Flint Truck Accident Victim Resources

With Michigan having the fifth highest number of truck accident injuries and fatalities in the country, Flint drivers understand how the law works with accidents involving trucks.

There are crucial differences that separate truck accident cases from other types of Michigan auto negligence accident cases. Specific federal and state laws apply to truck accident injury cases that do not apply to other types of injury accident cases.

How are truck accidents different? There are some key factors that require an experienced attorney who has handled Michigan truck accidents and the special laws that apply:

Many trucks have serious safety violations: A compilation of inspection data shows that nearly one in four trucks (23.7 percent) have serious safety violations.

Liability after a truck accident may also be the result of someone other than the truck driver: Truck manufacturers, distributors, suppliers or retailers supplying defective parts can also be liable under Michigan law for injuries or deaths they cause after an accident.

Large Michigan tractor-trailer trucks: Crashes involving large trucks are more likely to result in serious personal injury and wrongful death than are car accidents. It is estimated that nearly 10 percent of people involved in a Michigan truck accident will be killed.
