IFP petition · Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Second Circuit, No. 56,722-CA · judgment December 17, 2025
Questions presented
-
Whether a state court may effectively nullify the federal MCS-90/BMC-91X financial-responsibility regime by treating a federally filed motor-carrier liability policy as irrelevant whenever the specific vehicle involved in the loss is not listed on the policy’s declarations page.
-
Whether the federal Motor Carrier Act and its implementing regulations impose an independent, public-protection obligation on insurers—regardless of scheduled-vehicle limitations—that state courts must recognize when adjudicating coverage disputes involving federally licensed motor carriers.
