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.

SafeNY Underinsured Flag

Insurance coverage falls short of P90 fatal verdict estimate.

Policy limit on file: $15M. Statistical P90 fatal verdict in carrier's domicile state: $17.5M. SafeNY Coverage Gap: approximately $2.5M.

Modest coverage gap of $2.5M; coverage may be adequate for typical case profiles but insufficient at the P90 fatal scenario.

When carrier insurance is insufficient at P90, recovery to full damages typically requires a multi-defendant strategy — pursuing the freight broker, shipper, or maintenance contractor as co-defendants alongside the motor carrier itself.

Night-driving crash pattern

The SafeNY Night-Driving Pattern: of 78 documented crashes in the past 5 years, 23 occurred in dark conditions (no street lighting, partial lighting, or unknown roadway lighting). That's 29.5% of this carrier's crashes vs the FMCSA dataset baseline of 25.7%.

29.5% dark-condition share consistent with national baseline (25.7%); no significant deviation detected.

Method: One-sample binomial test against 25.7% baseline (FMCSA SMS Crash File 2026-04 Snapshot, n≈259k national records). p = 0.444. Dark-condition driving is regulated under 49 CFR § 392.14 (hazardous conditions); federal Hours-of-Service rules at 49 CFR § 395 limit consecutive driving hours and overlap with night-driving fatigue management.

Risk decomposition

Five-factor breakdown of the SafeNY SNRS for this carrier, used to explain the composite score.

Driven primarily by C-factor (crash rate) at 9.2/10, above the large-cohort median of 4.8.

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

The five factors below come from New Line Transport LLC'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 78 documented crashes in the past 5 years (1 fatal). The cohort prior (mean fatal rate for similar-sized fleets) is 0.272 events per million power-unit-days; after Bayesian shrinkage with prior strength w₀ = 10, this carrier's adjusted rate is 0.273.

r^shrunk  =  10⋅0.272  +  7810  +  exposureM-PUD  =  0.273\hat{r}_{\text{shrunk}} \;=\; \frac{10 \cdot 0.272 \;+\; 78}{10 \;+\; \text{exposure}_{\text{M-PUD}}} \;=\; 0.273

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

SNRSraw  =  0.60⋅max⁡(C,N,M)  +  0.30⋅median⁡(C,N,M,D)  +  0.10⋅SSNRS_{raw} \;=\; 0.60 \cdot \max(C, N, M) \;+\; 0.30 \cdot \operatorname{median}(C, N, M, D) \;+\; 0.10 \cdot S
  =  0.60⋅max⁡(9.2,3.9,4.1)  +  0.30⋅median⁡(9.2,3.9,4.1,1.2)  +  0.10⋅0.0  =  6.8\quad\;=\; 0.60 \cdot \max(9.2, 3.9, 4.1) \;+\; 0.30 \cdot \operatorname{median}(9.2, 3.9, 4.1, 1.2) \;+\; 0.10 \cdot 0.0 \;=\; 6.8

C Crash 9.2 · N Negligence 3.9 · M Mechanical 4.1 · D Driver 1.2 · S Stability 0.0

Step 3 — EMA smoothing against last month's value

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

For New Line Transport LLC: SNRSraw = 6.8 → smoothed SNRS = 6.8. (Prior month's smoothed value is the EMA weight; the first month of data uses raw without smoothing.)
