Our Ann Arbor Truck Accident Attorneys Can Help You With Your Recovery

Last updated on January 30, 2025

When a passenger car is involved in a tractor trailer wreck the heavy commercial truck can easily crush a car or force it off the road and down an embankment. A trucking accident generally results in catastrophic or fatal injuries for occupants of the smaller vehicle.

At Logeman & Iafrate, P.C., we understand the profound impact that a truck accident can have on victims and their families. Our firm, based in Ann Arbor, is dedicated to providing experienced legal representation to those affected by such devastating incidents. Our attorneys have a deep understanding of both state and federal trucking regulations which help you navigate the complexities of these claims.

We work tirelessly to investigate every detail of your case, ensuring that negligent parties are held accountable and that you receive the compensation you need for medical expenses, lost wages and other damages. If you or a loved one has been involved in a truck accident, trust the expertise and dedication of Logeman & Iafrate, P.C., to guide you through the legal process.

Truck Accidents Are Complex, You Need An Experienced Attorney To Help

If you or a loved one has been involved in a truck accident, the path to recovery can be daunting. Truck accidents often result in major or catastrophic injuries due to the massive size and weight of these vehicles. At Logeman & Iafrate, P.C., we know how to dissect these complexities and craft a solid legal strategy to protect your rights and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve for medical care, lost wages and more.

Truck accidents can involve a variety of unique issues:

  • Stopping distance: Trucks require significantly more room to stop than other vehicles.
  • Maintenance requirements: Trucking companies must adhere to strict maintenance schedules.
  • Driver fatigue: Federal regulations limit driving hours to prevent fatigue.
  • Load balancing: Improperly loaded or secured cargo can cause accidents.
  • Distracted driving: Texting, eating or focusing on anything but the road can lead to serious accidents.
  • Driving under the influence: Trucking is a stressful job, and it is not uncommon to see accidents caused by drug and alcohol use.

Our experienced attorneys are dedicated to representing clients across Michigan in truck accident cases. We are committed to ensuring that victims of trucking accidents receive full and fair compensation for their economic losses and pain and suffering. Our team is ready to review your case and help you pursue the maximum compensation you are entitled to.

Utilizing Accident Reconstruction And Witness Statements

Start early for the strongest claim in a truck crash case. As soon as you retain our firm to represent you, our attorneys will begin an investigation, identifying witnesses and enlisting scientific experts and accident reconstructionists to build a strong case on your behalf. They will identify sources of compensation and may have them, as well as medical and economic experts who will testify as to the extent of your injuries.

There is no question that it is in the interests of the insurance companies to deny or undervalue legitimate claims, or fail to pay benefits owed. If you have been injured in an truck accident do not assume that you have exhausted all avenues for benefits, or that the cost of your injury has been calculated accurately. Have your case evaluated by an attorney with the appropriate experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our services and process.

What should I do immediately after a truck accident?

+
First, seek medical attention even if you don't think you're seriously injured. Document the scene with photos if possible, collect witness information, and obtain the truck driver's information and their employer's details. Contact an experienced truck accident attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights and begin the investigation while evidence is still fresh.

How is a truck accident case different from a regular car accident case?

+
Truck accident cases are significantly more complex due to federal and state trucking regulations, multiple potentially liable parties (driver, trucking company, maintenance providers, cargo loaders), and the catastrophic nature of injuries typically involved. These cases require attorneys with specific expertise in commercial vehicle accidents and knowledge of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations.

Who can be held liable in a truck accident case?

+
Liability in truck accidents can extend beyond just the driver. Potentially liable parties include the trucking company, truck owner, cargo loading company, truck or parts manufacturers, and maintenance providers. Our attorneys thoroughly investigate all potential sources of compensation to ensure you receive full and fair recovery.

How long do I have to file a truck accident claim in Michigan?

+
Michigan's statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally three years from the date of the accident. However, it's crucial to contact an attorney immediately, as evidence can disappear quickly and early investigation is essential for building a strong case. Additionally, certain claims may have shorter deadlines.

What compensation can I recover in a truck accident case?

+
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses (past and future), lost wages and loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, property damage, rehabilitation costs, and in cases of wrongful death, funeral expenses and loss of companionship. Our firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for Michigan accident victims.

Do I need to pay upfront to hire Logeman & Iafrate, P.C.?

+
No. We handle truck accident cases on a contingency-fee basis, which means you don't pay any attorney fees unless we win your case. We offer free consultations to evaluate your claim and discuss your legal options with no obligation.
