A collision with a commercial truck can change your life in seconds. These massive vehicles carry devastating force—and the aftermath often leaves victims facing long recoveries, mounting medical bills, lost income, and unanswered questions about who is truly responsible.

At Biggs & Gunst P.C., we provide strong legal representation for individuals and families affected by truck accidents throughout Ann Arbor and across Michigan. If you’ve been injured, our goal is to help you reclaim control of your future and pursue the justice you deserve.

Why Truck Accidents Are Different from Car Accidents

Truck accident cases are rarely straightforward. Unlike standard car collisions, these incidents often involve multiple parties, including:

• The truck driver
• The trucking company
• Vehicle maintenance providers
• Freight loaders
• Insurance companies and third-party brokers

Each party may hold a portion of liability, and navigating these layers requires a clear legal strategy supported by investigative experience and a deep understanding of federal and state trucking regulations.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Michigan

Our firm has seen how preventable many of these tragedies truly are. Common causes of truck crashes include:

• Driver fatigue or hours-of-service violations
• Improperly loaded or overloaded cargo
• Distracted or impaired driving
• Brake or mechanical failure
• Speeding or reckless lane changes
• Poor driver training or supervision

Determining the root cause—and proving it—can make all the difference in the outcome of your case.

What Compensation May Be Available?

Victims of serious truck accidents may be entitled to more than just basic no-fault benefits. Depending on your injuries and the fault involved, compensation may include:

• Medical expenses (current and future)
• Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Rehabilitation and long-term care
• Wrongful death damages (for surviving families)

At Biggs & Gunst P.C., we aggressively pursue full compensation on behalf of our clients, ensuring that no stone is left unturned.
