Commercial truck collisions are not ordinary auto cases. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR), driver-log records, electronic logging device (ELD) data, and fleet-maintenance records all become evidence — and they disappear without prompt legal action. Attorney Manny Chahal represents victims of truck and commercial-vehicle collisions on I-94, I-696, M-59, and across Macomb County.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes truck cases different from car accidents?
Commercial trucking is regulated by federal law (FMCSR) layered on top of state negligence law. Fleet-maintenance records, ELD data, driver qualification files, and post-collision drug/alcohol testing are all subject to spoliation — prompt preservation letters are critical.
Who can be liable in a truck crash?
Potentially the driver, the trucking company, the fleet owner, the broker, the shipper, the maintenance provider, and parts manufacturers — each on a separate theory of liability. A thorough investigation identifies every responsible party and every available insurance policy.
What evidence should I preserve immediately?
Photos of the scene, the truck (USDOT number visible), and your injuries. Witness contact info. Your medical records. Insurance correspondence. Your attorney will issue spoliation letters to the trucking company for ELD data, driver logs, and maintenance records.
How long do I have to file?
Generally three years from the crash under MCL 600.5805, but acting quickly is critical for preserving electronic and physical evidence that disappears within days or weeks of the incident.
