Free Case Review – Truck Injury | Marko Law

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:

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.
