Who Pays After A Michigan Truck Accident

Because Michigan is a “no-fault” state, most injuries are likely to be covered under each drivers’ own insurance policy.

However, trucking accidents have more entities who may be found at fault. These parties may include:

• The passenger vehicle driver
• The truck driver
• The trucking company
• The cargo company/freight broker

Michigan law allows an injured person to pursue compensation from these or other parties. Learn more about your legal options after a trucking accident >>

What Damages Can I Recover After A Michigan Truck Accident

Michigan allows accident victims to receive different benefits and compensations for damages from various parties. Here are some of them:

No-Fault Benefits
Michigan is a no-fault state to allow drivers to receive medical treatment from their own insurance companies. While this is not an exhaustive list, these are some of the damages Michigan Law allows a victim to recover after an accident:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Attendant care
• Household replacement services

Economic Damages
Once no-fault benefits are reached, a victim may sue for economic damages that they suffered from the truck accident. These damages are basically what they lose financially from an accident that can be proved by medical bills or that’s based on prior income before the accident.

Non-Economic Damages
A victim of a truck accident may also sue for intangible damages suffered. These may include:

• Pain and suffering
• Psychological or emotional trauma
• Deterioration of their quality of life
• Permanent disabilities/effects of the accident
