Ann Arbor Truck Accident Lawyer

Trucking Accident Attorney in Ann Arbor, MI

Like most businesses, trucking companies are constantly looking for ways to accomplish more. Although there are strict regulations regarding how long truck drivers can work each day, many trucking companies overlook those regulations to do business more efficiently.

Unfortunately, that focus on the trucking company’s bottom line often leads to fatal accidents for other people on the road. The size difference between trucks and passenger vehicles means victims often suffer catastrophic or fatal injuries, while truck drivers walk away with minor injuries.
