Michigan city scape in grey

Can I file a claim if I was hit by an out-of-state trucking company's driver in Michigan?

Yes. If the crash happened in Michigan, you generally have the right to file a claim here, even if the trucking company is based in another state. Interstate trucking companies operate under federal FMCSA regulations regardless of where they're headquartered, and Michigan courts can typically exercise jurisdiction when the collision occurred within the state.

These cases do involve extra layers, including:

  • Identifying the correct company and insurance policy, which can be more complicated with leased trucks or subcontracted drivers
  • Reviewing the carrier's safety record through FMCSA's SAFER and SMS systems
  • Understanding how Michigan's no-fault insurance laws interact with a commercial trucking claim

Out-of-state defendants often have larger legal teams ready to respond quickly. Having experienced trucking litigation counsel on your side from the start helps level that playing field.
