| 摘要： | State and local transportation agencies are experiencing a dramatic increase in tort litigation involving claims for personal injury and property damage. The single greatest reason for the explosion of claims against state and local transportation agencies over the last 50 years has been the abolition of the doctrine of sovereign immunity by most states. Public entities' exposure to tort liability has increased as the practical science of transportation engineering has improved, resulting in greater public expectations from government. The most significant effect on the practice of transportation tort law in the 21st century is expected to come from technology and innovations in the use of technology. They will present new issues and challenges for the transportation lawyer. Some of those issues will arise when new technology is implemented, and others will arise when the innovation or technology fails and a loss results. The transportation tort lawyer must develop new methods of practice to address these issues and new ways to use existing and emerging technology in the accessibility of information, experts, and legal authority, as well as new and emerging technology in the organization and presentation of the facts and information needed to represent the transportation agency. |
