Michigan Semi Truck Accident:
Trucking Company Insurance

Interstate commercial trucking companies are required to meet or exceed minimum insurance coverage levels for accidents in Michigan involving bodily injury and wrongful death. The insurance companies look for ways to pay accident victims the least amount possible. It is their job. Our job as attorneys is to get them to pay victims and their families full and adequate compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, emotional distress and other damages.

One of the following insurance companies may be involved in your Michigan semi truck accident (this is a partial list):

Ace American Insurance Co.
Starr Indemnity & Liability Insurance Company
Protective Insurance Co.
Factory Mutual Insurance Company
National Interstate Insurance Company
ARCH Insurance Company
Zurich American Insurance Company
Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Company
Gemini Insurance Company
General Insurance Company of America
Old Republic Insurance Co.
Discover Property and Casualty Insurance Co.
SAFECO Insurance Company of America
National Union Fire Ins. Co. of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania

If the semi truck driver was at fault (eating, texting, sleeping, speeding, truck jackknifed), the insurance company may offer you a settlement. We highly recommend you speak to an experienced 18-wheeler accident lawyer before you decide whether to accept the offer. Consultations are free.
