Legal Help For Michigan Truck Drivers Injured In Truck Accidents

Most truck drivers get a bad reputation because of the careless truckers that cause accidents on Michigan roads. But the truck accident lawyers of Michigan Auto Law realize the majority of semi-truck drivers do care about safety and follow the rules. We also realize that these truck drivers are often the ones who are seriously injured or killed in trucking accidents.

Most of the time, other drivers are at-fault in truck accidents. According to the National Traffic Safety Institute, in more than 60 percent of all fatal collisions involving cars and large trucks, law enforcement officials report that the automobile driver rather than the truck driver contributed to the cause of the collision.

Meanwhile, many truck drivers whose lives have been devastated by serious truck accidents caused by passenger cars do have additional protection but do not know it. Many commercial trucks have underinsurance policies with the employer trucking company, which will cover an injured driver. Often, a claim is never made because the truck driver is never told he is protected under the policy for his injuries and pain and suffering when another vehicle causes the accident.

If you are a truck driver that has been injured in a truck accident in Michigan, it's important to consult with an expert truck accident attorney who understands complicated insurance issues involved in truck accident cases, like uninsured and underinsurance coverage, and the complicated interplay between workers compensation insurance and no-fault automobile insurance.   If an attorney doesn't thoroughly understand all areas of the law, you might not get all of the legal benefits you are afforded.

On the other hand, there are many independent contractor truck drivers who are not properly insured, and unsure of what kind of insurance they have in the first place. Either way, Michigan Auto Law can help protect your rights and get you all of the benefits and compensation needed to make the best recovery possible.
