Below, we've organized several sections of legal resources to inform truck accident injury victims about important legal rights, including time-sensitive information on securing important evidence in truck accident cases, help and advice.
Today, many larger trucking companies employ "rapid response teams" that arrive at the scene of a truck crash within hours - aiming to minimize damaging evidence, hamper legal investigations and avoid responsibility after they've caused preventable accidents. Michigan truck companies can also legally destroy critical evidence if they do not receive notice from an attorney to preserve it in time.

Our truck accident lawyers provide the most critical to-dos to ensure the best possible outcome for anyone suffering from a crash in Michigan, including what to do at the scene and how to file a lawsuit.

The lawyers of Michigan Auto Law also offer support for commercial truck drivers; from help for those who've been in serious truck accidents to insurance protection and safety tips.
When Motor Carriers Break the Law
There was a time when the requirements to be a truck driver were nothing more than a commercial truck and the willingness to drive it. But times have changed. So we're providing the nuts and bolts of Michigan's truck safety laws and regulations.
Help for Attorneys Handling Truck Accident Cases
When a commercial truck causes a serious accident in Michigan, there are state and federal laws that apply, which are different than those that apply to regular car accidents.

Steve looked tirelessly for more insurance after my girlfriend was killed in a truck crash… and he didn't charge me
My lawyer Steve Gursten came into my life under the most devastating circumstances. One day, my girlfriend was driving to pick me up from work when she ran out of gas on I-75. As she was putting gas in her car on the side of the highway, a semi-truck veered from its lane and hit and killed her.
My deceased girlfriend's family was not satisfied with the money the insurance adjuster was offering following the truck accident, so I called Michigan Auto Law to see if there were more No-Fault benefits available for her children. Steve Gursten looked tirelessly for more insurance and he did it out of kindness – he didn't charge me a dime.
I appreciated that so much.
Steve also treated me with dignity and he was always there to answer my questions. I would recommend this attorney for anybody who needs help with a truck accident in Michigan, because he is a polite man, a man of his word and he does what he says. You don't get that with most lawyers.
Most other lawyers wanted to take 33 percent or charge $200 an hour, and didn't even care if insurance was there.
Losing my girlfriend to a truck crash caused by a trucker who may have been asleep at the wheel was horrible. But at least now I had can lay my head on my pillow, knowing I did the right thing by getting all of the insurance possible for her family.
I wouldn't have been able to do this without Steve Gursten's generous help.
