Trucking accidents are responsible for countless injuries and deaths across the United States each year. Due to their high speeds, limited visibility, enormous size, and long hours on the road, semi-trucks create a dangerous hazard for other vehicles on the road. At Garrison Law, our skilled Michigan truck accident attorneys have handled numerous cases in Michigan and across the country, using our years of experience to help clients who have been injured in truck accidents. Contact our office today to schedule a free consultation.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TRUCK ACCIDENT AND AN AUTO ACCIDENT

Your truck accident attorney should treat your truck accident claim differently than a standard automobile accident. Aside from being larger than a regular vehicle or SUV, the injuries and legal issues involved in a trucking accident are magnified. Truck accidents usually involve significant damages, complex liability issues, and multiple injured parties. At Garrison Law we understand that truck accidents can have life-altering consequences for victims and their families. We will use our team of experienced attorneys and legal professionals to help you obtain the recovery you are owed so you can focus on getting the proper medical treatment you need.

Commercial truck drivers traveling through Michigan are subject to heightened laws and safeguards put in place to protect motorists. Truck accidents often involve multiple cars and high speeds due to their frequent travel on highways, four-lane roads, and interstates. Because trucks are more likely to cause extensive damage and catastrophic injuries when a driver is negligent, both state and federal laws provide rigorous guidelines to try and prevent truck accidents from occurring.

Common Types of Trucking Accidents

Trucking accidents include any accident in which a large truck was involved, including:

• Tractor-trailers
• 18-wheelers
• Farm equipment
• Big rigs
• Semi-trucks
• Commercial vans

All have the possibility of causing significant destruction and can expose operating companies to significant financial liability when someone is negligent. At Garrison Law our skilled attorneys have years of experience assisting individuals and families who have been seriously injured from truck accidents caused by negligence. Our team will evaluate the individual details of your situation to establish liability, and pursue the highest compensation you are owed for your injuries.

The following are all common causes of trucking accidents that may be caused by negligence:

• Drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Driver fatigue, speeding, and distractions
• Companies with unreasonable driving schedules
• Trucks that are overloaded
• Insufficient commercial driver training
• Vehicle and equipment defects

Trucking accidents can be complex matters given the number of parties involved, potentially catastrophic injuries, and the federal and state laws that govern commercial trucking. We have in-depth knowledge and experience in the area of truck accident litigation, and the resources to build a strong case on your behalf. At Garrison Law our firm will evaluate the details of your case, determine whether the driver and potentially the trucking company may be at fault, and pursue the damages you deserve.

POTENTIAL INJURIES FROM TRUCK ACCIDENTS

In truck accidents, injuries can range from relatively minor to catastrophic, and potentially wrongful death. Due to their size and general high rates of speed, the chances of severe injury are higher when a commercial truck collides with a standard-sized vehicle. Head and neck injuries, broken bones, and soft tissue injuries are all likely to be more serious when a large truck is involved. Injuries from truck accidents can include:

• Head injuries
• Neck, back and spinal cord injuries
• Paralysis
• Broken and fractured bones
• Blunt force trauma
• Cuts and lacerations
• Nerve and muscle damage
• Loss of consortium

We understand that truck accidents can have devastating consequences for you and your loved ones. We will ensure you receive the compensation you are owed after being injured by someone else’s negligence. Our team is here to offer compassionate representation, walking with you every step of the way through the legal process so you can focus on recovering.

COMPENSATION THAT MAY BE AVAILABLE

We understand that truck accidents can have devastating consequences and can take a significant toll on your physical and financial well-being. Our team of talented lawyers, paralegals, and staff will fight to get you the compensation you are owed including lost wages, medical expenses, and more.

• Medical bills

• Home care

• Pain and suffering

If you were employed at the time of the accident, you may have been unable to work due to hospitalization or while receiving medical treatment.
