people. The jury found C.H. Robinson 23% at fault but also determined the driver was a 'borrowed employee' of the broker, opening the door to full vicarious liability. The verdict follows recent court decisions that could reshape liability for freight brokers. C.H. Robinson has said it will appeal.
