Trucking Accidents
In Michigan, trucking accidents can lead to devastating injuries and lifelong consequences. Victims are entitled to compensation, but trucking companies often have powerful legal teams working to protect their interests. The Nunley Law Group helps injured individuals take on the big trucking companies and fight for the justice and compensation they deserve.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Driver fatigue (especially from violating hours-of-service rules)
Distracted driving or texting
Speeding or aggressive driving
Improperly loaded or unsecured cargo
Poor vehicle maintenance or defective brakes
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
These accidents often occur on major highways such as I-75, I-94, and I-96, where high speeds and heavy truck traffic increase the risk.
Compensation for Truck Accident Victims
Michigan law allows injury victims to pursue a range of damages in a trucking accident case. Compensation may include:
Medical expenses (past, current, and future)
Lost income and diminished earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Permanent disability or disfigurement
Property damage
Wrongful death benefits (for surviving family members)
Depending on the severity of the injuries, settlements or verdicts in trucking accident cases can range from hundreds of thousands to several million dollars. For example:
A spinal cord injury requiring lifelong care might result in compensation exceeding $2 million.
A wrongful death case could bring awards of $1 million or more, depending on the circumstances and the impact on the family.
Why Truck Accident Claims Are Different
Unlike regular car accident cases, trucking accident claims involve:
Multiple parties (driver, trucking company, freight broker, and insurers)
Complex regulations under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)
Black box data, maintenance logs, driver hour logs, and other technical evidence
Aggressive defense teams hired by the trucking companies
Without experienced legal representation, injured individuals may face delay tactics or lowball settlement offers from insurers eager to protect their bottom line.
