SNRS is a decision-support score for legal-case evaluation. Statistical estimate only — not legal advice and not evidence of liability. See methodology.

If you were involved in a crash with this carrier, the data below may help you understand whether your case warrants legal attention. The lead form at the bottom of this page can connect you to an attorney specialist for case-specific evaluation.

Insurance & coverage

No federal BIPD insurance filing exists on record for this carrier.

49 CFR § 387 requires interstate motor carriers to maintain active bodily injury & property damage (BIPD) coverage. The absence of a filing in the FMCSA L&I database may indicate:

Operation without required federal insurance coverage
Policy lapsed and not yet renewed
Carrier operates intrastate only (federal filing not required)
Filing is recent and pending database refresh

For attorney case evaluation: verifying current coverage status directly through FMCSA's L&I lookup is recommended before proceeding.

Risk decomposition

Method: how this carrier's SafeNY SNRS was computed(expand for carrier-specific walkthrough)

The five factors below come from Elite Transport Group Inc's actual FMCSA records. Each factor is a 0–10 score; the composition produces a 0–10 SNRS smoothed against the prior month's value (α = 0.40). The Bayesian step below leaves exposure_M-PUD symbolic; the closed-form denominator and a worked example are on /methodology#shrinkage.

Step 1 — Bayesian-shrunk crash rate

This carrier has 3 documented crashes in the past 5 years (1 fatal). The cohort prior (mean fatal rate for similar-sized fleets) is 0.317 events per million power-unit-days; after Bayesian shrinkage with prior strength w₀ = 10, this carrier's adjusted rate is 0.393.

\hat{r}_{\text{shrunk}} \;=\; \frac{10 \cdot 0.317 \;+\; 3}{10 \;+\; \text{exposure}_{\text{M-PUD}}} \;=\; 0.393

Step 2 — Five-factor SNRS_raw composition (B-method)

SNRS_{raw} \;=\; 0.60 \cdot \max(C, N, M) \;+\; 0.30 \cdot \operatorname{median}(C, N, M, D) \;+\; 0.10 \cdot S

\quad\;=\; 0.60 \cdot \max(9.7, 2.0, 4.4) \;+\; 0.30 \cdot \operatorname{median}(9.7, 2.0, 4.4, 0.0) \;+\; 0.10 \cdot 1.4 \;=\; 6.9

C Crash 9.7 · N Negligence 2.0 · M Mechanical 4.4 · D Driver 0.0 · S Stability 1.4

Step 3 — EMA smoothing against last month's value

SNRS \;=\; \alpha \cdot SNRS_{raw} \;+\; (1-\alpha) \cdot SNRS_{\text{prev}}, \quad \alpha = 0.40

For Elite Transport Group Inc: SNRS_raw = 6.9 → smoothed SNRS = 6.9. (Prior month's smoothed value is the EMA weight; the first month of data uses raw without smoothing.)
