It is essential for truck accident injury victims to find the right lawyer for their case. Many lawyers who handle car accident cases advertise for truck accident cases, but it should be buyer beware. Truck accident lawsuits are an entirely different type of case and only lawyers with extensive knowledge and experience should take on these cases. Choosing the right truck accident lawyer is often the difference between winning a major settlement or receiving nothing at all.
1. Hire an investigator immediately after the accident to take photographs and eyewitness statements
2. Hire an accident reconstruction expert to photograph all vehicles, take measurements of damage to the vehicles, download black box data devices in the vehicles, inspect the roadways and streets, and measure skid marks and yaw marks.
3. Do an extensive search on the trucking company and its history of other accidents.
4. Investigate the truck driver, including a history of prior accidents and even medications that were taken to see if it affected the ability to drive
5. Obtain trucking company records, including driver log sheets, to see how much time the trucker had spent on the road. This often can be used to show driver fatigue.
6. Hire a truck inspector or engineer to inspect the truck to make sure that it was properly maintained with no defects. Also, review truck maintenance logs and reports for potential problems

A Farmington Hills truck accident has resulted in the death of a pedestrian. Zbigniew Adamski was hit by a tractor trailer while crossing the street at 9 Mile Road and Halsted in Farmington Hills on March 26, 2009. He was taken to Botsford Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police had difficulty identifying Zbigniew Adamski because he was not carrying any identification when the accident happened. Their investigation is still on-going.
I am very sorry this accident occurred. I want to express my sympathies to the Adamski family.
Although it is always hard to lose a loved one, Michigan's No Fault Act helps families cope with their loss by provding generous No Fault survivor loss benefits. Survivor loss benefits, which are available through your car insurance, provide a payment for a portion of the funeral cost as well as payments for loss of financial support and loss of household services for up to three years following the accident. The first thing any family who has lost a loved one in a car or truck accident like this one is submit a claim for No Fault survivor loss benefits.
The family may also be able to sue the driver of the tractor trailer or his company for wrongful death. This lawsuit would require the family to prove the driver of the truck was negligent in someway and that his negligence caused the accident. An experienced Michigan truck accident lawyer can help evaluate a possible lawsuit.
A Battle Creek truck accident has left a Litchfield man in serious condition. The accident occurred on February 21, 2009 after the man lost control of his Ford pickup and jackknifed his trailer. His truck then crossed the center line of M-60 near 15 Mile Road and hit oncoming traffic. A Ford Excursion hit the truck, and three of the four occupants of that vehicle suffered minor injuries. The fourth is in good condition with a broken arm.
I am very sorry this accident occurred. I hope that everyone involved has a full and quick recovery.
In an accident like this, it is important to determine the rights of the different parties. First, all people involved can submit a claim for No Fault benefits through their car insurance. Their No Fault claims will cover things like their medical expenses and wage loss if they have to miss work. No Fault insurance will also provide payments of up to $20 per day for up to three years if the injured person cannot do their normal chores around the house because of the accident. Although this may not seem like a lot, this adds up to around $7000 per year.
Second, if someone is seriously injured in a car accident, they can sue the person that caused the accident. Since who caused the accident and how severe their injuries are will change with each accident, anyone who has been hurt in a car accident should consult with an experienced Michigan car accident lawyer to determine if they can file a lawsuit.
