Michigan Insurance Lawyer says Drivers Should Still Steer Clear of Insurance Company

As a no-fault insurance lawyer, I’m constantly asked by family, friends and people I meet for the first time about what Michigan auto insurance companies I personally like and recommend. After all, in the past 15 years, I’ve dealt with every insurance company in Michigan, and I’ve seen how they’ve treated hundreds of my clients.

As the only law firm handling truck accidents in Michigan, our lawyers want all Michigan drivers to know how dangerous bad trucks, unfit drivers, and rogue trucking companies have become. As of April 2009, there are now 1,072 Michigan trucking companies with less-than-satisfactory safety ratings, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). This means that about one in three trucks on Michigan roads currently have defective brakes, bad tires, loads that dangerously exceed weight limitations, and unfit drivers with little or no safety training.

And the shocking numbers of out-of-service and poorly maintained trucks is continuing to rise.

Last Wednesday, the U.S. Government Accountability office (GAO) released a new report on unsafe commercial trucks and buses that’s highly disturbing, even to the lawyers in our law firm, who have been handling truck accidents for more than 50 years. The report found that more than 500 trucking and bus companies that were ordered by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMSCA) to be shut down for safety violations are continuing to operate under different names.
