What to know about truck accident claims in Michigan

  • More people and companies can be responsible for a truck crash than a car crash: the driver, the trucking company, the truck or trailer owner, a freight broker, the shipper or loader, a repair shop or a parts maker.
  • Federal safety rules on driving hours, driver qualifications, drug and alcohol testing and maintenance create records that can show what went wrong (49 CFR Parts 382, 391, 395 and 396). Some of those records only have to be kept for months, so a preservation letter should go out early.
  • In Michigan, no-fault PIP still pays your medical bills first, and pain and suffering can be claimed only for death, a serious impairment of body function or permanent serious disfigurement (MCL 500.3114, 500.3135).

Do truck accident lawyers charge anything up front?

135 of these 167 firms say on their websites that they offer a free consultation, and 67 say they work on a contingency fee: a percentage of any recovery, and no fee if nothing is recovered. In Michigan, the fee in a personal injury, wrongful death or no-fault benefits case can't be more than one-third of the recovery after case costs (MCR 8.121). Get the percentage, and who pays case costs if you lose, in writing.

How long do I have to file a truck accident claim in Michigan?

Give the insurer written notice of your injury within one year of the crash, or you can lose the right to sue for PIP benefits (MCL 500.3145). Most lawsuits against the at-fault driver or company must be filed within three years of the injury (MCL 600.5805(2)).
