Michigan HB6286 allows negligence claims against freight brokers for injuries caused by unfit employees or contractors.
Michigan HB6286 permits injured parties to sue freight brokers for damages if the broker hired, retained, supervised, or trained an employee or contractor with a particular unfitness that caused the injury. The broker must know or should know about the unfitness and it must be foreseeable to cause injury. This does not apply if the damages result from a vehicle for which tort liability is abolished.
