The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a man injured by a speeding truck in 2017 can sue the country's largest freight broker, C.H. Robinson Worldwide (CHRW). Freight brokers act as intermediaries between businesses that need goods shipped and the trucking companies that provide that service.

## **Brokers Can Be Held Liable**

The court's ruling means that freight brokers can be held liable for injuries and other damages that occur in the performance of their business activities, including for the actions of the trucking outfits they recommend.

C.H. Robinson Worldwide initially fell sharply on the news and traded below its 200-day moving average (red) for the first time this year. The stock recovered to lose just 2% on the day.
