18-Wheeler Accident Attorneys in DeWitt County, Illinois

When 80,000 Pounds Changes Everything…

The intersection of US-51 and IL-48 just outside Clinton. A fully loaded grain truck running behind schedule. A family sedan heading home from the grocery store. In the blink of an eye, life changes forever.

If you’re reading this after an 18-wheeler accident in DeWitt County, you’re probably overwhelmed. The medical bills are piling up. The trucking company’s insurance adjuster has already called. And somewhere in the back of your mind, you know that black box data is sitting in that truck’s engine compartment—data that could prove the driver was speeding, fatigued, or distracted—but it might disappear within days.

You don’t have to face this alone.

At Attorney911, we’ve spent over 25 years fighting for truck accident victims across Illinois and beyond. Ralph Manginello, our managing partner, has recovered multi-million dollar settlements for families devastated by commercial truck crashes. Our team includes Lupe Peña, a former insurance defense attorney who spent years inside the system learning how trucking companies minimize payouts—now he uses that insider knowledge to fight for victims like you.

We’ve seen what happens when injured people in DeWitt County wait too long to get help. Evidence gets overwritten. Witnesses move away. And trucking companies, with their teams of rapid-response investigators, build their defense while you’re still in the hospital.

Don’t let that happen to your case.

Why DeWitt County 18-Wheeler Accidents Demand Specialized Legal Help

The Unique Risks of Central Illinois Trucking Corridors

DeWitt County sits at the crossroads of major agricultural and industrial freight routes. Interstate 55 cuts through the county, connecting Chicago to St. Louis with a constant stream of commercial traffic. I-74 isn’t far, carrying goods between the Midwest and the East Coast. US-51 runs north-south through Clinton, creating a perfect storm of mixing local traffic with heavy trucks hauling grain, equipment, and manufactured goods.

This isn’t just busy highway traffic. This is 80,000 pounds of steel and cargo barreling through intersections, rural crossings, and tight turns that weren’t designed for modern commercial vehicles.

The physics are brutal. An 18-wheeler traveling at 65 mph needs nearly two football fields to stop—40% more distance than your passenger vehicle. When a truck driver in DeWitt County is following too closely, running red lights, or pushing past their hours-of-service limits, you don’t stand a chance.

And here’s what most people don’t realize: trucking companies know this. They carry between $750,000 and $5 million in insurance specifically because they know their vehicles cause catastrophic damage. But getting access to that money requires understanding federal trucking regulations, electronic logging devices, and the specific laws that govern commercial carriers in Illinois.

That’s where we come in.

Illinois Law and Your Recovery Rights

In Illinois, you have two years from the date of your trucking accident to file a lawsuit. That sounds like plenty of time, but waiting is dangerous. Illinois follows a modified comparative negligence rule with a 51% bar—meaning if you’re found more than 50% at fault, you recover nothing. If you’re 50% or less at fault, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of blame.

But here’s the thing: trucking companies and their insurers love to blame the victim. They’ll say you were speeding. They’ll claim you stopped too suddenly. They’ll argue you were in their blind spot and should have known better.

We don’t let them get away with that.

Ralph Manginello has been practicing law since 1998, with admission to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, giving him federal court experience that’s crucial for interstate trucking cases. When we take your DeWitt County case, we immediately subpoena the ECM data, the driver’s qualification file, and the maintenance records that prove what really happened.

As client Glenda Walker told us after we handled her case, “They fought for me to get every dime I deserved.” That’s exactly what we do for every DeWitt County family we represent.

Understanding Federal Trucking Regulations: Your Case Depends on This

The FMCSA Rules Trucking Companies Break

Every commercial truck operating in DeWitt County must comply with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations found in Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR), Parts 390-399. When trucking companies violate these rules—and they often do—they create the dangerous conditions that cause accidents.

Here’s what we look for in every DeWitt County trucking case:

49 CFR Part 391: Driver Qualification Standards

Trucking companies cannot legally hire just anyone to drive an 18-wheeler. Under Part 391, drivers must:

Be at least 21 years old for interstate commerce
Hold a valid Commercial Driver’s License (CDL)
Pass a physical examination every 24 months (or less)
Be able to read and speak English sufficiently
Have a clean driving record, checked through previous employer inquiries

Why this matters for your case: If the driver who hit you was unqualified, had a suspended CDL, or suffered from a medical condition that should have disqualified them, the trucking company is liable for negligent hiring. We subpoena the Driver Qualification File to prove they failed their duty to verify credentials.

49 CFR Part 392: Driving of Commercial Motor Vehicles

This section contains the rules of the road for truckers, including:

§ 392.3: No driving while impaired by fatigue, illness, or any cause making operation unsafe
§ 392.4: No possession or use of Schedule I substances while on duty
§ 392.5: No alcohol within 4 hours of driving, and no operation with BAC over 0.04%
§ 392.6: No scheduling routes that require speeding to meet deadlines
§ 392.11: No following too closely
§ 392.82: No hand-held mobile phone use while driving

Why this matters: Violations of these rules aren’t just traffic tickets—they’re evidence of negligence. When a trucker on I-55 in DeWitt County is texting while driving or pushing through their 14th hour on the road, they’re breaking federal law. That strengthens your case significantly.

49 CFR Part 393: Parts and Accessories for Safe Operation

This covers equipment standards:

§ 393.100-136: Cargo securement requirements—cargo must withstand 0.8g deceleration forward and 0.5g lateral acceleration
§ 393.40-55: Brake system requirements and inspection standards
§ 393.75: Tire standards—minimum tread depth of 4/32″ on steer tires, 2/32″ on others

Why this matters: Brake failure causes 29% of truck crashes. Improperly secured cargo causes rollovers and jackknifes. When we find these violations, we prove the trucking company put profits over safety.

49 CFR Part 395: Hours of Service (HOS) Regulations

These are the most commonly violated rules in trucking accidents:

11-hour driving limit: Cannot drive more than 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off-duty
14-hour window: Must stop driving after 14 consecutive hours from start of shift
30-minute break: Required after 8 cumulative hours of driving
60/70-hour rule: No driving after 60 hours in 7 days or 70 hours in 8 days
Electronic Logging Device (ELD) Mandate: Since December 18, 2017, most trucks must use ELDs that automatically record driving time

Why this matters: Driver fatigue causes 31% of fatal truck accidents. The ELD data proves whether the driver was illegally fatigued. But here’s the critical part: ELD data can be overwritten in as little as 30 days. That’s why we send spoliation letters immediately to preserve this evidence.

49 CFR Part 396: Inspection, Repair, and Maintenance

Trucking companies must:

Systematically inspect, repair, and maintain all vehicles
Perform pre-trip inspections before every drive
Document post-trip inspections noting defects
Retain maintenance records for at least 1 year

Why this matters: If the truck that hit you had known brake defects, worn tires, or faulty lights that the company ignored, that’s direct evidence of negligence.

How We Use FMCSA Violations to Win DeWitt County Cases

When Ralph Manginello investigates your DeWitt County trucking accident, he doesn’t just look at what happened at the crash scene. He examines whether the trucking company created a culture of safety violations that led to your injuries.

We’ve seen cases where:

Drivers falsified their logbooks to hide HOS violations
Companies skipped brake inspections to keep trucks on the road
Trucking companies hired drivers with multiple DUI convictions
Cargo was loaded improperly, shifting weight and causing rollovers

Each of these violations is a building block in your case. They prove negligence. And when we find patterns of violations—evidence that the company knew its drivers were unsafe but did nothing anyway—that opens the door to punitive damages designed to punish the wrongdoer.

Types of 18-Wheeler Accidents in DeWitt County

Not all trucking accidents are the same. The specific type of crash determines what evidence we gather, what regulations were violated, and who bears responsibility. Here are the accident types we see most often in DeWitt County:

Jackknife Accidents

A jackknife occurs when the trailer and cab skid in opposite directions, folding like a pocket knife. On icy winter mornings along I-55 or I-74 in DeWitt County, sudden braking can cause the trailer to swing across multiple lanes, sweeping up anything in its path.

These accidents often result from:

Improper braking on wet or icy roads (common in Illinois winters)
Speeding through curves
Brake system failures
Empty or improperly loaded trailers

The injuries are catastrophic because the trailer essentially becomes a giant scythe cutting through traffic. When we investigate jackknife accidents, we look at the ECM data for braking patterns and the maintenance records for brake defects.

Underride Collisions

Perhaps the deadliest type of trucking accident, an underride occurs when a smaller vehicle slides underneath the trailer, often shearing off the roof of the passenger compartment. Rear underride guards are required under 49 CFR § 393.86, but they’re not always effective. Side underride guards aren’t federally mandated at all, despite being proven lifesavers.

These accidents happen frequently at intersections in DeWitt County when trucks make wide right turns or when stopped trucks aren’t visible in time on dark rural roads. The result is usually decapitation or catastrophic head trauma. We’ve recovered millions for families who’ve lost loved ones in underride accidents, holding both the trucking company and trailer manufacturers accountable.

Rollover Accidents

Central Illinois’s flat terrain doesn’t eliminate rollover risks. Trucks overturn on ramps, interstate shoulders, and rural county roads when:

Speed is excessive for curves
Cargo shifts during transport (violating 49 CFR § 393.100)
Drivers overcorrect and lose control
High winds hit high-profile trailers

Rollovers often spill cargo across highways, creating secondary accidents. We investigate the cargo manifest and securement documentation to determine if improper loading contributed to the crash.

Rear-End Collisions

An 80,000-pound truck needs 525 feet to stop at highway speed. When truck drivers in DeWitt County are distracted, fatigued, or following too closely on I-55, they can’t stop in time to avoid crushing smaller vehicles.

These cases often involve Hours of Service violations—the driver was on their 13th hour behind the wheel when they should have been resting. We download the ELD data to prove fatigue, and we examine cell phone records to prove distraction.

Tire Blowout Accidents

“Road gators”—shreds of tire tread left on highways—are a common sight on I-74 through DeWitt County. When steer tires blow out, drivers lose control instantly. When trailer tires blow, debris strikes following vehicles or causes the driver to jackknife.

Tire blowouts result from:

Underinflation (violating 49 CFR § 393.75)
Overloading beyond tire capacity
Worn tread below legal minimums
Improper maintenance

We preserve the failed tire for defect analysis and review maintenance logs to see if the company knew the tire was dangerous.

Cargo Spills and Hazmat Accidents

DeWitt County’s agricultural economy means trucks haul grain, chemicals, and equipment on local roads. When cargo spills—whether from improper securement or overweight loads—it creates immediate dangers for other drivers.

Hazardous materials spills are particularly dangerous. Trucks carrying agricultural chemicals or fuel must carry $5 million in insurance under federal law. These cases require immediate environmental cleanup documentation and investigation of § 393.119 (hazmat securement rules).

Wide Turn Accidents (“Squeeze Play”)

Clinton’s downtown streets and rural intersections force trucks to make wide right turns, swinging left first to create room. When drivers fail to check mirrors or signal properly, vehicles in the blind spot get crushed between the truck and curb.

These accidents often involve § 392.11 violations (unsafe lane changes) and § 393.80 (inadequate mirrors). We examine driver training records to see if they were taught proper turning procedures.

Who Can Be Held Liable in Your DeWitt County Trucking Accident?

Unlike car accidents where usually only one driver is at fault, 18-wheeler accidents often involve multiple liable parties. We investigate every potential defendant to maximize your recovery.

1. The Truck Driver

The driver who caused the accident may be personally liable for:

Speeding or reckless driving
Distracted driving (texting, eating, using dispatch devices)
Fatigued driving beyond HOS limits
Impaired driving (drugs, alcohol, prescription medications)
Failure to conduct pre-trip inspections

We subpoena their driving record, drug test results, and employment history to prove they were unfit to drive.

2. The Trucking Company (Motor Carrier)

This is often the primary defendant because they have the deepest pockets. Under respondeat superior, companies are liable for their employees’ negligent acts during employment. Additionally, we pursue direct negligence claims:

Negligent Hiring: Failing to check the driver’s background or CDL status
Negligent Training: Inadequate safety training
Negligent Supervision: Failing to monitor ELD compliance
Negligent Maintenance: Skipping required brake inspections
Negligent Scheduling: Pressuring drivers to violate HOS rules

Trucking companies carry $750,000 to $5 million in insurance. As client Chad Harris said, “You are NOT just some client… You are FAMILY to them.” That’s how we treat every DeWitt County case—digging deep to hold companies accountable when they prioritize profits over safety.

3. The Cargo Owner/Shipper

If a shipper in Decatur or Bloomington loaded your truck beyond capacity or failed to disclose hazardous cargo, they share liability. We examine bills of lading and loading instructions to prove they contributed to unsafe conditions.

4. The Loading Company

Third-party warehouses that load trucks may be liable for:

Improper cargo securement (violating 49 CFR § 393.100)
Unbalanced load distribution
Exceeding weight ratings
Failure to use proper tiedowns

5. Truck and Parts Manufacturers

When brake systems fail, tires blow out, or steering mechanisms lock up despite proper maintenance, the manufacturer may be liable under product defect theories. We check for recall notices, NHTSA complaints, and similar failure patterns.

6. Maintenance Companies

Third-party mechanics who negligently repair trucks—using wrong parts, improper techniques, or returning vehicles with known defects—can be sued for negligent repair.

7. Freight Brokers

Brokers who arrange shipping but don’t own trucks may be liable for negligent selection of carriers with poor safety records. We examine how they vetted the trucking company and whether they chose the cheapest option despite safety concerns.

8. Government Entities

When dangerous road design, inadequate signage, or failure to maintain DeWitt County roads contributes to the accident, government entities may share liability. However, Illinois has strict notice requirements and sovereign immunity limits, so these claims require immediate action.

The 48-Hour Evidence Preservation Protocol

Why Immediate Action Saves Cases

Here’s a truth that keeps us awake at night: critical evidence in your DeWitt County trucking accident can disappear within 48 hours.

Trucking companies have “rapid response teams” that arrive at accident scenes before the tow trucks leave. Their job is to protect the company, not you. They download ECM data, coach drivers, and sometimes “lose” incriminating records.

We stop that.

When you call 1-888-ATTY-911, we immediately send a spoliation letter to the trucking company, their insurer, and all potential defendants. This legal notice puts them on record that destroying evidence will result in serious sanctions, including court-ordered penalties and adverse inference instructions (where the jury is told to assume the destroyed evidence was unfavorable to the company).

What We Preserve

Electronic Data:

ECM/Black Box Data: Records speed, braking, throttle position, and fault codes for 30-180 seconds before impact. Overwrites in 30 days.
ELD (Electronic Logging Device): Proves hours of service violations. Retained only 6 months.
GPS/Telematics: Tracks route history and speed.
Dashcam Footage: Often deleted within 7-14 days.
Cell Phone Records: Proves distracted driving.

Driver Records:

Driver Qualification File (CDL, medical certs, training)
Drug and alcohol test results
Previous employer safety history
Internal disciplinary records

Vehicle Records:

Maintenance and repair logs
Pre-trip and post-trip inspection reports
Out-of-service orders and repairs
Tire and brake replacement records

Company Records:

Dispatch logs showing scheduling pressure
Safety policies and violation histories
CSA (Compliance, Safety, Accountability) scores
Insurance policies and coverage limits

Why This Matters for DeWitt County Victims

The rural nature of DeWitt County means accidents often happen far from major cities. By the time you get home from the hospital, the truck might already be gone—towed to a facility where evidence “disappears.”

We’ve handled cases where the trucking company claimed the ECM was “damaged” in the crash and couldn’t be downloaded. We know that’s often a lie. When we send our preservation letter immediately, we create a legal duty that makes destroying evidence far more dangerous for them than complying.

Lupe Peña, our associate attorney who previously defended insurance companies, knows exactly how trucking insurers try to hide or destroy evidence. He uses that insider knowledge to ensure we get the full story.

Catastrophic Injuries: Understanding the Full Impact

The physics of an 80,000-pound vehicle hitting a 4,000-pound car don’t leave room for minor injuries. We regularly help DeWitt County families dealing with:

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Even “mild” concussions can cause lifelong cognitive issues. Severe TBI results in:

Memory loss and confusion
Personality changes
Inability to work
Requirement for 24/7 care

Our firm has recovered $1.5 million to $9.8 million for TBI victims, ensuring they have resources for the best possible rehabilitation.

Spinal Cord Injury and Paralysis

Spinal injuries from trucking accidents often result in paraplegia or quadriplegia. Lifetime care costs range from $1.1 million to $5 million+, not including lost wages or pain and suffering.

We work with life-care planners to calculate every future need—wheelchairs, home modifications, medical equipment, and personal care attendants.

Amputation

When the crush forces of an 18-wheeler result in traumatic amputation or surgical removal of limbs, victims face:

Prosthetics costing $5,000-$50,000 each, replaced every 3-5 years
Phantom limb pain
Career limitations
PTSD and body image trauma

We’ve secured $1.9 million to $8.6 million for amputation clients, including our case where a client suffered partial leg amputation following a car accident that led to staph infection.

Severe Burns and Disfigurement

Tanker trucks and hazmat carriers create fire risks. Burns cause:

Permanent scarring requiring multiple skin grafts
Contractures limiting movement
Chronic pain
Psychological trauma

Wrongful Death

When trucking accidents take loved ones, Illinois law allows surviving spouses, children, and parents to recover:

Lost future income and benefits
Loss of consortium (companionship, guidance)
Mental anguish
Funeral expenses

We’ve recovered $1.9 million to $9.5 million in wrongful death cases, though no amount can replace your loved one. As client Ernest Cano said, “Mr. Manginello and his firm are first class. Will fight tooth and nail for you.”

Illinois Insurance Requirements and Damage Recovery

Federal Insurance Minimums

Federal law mandates that commercial trucking companies carry:

$750,000 minimum for non-hazardous freight
$1,000,000 for oil, equipment, and certain other commodities
$5,000,000 for hazardous materials and passenger transport

Many carriers carry $1-5 million in coverage through primary and umbrella policies. Unlike passenger car accidents where you might face a $30,000 policy limit, trucking accidents have sufficient coverage to actually compensate catastrophic injuries.

Types of Damages Available

Economic Damages:

Medical expenses (past and future)
Lost wages and lost earning capacity
Property damage
Life care costs
Rehabilitation expenses

Non-Economic Damages:

Pain and suffering
Mental anguish
Loss of enjoyment of life
Disfigurement
Loss of consortium

Punitive Damages:
Available when trucking companies act with recklessness, gross negligence, or willful disregard for safety—such as knowingly hiring dangerous drivers, falsifying logs, or destroying evidence.

Comparative Negligence in Illinois

Illinois follows a modified comparative negligence system with a 51% bar. If you’re 0-50% at fault, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of blame. If you’re 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing.

Trucking companies love to blame victims. They’ll claim you were speeding, following too closely, or failed to yield. We fight back with ECM data, ELD records, and accident reconstruction to prove the truth.

Frequently Asked Questions About DeWitt County Truck Accidents

What should I do immediately after a truck accident in DeWitt County?

Call 911 and seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel fine. Adrenaline masks pain, and internal injuries may not show symptoms for days. Document everything: take photos of the truck, your vehicle, the scene, and your injuries. Get the driver’s CDL number, the trucking company name, and witness contact information. Then call 1-888-ATTY-911 before talking to any insurance adjuster.

How long do I have to file a lawsuit?

In Illinois, you have two years from the date of the accident for personal injury claims, and two years for wrongful death. However, you should never wait that long. Evidence disappears, witnesses move, and trucking companies build their defenses immediately. Contact us within days for the best outcome.

Who can be held liable?

Multiple parties: the driver, trucking company, cargo owner, loading company, truck manufacturer, parts manufacturers, maintenance companies, freight brokers, and potentially government entities for dangerous road conditions. We investigate every angle.

What is a spoliation letter?

A legal notice demanding preservation of all evidence, including ECM data, ELD logs, maintenance records, and driver files. We send these within hours of being retained to prevent destruction of critical evidence.

How much is my case worth?

It depends on injury severity, medical costs, lost wages, available insurance, and liability clarity. Trucking companies carry $750K-$5M in insurance. We’ve recovered millions for clients, including a $5+ million settlement for a traumatic brain injury and $3.8+ million for an amputation case.

What are hours of service violations?

Federal rules limit truckers to 11 hours of driving after 10 hours off-duty, with mandatory breaks. Violations cause fatigue-related accidents. ELDs record this data, but it can be overwritten in 30 days—so we act fast.

Can I sue if I was partially at fault?

Yes, under Illinois law, as long as you’re 50% or less at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of blame. We work to minimize your fault percentage through evidence gathering.

What if the trucking company offers a quick settlement?

Don’t accept it. Early offers are designed to pay you before you know the full extent of your injuries. Once you accept, you waive your right to additional compensation. Let us evaluate the offer first.

Do I need a lawyer if the accident wasn’t my fault?

Absolutely. Trucking companies have teams of lawyers working to minimize your payout. You need someone fighting for you. Plus, we work on contingency—you pay nothing unless we win.

What’s the difference between a truck accident and a car accident?

Everything. Trucking accidents involve federal regulations, higher insurance limits, multiple liable parties, and complex evidence (ECM data, ELDs, driver qualification files). The injuries are typically catastrophic. You need a lawyer who understands FMCSA regulations.

What if the truck driver was an independent contractor?

The trucking company may still be liable under various theories, including negligent hiring or contractual control. We examine all relationships to find every available insurance policy.

How do you prove the driver was fatigued?

ELD data shows driving hours. ECM data can show erratic driving patterns. Dispatch records may reveal impossible delivery schedules. Cell phone records prove if they were texting instead of resting.

What if the truck had a brake failure?

We examine maintenance records under 49 CFR Part 396. If the company skipped inspections or ignored known defects, they’re liable. We also investigate the parts manufacturer for defective components.

Can undocumented immigrants file claims?

Yes. Immigration status does not prevent you from filing a personal injury claim. You have the same rights to compensation. Hablamos Español—call Lupe Peña at 1-888-ATTY-911.

What if my loved one was killed?

You may file a wrongful death claim. Illinois allows surviving spouses, children, and parents to recover damages including lost income, loss of consortium, and mental anguish. Time is critical—call us immediately.

How are your fees structured?

We work on contingency fee. You pay nothing upfront. We advance all costs. We only get paid if we win your case. Standard fees are 33.33% pre-trial, 40% if trial is necessary.

Do you handle cases in DeWitt County?

Yes. While our offices are in Houston, Austin, and Beaumont, we handle 18-wheeler accidents throughout Illinois, including Clinton and all of DeWitt County. We offer remote consultations and travel to you.

What’s the biggest mistake truck accident victims make?

Waiting too long to call a lawyer. Evidence disappears fast. The second biggest mistake? Giving recorded statements to insurance adjusters without counsel. They use your words against you.

How do I get started?
