Because of the long hours truck drivers work, they are often overtired and unprepared for the worst that can happen on the road. That results in shortcuts that amount to negligence.

We Handle All Types of Truck Accident Claims
Commercial trucks are not always large, but carry a large insurance policy. Settlements and jury awards for truck accident cases can be much larger than auto accident claims. Truck companies often carried significantly larger insurance policies than a car driver. Your personal auto policy is sometimes as low as the Eastern Michigan state mandatory minimum limits require of $20,000, however, a commercial vehicle, such as a company van, pick-up, tow truck, etc., usually carries policies of insurance coverage with much higher limits and you can be fairly and fully compensated when the driver is negligent.
