What is a Common Carrier?
A common carrier refers to an individual or company that engages in the commercial transportation of goods and people for a fee. Waste removal companies, trucking companies, couriers, towing service companies, taxi services, and freight services are examples of common carriers.
Common carriers are responsible for loss or damages that occur during the transportation of goods and people.
There are attorneys that specialize in the law for motor common carriers like trucking companies. Sometimes these attorneys will also specialize as a car accident attorney.”
