Truck Accidents

Commercial truck accidents are a common cause of injury and death in Southfield, Dearborn, Detroit, and across Michigan 

Commercial vehicle accidents can result from a variety of factors, including the carelessness and recklessness of truck drivers. Truck accident claims are more challenging and complicated, because vehicle manufacturers, distributors, retailers, governmental agencies, and truck drivers are all parties that may be held liable for commercial vehicle accidents.  

Some of the most common causes of Michigan commercial truck crashes include:  

• Mechanical defects: This can include defective electrical systems, wheels and tires, brake systems, repair and upkeep neglect, and more. 
• Driver error: Drivers are required to operate commercial vehicles with 100% of their ability at all times. Unfortunately, issues like intoxication, fatigue, and poor training often result in commercial vehicle accidents. 
• Improper cargo loading: If the cargo on a commercial truck isn't loaded correctly and shifts during travel, the stability of the truck is jeopardized. 
• Environmental issues: Road maintenance and design can also be factors in commercial vehicle accidents.   

At Abdallah Law, our truck accident attorneys help an accident victim by identifying whether a self-insured defendant or corporation is liable for improper maintenance, for neglecting to prevent unauthorized use of a commercial vehicle, for inadequate supervision and training of the driver and/or some other contributing factor.
