More than 100 people are killed each year in Michigan trucking accidents, and about 1,500 people are injured. Because of the transfer of energy and difference in mass, the occupants in automobiles suffer most. Aside from truck fatalities, many suffer catastrophic injury, such as brain damage, severed or crushed limbs, spinal injuries, and disfiguring facial injuries.

Truck Accident Litigation

Ferris & Salter, P.C. responds swiftly to truck accidents throughout Michigan. We utilize investigators and accident reconstructionists, and often Don Ferris or Heidi Salter-Ferris visit the scene themselves. Contacting an attorney is critical to preserving evidence, including securing the vehicles for expert inspection. We examine law enforcement reports, photographs of the crash site, witness statements and the truck owners’ records for evidence of negligence:

  • Truck driver error — speeding and illegal maneuvers, crossing the center line, fatigue
  • Trucking company liability — log book violations and pressure to exceed federal limits on driving without rest, negligent supervision and hiring of truckers
  • Maintenance and freight — faulty brakes and worn tires, overweight trucks, unsecured or unbalanced loads

With more than 250 jury trials behind us, Ferris & Salter, P.C., is more than willing to try these complicated cases. However, our thorough preparation and willingness to go to court often leads to full and fair insurance settlements.
