Summary

The FAIR Trucking Act amends federal law to give U.S. district courts original jurisdiction over certain highway accident lawsuits against interstate motor carriers. It adds a new subsection to the federal diversity jurisdiction statute, allowing federal courts to hear civil actions involving bodily harm or death from commercial motor vehicle accidents on public roads in interstate commerce, where the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000 and the parties are from different states or include foreign entities. The bill specifies that plaintiff citizenship is determined at the time of filing or when federal jurisdiction is first indicated, and treats unincorporated associations as citizens of their principal place of business and state of organization.
