Do You Have A Michigan Truck Accident Case?

Have you been injured in an accident with a truck? Are you living with pain and suffering as a result of a semi-truck driver’s negligent driving? Were you involved in a collision with a tractor-trailer? You are not alone.

Federal and Michigan state laws attempt to reduce the number of semi-truck collisions that occur each year. The legislature mandates the number of hours tractor-trailer truck drivers may operate big rigs in one day, and also how much a semi-truck driver may drive in one week. Also, eighteen wheeler drivers must follow certain speed limits on the highway, and can only pass other vehicles at a particular speed. If the truck is carrying materials between two states, federal law mandates that the company must have at least $750,000 in liability insurance. Although federal and state statutes regulate truck driving, accidents involving trucks still occur.

You may be entitled to recover from more than just the negligent tractor-trailer truck driver causing the collision. The trucking company may be vicariously liable for the actions of the tractor-trailer truck driver through the legal concept of respondeat superior. Further, if the truck is leased, the lessee may be liable. A negligent design of the injury-causing tractor-trailer truck will result in a products liability case against the semi-truck manufacturer. Michigan truck accident lawyer Michael Morse will maximize your recovery for the injuries you sustain in a Michigan truck accident.

If a Michigan trucking company fails to follow the federal and state regulations, the consequences can be deadly. Trucking companies often face tight timelines and strict demands of customers to deliver cargo. Tractor-trailer truck drivers often will rush to make deliveries, disregarding the traffic laws pertaining to Michigan big rigs. The truck driver’s negligence causes crashes and jackknifed semi-trucks, leaving auto-accident victims with serious bodily injuries. Worse yet, some collisions with Michigan tractor-trailer trucks result in death. Attorney Michael Morse will file a lawsuit to get you compensation for personal injuries or wrongful death resulting from a Michigan trucking accident.

Just like other accidents, Michigan tractor-trailer trucking collisions may be caused by careless big rig driving, defective or improperly repaired tractor-trailer equipment, hazardous road conditions, spilled cargo loads, intoxicated semi truck drivers and even truck drivers falling asleep at the wheel of 80,000 pound trucks. By sheer size comparison, a crash with a truck, be it with another truck, car, or pedestrian is more likely to cause serious lasting injuries than a normal “car on car” accident. Michigan tractor trailer trucking accidents result in more deaths than others. With such serious consequences, victims of Michigan trucking accidents can file a lawsuit and may recover for pain an suffering, wrongful death, personal injury, and economic losses caused by the accident.
