Creed & Gowdy’s client wins case in the Second District Court of Appeal

On October 22, 2025, Creed & Gowdy's client won an appeal in the Second DCA. This appeal concerned whether the lower court erred in granting the Appellees Coyote Logistics, LLC's motion for final judgment based on its finding that the Estate's claims were preempted by the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act (the FAAAA) and that the FAAAA's safety exception does not save the claims from preemption. The Second District found that, because the Estate's claims against the Appellee implicated the "safety regulatory authority of a State with respect to motor vehicles", the safety exception does protect Appellant's claims from federal preemption and reversed and remanded the decision.
