Fatal Truck Accidents in Michigan

Fatal truck accidents are the cause of thousands of deaths across the United States every year. Here in Michigan, we see countless people die due to these accidents. Although many truck accidents occur on highways across our state, they can occur at any location and severely impact victims and their families.

After losing a loved one in a fatal truck accident, families are able to file wrongful death claims against the responsible parties. It is crucial to be able to identify who is at fault for the accident.

Here in Michigan, we see countless people identified as liable parties following fatal truck accidents. Some of the most common include:

• Truck Drivers: When drivers operate their vehicles in a reckless and careless manner, they can cause serious accidents that ultimately take the lives of victims. Some negligent actions that lead to fatal truck accidents include speeding, drowsiness, and driving while distracted.
• Trucking Company: There are far too many instances where truck companies engage in negligent hiring practices and fail to properly train their drivers. In many instances, trucking companies fail to maintain their vehicles correctly. All of these negligent actions can lead to devastating fatal collisions.
• Cargo Company: There are many instances where individuals lose their lives as a result of truck accidents caused by improperly loaded cargo. When cargo shifts or spills out onto the roadway, it can result in a truck overturning or jackknifing.
