I. Introduction
A serious truck crash changes everything in an instant. Michigan drivers, passengers, and families often face the aftermath with overwhelming physical pain, emotional trauma, and financial pressure. The sheer force of a collision involving a semi-truck, box truck, or construction vehicle is unlike anything seen in a typical car accident — these massive machines cause life-altering injuries that can reshape a person's entire future.
In moments like these, victims deserve immediate, compassionate legal support. When your life feels upside down, you need answers, protection, and a path forward — not more confusion or stress. That’s why Marko Law offers free truck injury case reviews, giving injured individuals the chance to understand their rights and options without cost or obligation.
Our Detroit-based team stands fiercely with victims of negligent truck drivers, reckless commercial carriers, poorly trained operators, and corporations that put profits over safety. At Marko Law, we don’t let powerful companies or insurers push people around. We fight to restore control, dignity, and justice.

Injuries Commonly Seen in Truck Accidents
Traumatic Brain Injuries
Concussions, skull fractures, and severe TBIs can leave victims with memory loss, cognitive impairment, chronic headaches, or permanent disability.
Spinal Cord Injuries & Paralysis
The force of a truck impact can damage the spinal cord, leading to partial or total paralysis, loss of mobility, chronic pain, and lifelong medical needs.
Broken Bones & Crush Injuries
Crashes involving semis and heavy trucks often cause:
- Compound fractures
- Crushed limbs
- Pelvic fractures
- Multiple broken bones
These injuries frequently require surgeries, hardware implants, and long rehabilitation.
Burns, Lacerations & Severe Disfigurement
Explosions, fires, shattered glass, and torn metal can cause:
- Third-degree burns
- Deep tissue lacerations
- Facial trauma
- Permanent scarring
These injuries carry significant emotional and psychological impacts.
Internal Injuries
High-speed impacts can damage:
- Organs
- Blood vessels
- Internal structures
These injuries are often life-threatening and require emergency surgery.
Amputations
Crushing forces or severe limb damage may result in surgical or traumatic amputation, forever altering a victim’s independence and lifestyle.
Wrongful Death
Sadly, many Michigan truck accidents are fatal. Families deserve answers, accountability, and justice after such an unimaginable loss.
Emotional Trauma & PTSD
Even survivors who appear physically “healed” may suffer:
- Flashbacks
- Anxiety
- Panic attacks
- Sleep disturbances
- Driving phobias
Truck crashes leave deep emotional wounds — and those deserve recognition.
Who May Be Liable in a Michigan Truck Injury Case?
Negligent Truck Drivers
Drivers may be responsible for:
- Speeding
- Fatigue or violating hours-of-service rules
- Distracted driving
- Impaired driving
- Poor decision-making under pressure
Their negligence can be devastating.
Trucking Companies & Carriers
Companies can be liable when they:
- Push drivers to meet unrealistic delivery schedules
- Fail to train or supervise properly
- Ignore maintenance problems
- Hire unsafe or unqualified drivers
- Violate safety protocols
Corporate negligence is often a major factor in serious truck crashes.
Maintenance & Repair Providers
Shops may be responsible if they:
- Performed faulty repairs
- Missed safety defects
- Improperly installed parts
- Failed to follow inspection standards
A single mistake can create a deadly hazard.
Cargo-Loading Companies
Improperly loaded or overloaded cargo can cause:
- Rollovers
- Jackknife crashes
- Tire blowouts
- Loss of control
When loaders fail to follow weight distribution rules, they can be held liable.
Manufacturers of Defective Parts
If a defective tire, brake, coupling device, or steering component contributed to the crash, the manufacturer may bear responsibility.
Government Entities
Poorly maintained roads, missing signage, or dangerous construction zones can contribute to truck crashes. When the government fails to keep roads safe, liability may arise.
Michigan Law & Truck Injury Claims
How Michigan No-Fault Applies
If you were injured in a truck crash on a public roadway, Michigan’s No-Fault system may cover:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Replacement services
- Certain long-term care needs
No-Fault benefits apply regardless of who caused the crash. But No-Fault alone is rarely enough for serious truck injuries.
When You Can Pursue a Third-Party Claim
Because truck crashes often cause catastrophic harm, many victims qualify to pursue a negligence claim against the at-fault truck driver, trucking company, or other responsible parties. A third-party claim allows you to seek compensation for:
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent disability
- Long-term functional impairment
- Loss of earning capacity
- Wrongful death damages
These claims exist to hold negligent parties fully accountable — and to provide the level of compensation necessary for life-changing injuries.
Special Considerations in Commercial Truck Crashes
Truck crash cases often involve federal safety regulations, including:
- Hours-of-service limits
- Driver qualification rules
- Maintenance and inspection requirements
- Cargo securement standards
Violations of these rules can significantly strengthen your case and demonstrate corporate negligence.
Wrongful Death Options
When a loved one is killed in a truck accident, families may pursue a wrongful death claim for:
- Loss of companionship
- Loss of financial support
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Emotional and economic damages
Truck companies and insurers often fight these cases aggressively — and families deserve a law firm strong enough to stand up to them.
Every Case Is Different
Truck injury cases are highly fact-specific, and the law applies differently depending on the circumstances. The sooner you speak with an attorney, the better your rights and evidence can be protected.
