Chicago-area Freight Charge Collection and Defense attorney

Shipping and transporting freight in commerce has regulations that govern the invoicing and collection of the fees charged in collection. Invoices must be submitted and payment is required within a certain time frame.

Suits for freight charge collection have a different timetable than those for ordinary invoices. For example, a written contract outside of the trucking industry has a statue of limitations of up to ten years, which means that the contract is good for that entire time. However, contracts for transportation of interstate freight may only have a statue of limitation of 18 months.

Because of the complex nature of freight charge collection, you need a skilled Illinois transportation attorney who has the experience and knowledge to save you money and unneeded headaches. Marc J. Blumenthal has saved his clients hundreds of thousands of dollars in disputed collection claims.
