A Dallas County jury has found freight broker C.H. Robinson 23% responsible in a $604 million verdict over a fatal 2021 crash on Interstate 20 in Mississippi. The jury determined that truck driver Gorgonio Gonzalez was a borrowed employee of C.H. Robinson, opening the door to full vicarious liability for his negligence, which could multiply the broker's financial exposure beyond its assigned percentage. The crash, involving a tractor-trailer operated by Lupus Superior, killed three people and injured two others. The verdict follows recent U.S. Supreme Court and Texas Supreme Court rulings that reshape liability for brokers, with C.H. Robinson announcing it will appeal.
