Michigan's highways, including I-75, I-94, I-96, and M-39, carry massive volumes of commercial truck traffic through Detroit and the surrounding metro every day. Wayne County recorded 50,355 crashes in 2024 according to Michigan State Police data, with commercial vehicle involvement contributing to some of the most severe outcomes. Trucking company insurers often use delay, deny, and lowball tactics and have legal teams working before you have left the scene. TopDog fights to get you every dollar you deserve.
Detroit's most active truck corridors run through Wayne County — I-75 through the city, I-94 connecting to industrial hubs, and the Lodge carrying freight through the West Side. We know the federal FMCSA regulations that govern commercial carriers and how to build a case when those regulations were violated. Those accidents cause real damage to Detroit families and we fight to get injured people the care and money they deserve.
Trucking companies and their insurers operating across Wayne County and along Michigan's major interstates often use delay and denial tactics to protect the carrier. They move fast the moment a crash is reported. We know how to leverage the justice system in Michigan courts to fight back on every front — against the driver, the trucking company, and every other liable party.
IMPORTANT MICHIGAN LEGAL INFORMATION — TRUCK ACCIDENTS
Statute of Limitations: 3 years to sue the at-fault driver. PIP benefits must be claimed within 1 year of the accident.
No-Fault / PIP: File PIP claim with your own insurer within 1 year. One-year-back rule limits recovery.
Serious Injury Threshold: Serious impairment of body function, permanent disfigurement, or death required to sue for pain and suffering.
Comparative Fault: Modified comparative fault. Recover if 50% or less at fault.
Federal Regulations: FMCSA regulations govern commercial carriers. Violations can establish negligence.
Evidence Preservation: Black box data and driver logs can disappear fast.
This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.
Insurance companies for commercial carriers may make early low offers because they count on most people not knowing the full scope of recovery available across multiple liable parties. They may use delay and denial tactics and move fast to protect the carrier. TopDog Law and its co-counsel fight to pursue maximum recovery from every available source.
