C.H. Robinson appeals $604 million judgment in fatal truck crash case

C.H. Robinson is appealing a $604 million judgment in Lipe v. Lupus Superior; the judge affirmed the jury’s ruling. The jury held the freight broker, carrier and driver liable for a 2021 crash that killed four people, including the driver. The broker disputes liability, arguing it did not employ or control the driver and selected a carrier with the highest federal safety rating. The appeals process could overturn, reduce or modify the award; the current judgment does not determine the broker’s ultimate payment.
