Truck Accidents

Michigan Truck Accident Lawyers

Aggressive Pursuit of the Compensation Your Family Needs

The physical and emotional impact of a truck crash is immediate — permanent injuries or the sudden loss of a family member. However, victims will feel additional effects long after the initial explosive impact of a tractor-trailer collision. Serious or catastrophic physical injuries can lead to lost income and enormous medical bills. Families of fatal truck accident victims must endure financial hardship resulting from the loss of income and final medical expenses.

When faced with these serious consequences, truck accident victims and their families must combat the resistance of insurance companies and secure rightful compensation for their losses.

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 cord injuries (causing paralysis), burn injuries, and disfiguring facial injuries.

Michigan Truck Accident Litigation

Ferris & Salter, P.C. responds swiftly to truck accidents throughout Michigan. We utilize investigators and accident reconstructionists, and attorneys Don Ferris or Heidi Salter-Ferris visit the scene of the truck wreck themselves. Contacting an attorney is critical to preserving evidence of the trucking crash, 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, truck driver 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 for semi crash victims and their families.
