Do You Have a Michigan Truck Accident Case?

Have you been hit by a truck? Are you living with pain and suffering as a result of the truck driver’s negligence? Were you ever involved in a collision with a tractor-trailer? If you are then you are not alone. Speak with a Detroit auto accident lawyer at Elia & Ponto today.

Michigan State and Federal laws attempt to reduce the number of truck accidents each year. Michigan legislature mandates the number of hours a truck driver should drive in one day. Michigan legislature also mandates how much a semi-truck driver may drive in one week. Moreover, it also mandates a certain speed an eighteen wheeler driver must follow on the highway. They also limit the speed a semi truck is allowed to drive while passing other vehicles. If a truck is carrying material between two states then the federal law mandates the company which owns the semi truck must carry at least $750,000 in liability insurance.

Recovery of Damages for Michigan Truck Accident Injuries

You can recover for your damages from the negligent truck driver and also from the company which may vicariously liable for the actions of the semi truck driver through the legal concept of Respondeat superior. If the accident is caused by the negligent design of the semi truck then this will result in a products liability case against the semi-truck manufacturer. Moreover, if the truck is being driven on a lease then the lessee may be liable as well. Our Michigan auto accident lawyers will make sure that you get the maximum recovery for the injuries you sustain in a truck accident.

Negligence Can Result in Michigan Truck Accidents

Truck companies often face strict demands and tight timelines from the customers. That is why truck drivers are often in a rush to deliver material within a set timeline. In these cases, truck drivers often neglect the driving regulation and laws. Their negligence can cause crashes, leaving victims of these crashes with serious injuries. In many cases, these crashes result in a death. If a trucking company in Michigan fails to follow the state and federal laws then the consequences can be deadly. Our lawyers can help you get compensation for personal injuries and wrongful death in the result of a Michigan trucking accident.

Causes of Michigan Truck Accidents

Michigan semi truck collisions can be caused by improperly repaired equipment or by the negligence of the driver, spilled cargo loads, hazardous road conditions, intoxicated truck drivers and also by a truck driver falling asleep. The truck accidents can happen between a car, another truck or a pedestrian. They can receive serious life long injuries as compared to a “car on car” accident. The deaths that occur due to a truck collision are typically more serious than other forms of accidents. A Michigan auto accident lawyer at Elia & Ponto is here to help you.

Testimonials

If you're looking for Attorneys that will work hard for you, Look no further! Ameer is the best I was scared and didn't know what to expect. He was there every step of the way walking me through the entire process from beginning to the end. Thanks Ameer 😊

Google Review by, Keysha Blanks

Ameer was my lawyer (recommended by my brother whom received a settlement 2 years prior). Ameer promised a decent amount but came back 6 days later with double the settlement and an additional $10K. My accident was very scary but I never expected a guarantee, let alone a smooth process. I appreciate Ameer's' honesty and most importantly his track record of exceeding what I expected. I'm grateful to be alive and to have a bigger head start now.

I’d like to thank Alex & Mathew for the hard work they put in of my case. I was broadsided by an individual speeding and Blessed that I’d just let my daughter out of the car moments before being struck by the other drivers vehicle. I incurred an astronomical amount of medical bills as a result of my injuries, all of which Alex went to bat for me, to ensure that I wouldn’t be left in debt and overburdened because of this horrible unforeseen accident. I was devastated having to loose valuable time from school and work. The accident took a horrible toll on me and my family. But Alex assured me that they would be with me every step and they have been. Even in the midst of an unprecedented pandemic, Alex and his team kept fighting to resolve my case. Thank you Elia & Ponto.
