Does it matter if a truck accident happened on a private road or job site instead of a public highway?

It can, but it doesn't eliminate your rights. Michigan's no-fault law still generally applies to vehicle crashes regardless of where they happen, including private roads, construction sites, or parking lots.

What changes is the backdrop:

• Job site crashes may involve additional parties, like a general contractor or property owner
• OSHA regulations and site safety rules may come into play alongside traffic laws
• Worker's compensation rules can intersect with a third-party injury claim if you were working at the time

Private property crashes often involve more moving parts, not fewer. That makes early investigation even more important.
