When Fleet Goes to Court (And When It Doesn’t)

If you are an organization that manages vehicles — from small sedans for the sales team to heavy-duty trucks for
interstate transport — you’re going to have to contend with a crash. Even the most conscientious company is at risk because, after all, they are sharing the roads with others who may not be.

Shari Goggin, Senior Litigation Counsel at Fee, Smith, Sharp and Vitullo LLP, knows this well. As an attorney, she has represented many companies from the investigation stage through jury verdict and appeal up to and including the Illinois Supreme Court and U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
