The Michigan truck accident lawyers at our firm fully investigate the causes of a truck accident for our clients.  While some of the causes may seem obvious, like simply rear-ending another vehicle, there are numerous other causes that may not seem so obvious:

Truck Accident Causes

The most common of these causes are the following:

  • Fatigue, sleepy or tired drivers driving too many hours without rest
  • Truck drivers drinking alcohol or drug use
  • Running off the road
  • Failure to yield the right of way
  • Unsafe safety systems, reflectors, lights and other warning devices
  • Overloaded Truck
  • Oversized Truck
  • Lack of training on the part of the truck driver
  • Poorly maintained brakes on the Truck
  • Reckless driving
  • Driving in conditions of poor visibility due to smoke, fog, snow or rain
  • Poorly maintained tires
  • Speeding
  • Wide turns
  • Blind spots
  • Fatigue, sleepy or tired drivers driving too many hours without rest
  • Running off the road
  • Failure to yield the right of way
  • Unsafe safety systems, reflectors, lights and other warning devices

Truck Accident Injuries

Our Michigan truck accident lawyers also have extensive knowledge of the complex trucking regulations for both interstate and intrastate motor carriers.  Truck accident cases are often won by proving that the truck driver and trucking company operated their trucks in violation of the trucking laws.

The serious injuries resulting from truck accidents are serious and often fatal.  Cases involving death give rise to a Michigan Wrongful Death Lawsuit.  Common injuries from these tragic accidents include:

·                     Closed head/traumatic brain injury

·               Spinal cord injuries, including quadraplegia and paraplegia

·               Broken bones and Fractures

·               Back and neck injuries

·               Shoulder injuries

·               Knee injuries

·               Scarring and disfigurement

·               Road rash requiring significant skin grafts

·               Permanent disability

·               Burn injuries

·               Amputation injury

 Trucking Company Insurance Carriers

Our Michigan truck accident lawyers must also fully understand issues relating to trucking company insurance companies to obtain the best settlement for their client. Trucking companies, whether they are running semi-trailers, gravel trucks, garbage trucks, or dump trucks, are well insured. Companies carrying trucking insurance policies work aggressively to limit the amount of compensation and benefits they pay out. It is important to have an attorney not afraid to take on big insurance companies when you have been injured in an 18-wheeler accident.

Statute of Limitations

The statute of limitations for trucking cases varies from state to state. Individuals who have been injured in a Michigan truck accident should contact the Michigan truck accident lawyers at  Buckfire & Buckfire, P.C. immediately. They will start working on your case immediately, gathering the evidence to prove and win your case.

Testimonials

The insurance company refused to pay my benefits. Mr. Buckfire filed a lawsuit against them and made them pay every penny that they owed... Every time I see my doctor, I thank her again for the referral to Buckfire & Buckfire.

Michael M.

Because of his efforts, we proved that the other driver was at fault and the driver's insurance company paid a significant settlement for our injury claims... Hiring his firm to represent my son and myself was the best decision I could have possibly made. Many thanks for the great work.

My husband died when a truck left the roadway and struck him. He was off the shoulder of the roadway helping another motorist pull his car out of a snow bank The work that they did helped me settle my Michigan wrongful death case for $1,600,000.00. Their knowledge of law was second to none and they hired the best experts to prove my case.
