Our trial lawyers stepped in to help another law firm from Louisiana prepare and try a commercial litigation case based on breach of contract, fraudulent inducement to contract, tortious interference with contract, and fraudulent inducement to remain in the contract.  The major trucking company UV Logistics, a major oil and gas trucking company, never offered a dime to resolve the claims of our client after terminating his contract without the required 30 days’ notice.  The terminal operator agreement required a 30-day notice to terminate the contract which would have provided our client an opportunity to take his business elsewhere and set up logistic systems.  The claim was based on an independent terminal operating agreement with UV Logistics in the Marcellus Shale region of Pennsylvania.  Our client was used to recruit truck drivers to sign on with UV Logistics who had floundering company owned terminal in the region.  Once the terminal was generating millions of dollars a year in revenue, our client was cut out of the deal so they could earn more profit by cutting his commissions from their margins.  The truck drivers were recruited to change terminals to their company owned terminal and lies were spread about our client to tarnish his reputation in the business.  At trial, the jury returned a verdict in favor of our client for $450,000.00 for past lost profits on a finding of fraudulent inducement to remain in a contract. Client will net this amount minus $180,000 attorney’s fees & approximately $30,000 in care expenses.
