CH Robinson Worldwide IncCEO says the company is working with FMCSA and lobbying Washington to establish a liability standard after the Lipe nuclear verdict.
At Citi's Global TMT Conference in New York, C.H. Robinson CEO Dave Bozeman and CFO Damon Lee addressed the company's legal and insurance outlook, with the Lipe nuclear verdict and the Supreme Court decision in Montgomery vs. Caribe Transport II in the background. Lee reiterated confidence in prevailing on appeal, noting that 98% of cases are dismissed or settled, and that insurance costs are expected to rise by a manageable number, mostly passed through to consumers. Bozeman said the company is working with FMCSA to establish a standard through the Department of Transportation and will lobby in Washington next week. The company's stock, which fell after the verdict, has recovered somewhat, and Citi upgraded its rating to buy, expecting a less severe final judgment.
