Michigan Truck Accident Facts
Our Michigan truck accident lawyers represent victims of truck accidents throughout the entire State of Michigan. Statistics show that truck accidents in Michigan are becoming even more common. This is terrible news for motorists on Michigan roads and highways.
A review of statistics for Michigan truck accidents is disburbing. In Michigan alone, trucks are involved in more than 13,000 accidents per year. Trucks account for over 25% of all fatal accidents in Michigan.
In 95% of truck accidents, there was either property damage, personal injury, or death. Based upon their sheer size and weight alone, a motorist, motorcyclist, or pedestrian has little chance of avoiding serious injury when involved in a truck accident. The results are often catastrophic.
When a driver, pedestrian, bicyclist, or motorcyclist is hit by a truck, Michigan No Fault benefits are available to the accident victim. No Fault benefits pay for medical expenses, lost wages, household replacement services, attendant care, and other benefits regardless of fault in the accident. Medical benefits are unlimited and last a lifetime.
In addition, when an accident victim’s injuries are severe, the victim may have a legal claim against the truck driver if the truck driver is at fault in causing the accident. The best way to determine what claims an injured person has is to consult with an experienced Michigan truck accident lawyer. The lawyers at our firm have represented truck accident victims in cases involving serious injury and wrongful death and have obtained great settlements for our clients.
