A cargo shift crash is one of the more dangerous and legally complex trucking accidents on Michigan highways. If you're involved in one, a few steps protect both your health and your case:
- Get medical attention right away, even if injuries feel minor at first
- Call police and get an official crash report
- Take photos of the scene, the truck, and any visible cargo spillage or shifting
- Get the trucking company's name and USDOT number if possible
- Avoid giving a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking with an attorney
Cargo shift crashes often point to violations of FMCSA loading and securement regulations. Trucking companies, cargo loaders, and even the shipper may share responsibility. These cases move fast because trucking companies send investigators to the scene almost immediately, so getting your own legal team involved early can make a real difference.
