Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to highway agency administrative and executive officers, risk managers, legal officials, as well as to highway design, traffic, and safety engineers, enforcement agency personnel, claims managers, and others concerned with managing tort liability programs in state transportation agencies. It describes the state of the practice with respect to the manner in which these agencies manage highway tort liability programs. Management of claims associated with highways, streets, and pedestrian facilities is the focus of this synthesis, which describes program elements, costs, staffing, risk avoidance, and management requirements. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the design and implementation of procedures and techniques to manage tort liability programs. Much of the material in this synthesis is also applicable to managing risks associated with modes other than highways within the state transportation agency. There is also applicability to local highway agencies, toll authorities, and public transit agencies.

This book was released on 1988 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) faces a growing tort liability problem. Under the Virginia Tort Claims Act, VOOT is liable for up to $75,000 for negligent or wrongful acts or omissions committed by its employees within the scope of their employment. VOOT must also pay judgments rendered against its employees as individuals for acts of negligence committed within the scope of their employment. In many cases, sovereign immunity will protect VOOT employees from tort claims. However, courts are increasingly willing to find state employees liable for negligent acts or omissions. To control future liability exposure, VDOT must develop a program to reduce the risk of tort liability. A comprehensive risk management system would attack the problem at three points. First, by making the roadways safer, the number of claims would be held to a minimum. Second, by improving VDOT's ability to defend tort claims, the number of claims paid and amounts awarded would be held to aminimum. Finally, by quickly settling claims that VDOT will inevitably lose and by setting aside money to pay such claims, a risk management program would assure that VDOT is prepared for unavoidable tort liability. This report documents the findings of the initial phase of VDOT's effort to develop a comprehensive risk management system. The purpose of this phase was to assess VDOT's exposure to tort liability and to describe existing efforts forcontrolling risk. In subsequent phases, the findings discussed herein will be used to design and implement improvements in VDOT's existing risk management efforts. VDOT's risk-causing activities include the design, construction, and maintenance of roadways. Claims alleging negligent maintenance are the most frequently filed, but only 13 percent of these claims are paid. The low success rate of these claimants indicates that VDOT is effectively responding to roadway defects even though there are currently no formalized procedures for ensuring an effective response. VDOT obtains information about roadway defects from many sources. However, there are no uniform policies for collecting such information or for agency-wide distribution of the important information produced by these various sources. VDOT attempts to transfer some risks to contractors and consultants through indemnity and insurance agreements. Risks that cannot be prevented or transferred are assumed through self-insurance.

Book excerpt: In the early 21st century, the private commercial space transportation industry demonstrated that commercial human space transportation is both technologically and economically feasible. In 2004, the United States Congress responded by passing legislation authorizing the Department of Transportation to license commercial human space flight. Today, the U.S. commercial human space flight (CHSF) industry is developing launch vehicles that will carry paying participants on suborbital flights. Licenses have been granted by the DOT to test this experimental vehicle technology and in it anticipated that CHSF vehicles carrying space flight participants will enter into operation in the near future. As CHSF vehicles begin operation, questions of tort liability and risk management will need to be addressed. To that end, this article examines U.S. tort liability law within the paradigm of a potential commercial human space flight (CHSF) vehicle accident. Given the extensive nature of tort law this section focuses on negligence, strict liability for third party damage, and products liability as it relates to CHSF operators, pilots/crew, space flight participants (SFP), and vehicle manufacturers. Analogies are drawn from aviation and adventure sports/tourism for assessment of potential causes of action, defendants, plaintiffs and applicable standards of care. The role of U.S. state law and recent state legislative initiatives regarding tort liability are examined and assessed. Whether strict liability for third party damage should be imposed on CHSF operators is evaluated. Reciprocal cross-waivers of liability and informed consent provisions established by federal law are discussed within the context of tort defense. CHSF operators, pilots/crew, SFP, and vehicle manufacturers are advised to protect against economic loss attributable to likely tort liability resulting from a CHSF vehicle accident. Finally, proposals for legal reform in the area of CHSF tort liability are given.The potential CHSF vehicle accident discussed in this article is presumed to have occurred within the United States on a flight that departs and arrives from points within the United States. The reason for this presumption is to limit the scope of accident analysis to U.S domestic tort law. The role of international law in the event of an international accident is given credence and addressed, although briefly.
