Traveling across I-96 will take Michigan drivers from Muskegon to Detroit. The interstate was designed to replace U.S. 16, which was decommissioned upon completion of the interstate highway. This road is heavily traveled by semi trucks, making it a haven for truck accidents.
Anyone traveling on I-96 needs to beware of other drivers, including those operating semi trucks, which might not always be paying attention. Even though truckers are professionals on the road, they are often tired from driving long hours. Driver fatigue can lead to serious freeway accidents.
Interstates like I-96 were designed to be safer and increase the flow of traffic through areas where state routes and other two-lane roads were ineffective. However, high speeds combined with congestion create a situation where anyone is at risk to be involved in an accident. If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck collision, you deserve compensation for your injuries or loss.
