Truck Accident Attorney in Michigan

In Michigan, liable parties in a truck accident will depend on the unique nature of our case. They may include the truck driver, the trucking company, the vehicle's manufacturer (in the case of a defective product that caused the accident), and potentially third-party companies responsible for fleet maintenance.

Yes, you can still file a claim if you were partly at fault for a truck accident. Michigan follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can recover damages as long as you're not more at fault than the other party (in other words, 51% at fault). That said, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

Even if liability seems obvious, you should have an attorney in your corner to ensure you receive full compensation for your injuries and losses. The right attorney will handle all legal aspects of the truck accident case, including negotiations with insurance companies, and even represent you in court if need be.

Yes, for starters, if the insurance company agrees to settle, it's because you likely have a valid claim. These companies are usually tight-fisted; they don't pay unless they have to.

A lawyer can assess whether the settlement offer is fair and covers all your damages, including future medical expenses and lost wages. If the offer is unreasonable, they can negotiate a better settlement or take the case to court if necessary.

Not really. That's because accident attorneys from Morgan and Morgan work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay if you win your case or secure a settlement. The fee is usually a percentage of the compensation awarded. 

The best way to understand your legal rights and options after a truck accident is to have your case reviewed by an expert. At Morgan and Morgan, your situation might be unique to us, but truck accident litigation isn't.
