Michigan Truck Accident Lawyers: Detroit Flint Lansing Ann Arbor Grand Rapids
Even if you just casually watch the television news or read the local paper, you cannot help but notice the increase in the number of reported Michigan truck accidents on our roads and highways. Most often, the results are tragic for the passengers of the cars involved in the accident with the semi-tractor trailer truck. There are many common causes of these truck accidents, which include defects in the truck equipment, improper training of truck drivers, and other corporate trucking policies.
The most common causes of these truck accidents include:
Overloaded trucks
Oversized trucks
Poor maintenance and defective equipment
Truck driver error
Poorly maintained tires
Reckless driving
Truck driver fatigue
Unsafe safety systems, like reflectors and warning devices
There are strict federal regulations and requirements that apply to truck drivers and trucking companies. The laws require that detailed log sheets be maintained for truck maintenance, driver safety, and driving logs of individual truck drivers. These logs and records are often used by my firm to establish the negligence and liability against the truck driver and the trucking company in a truck accident lawsuit.
It it essential to contact an attorney immediately after a trucking accident to preserve evidence, take photographs, and interview witnesses to the accident. The failure to act quickly often makes it difficult to prove and win a case later on because witnesses become difficult to locate, vehicles are repaired, and evidence is lost. My firm starts our investigation immediately after being contacted by a truck accident victim and we take every possible measure to determine the cause of the accident and assess the fault of the truck driver and trucking company.
