The ongoing legal battle involving Werner Enterprises is under scrutiny as oral arguments were presented before the Texas Supreme Court regarding a nuclear verdict against the company. The case stems from a significant judgment related to a crash that occurred a decade ago. During the proceedings, Werner's attorney emphasized practical considerations over legal technicalities, arguing that the trucking company should not be held liable for the incident, which involved a vehicle crossing a median. The justices' questions during the 40-minute session were noted as difficult to interpret, leaving the potential outcome uncertain. In a separate matter, Yellow Corp. is contesting a $137 million lawsuit dismissal against the Teamsters, urging the Tenth Circuit not to heed the union's arguments for upholding the lower court's decision.
I listened to the oral arguments online today in the $WERN case before the Texas Supreme Court. OK, it was only 40 minutes. The justices' questions were hard to read if you were trying to figure out which way they're leaning. No real indication. #trucking https://t.co/FtFnTZywi4
