Crawford County 18-Wheeler Accident Attorneys
When 80,000 Pounds Changes Your Life Forever
The physics aren’t fair. Your SUV weighs 4,000 pounds. The semi-truck that just pulled out in front of you on Interstate 40? Up to 80,000 pounds. That’s twenty times your vehicle’s mass, barreling through Crawford County at 70 miles per hour. In the split second before impact, you don’t stand a chance.
Every year, families across Crawford County, Arkansas, find their lives permanently altered by 18-wheeler accidents. The Fort Smith metropolitan area sits at the crossroads of major freight corridors—I-40 cuts east-west through our county, while I-49 funnels massive commercial traffic north toward Joplin and south toward Texarkana. These aren’t just highways; they’re lifelines for the trucking industry, and when something goes wrong on these roads, the consequences are catastrophic.
If you’re reading this from a hospital room in Fort Smith, Van Buren, or Alma—or if you’re grieving a loved one who didn’t survive their encounter with a commercial truck—you need to know your rights. You need to know that the trucking company already has lawyers working to protect their interests. And you need to know that Attorney911 has been fighting for Arkansas families just like yours for over 25 years.
Ralph Manginello, our managing partner, has been handling trucking accident cases since 1998. He’s secured multi-million dollar settlements for victims of traumatic brain injuries, amputations, and wrongful death. Our associate attorney, Lupe Peña, spent years working as an insurance defense lawyer—he knows exactly how trucking insurers try to minimize claims from the inside, and now he uses that knowledge to fight for you. With offices in Houston, Austin, and Beaumont, Texas, we regularly handle cases throughout western Arkansas, and our federal court admission means we can represent you in Crawford County regardless of where the trucking company is headquartered.
But time isn’t on your side. That truck’s black box data—critical evidence showing speed, braking, and violations of federal Hours-of-Service regulations—could be overwritten in 30 days or less. The trucking company has already sent their rapid-response team to the scene. While they’re preserving evidence to protect themselves, vital proof of their negligence is disappearing.
Call us now at 1-888-ATTY-911. We answer 24/7 because we know trucking accidents don’t happen on business hours.
Why Crawford County 18-Wheeler Accidents Are Different
The Geography of Danger
Crawford County isn’t flat. The Ozark Mountains create challenging terrain for even experienced truck drivers. Interstate 40 winds through the Arkansas River Valley with steep grades, sharp curves near Cedarville, and weather conditions that change rapidly as storms move through the Boston Mountains. Highway 71—now largely replaced by the I-49 corridor—remains a vital freight route connecting the Port of Fort Smith to national distribution networks.
When you combine heavy freight traffic with Ozark topography, you get a perfect storm for certain types of accidents:
- Rollovers on I-40 curves near the Oklahoma state line
- Runaway trucks descending into the Arkansas River Valley
- Jackknife accidents during winter ice storms on bridges
- Brake failure crashes from overheated systems after long descents
These aren’t fender-benders. These are life-ending or life-changing events.
Federal Regulations That Protect You
Every 18-wheeler on Crawford County roads must comply with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations, codified in Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR). When trucking companies violate these rules, they create the dangerous conditions that cause catastrophic accidents.
Hours of Service Violations (49 CFR Part 395):
- Drivers cannot operate beyond 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off duty
- They can’t drive beyond the 14th consecutive hour after coming on duty
- Mandatory 30-minute break required after 8 cumulative hours driving
- 60/70 hour weekly limits with required 34-hour restart
Despite these rules, driver fatigue causes nearly one-third of all fatal truck crashes. Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) track compliance, but some companies pressure drivers to falsify logs or drive while exhausted.
Vehicle Maintenance Requirements (49 CFR Part 396):
- Systematic inspection, repair, and maintenance mandatory
- Pre-trip and post-trip driver inspections required
- Annual comprehensive inspections for all commercial vehicles
- Brake systems must meet specific performance standards (49 CFR § 393.40)
When trucking companies defer maintenance to save money—skipping brake adjustments, ignoring worn tires, or failing to secure cargo properly—they violate federal law and endanger everyone on Highway 71 or I-40.
Driver Qualification Standards (49 CFR Part 391):
- MandatoryCommercial Driver’s License (CDL) with proper endorsements
- Medical certification every 24 months (or less for certain conditions)
- Pre-employment and random drug/alcohol testing (49 CFR Part 382)
- Complete Driver Qualification File maintained by employer
If a Crawford County trucking accident involves an unqualified driver—someone without proper licensing, with a history of safety violations, or operating under the influence—the trucking company may be liable for negligent hiring.
The 18-Wheeler Accident Types We See in Crawford County
Jackknife Accidents
A jackknife occurs when the truck’s trailer swings out perpendicular to the cab, folding like a pocket knife. On Crawford County’s curving stretches of I-40 or the steep grades near Mountainburg, these accidents often block multiple lanes and trigger massive pile-ups.
Common causes in our area:
- Sudden braking on wet or icy Ozark roads
- Improper braking technique by inexperienced drivers on mountain grades
- Empty or lightly loaded trailers (common in the manufacturing sector)
- Brake system failures from deferred maintenance
Injuries: Multi-vehicle involvement often leads to traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and fatalities. Vehicles struck by the sweeping trailer experience devastating impact forces.
Rollover Accidents
Given Crawford County’s terrain, rollovers are tragically common. An 18-wheeler tips onto its side or roof due to high center of gravity and centrifugal force on curves.
Why they happen here:
- Excessive speed on I-40 curves near Dyer or Chester
- Taking exit ramps too quickly (Fort Smith has several tight interchanges)
- Improperly secured cargo shifting during turns
- Liquid cargo “slosh” (tanker trucks transporting chemicals or fuel)
Injuries: Crushing injuries when vehicles slide beneath the trailer, fuel fires causing severe burns, and catastrophic head trauma.
Underride Collisions
Perhaps the most deadly type of 18-wheeler accident. A smaller vehicle crashes into the rear or side of the trailer and slides underneath, shearing off the passenger compartment at windshield level.
While federal law requires rear impact guards (49 CFR § 393.86) on trailers manufactured after 1998, these guards sometimes fail in impacts over 30 mph. Side underride guards remain optional, creating deadly gaps on the passenger side of trailers—exactly where a driver might end up during a lane change on I-49.
Injuries: Often instantly fatal. Survivors typically suffer decapitation or catastrophic head injuries.
Rear-End Collisions
A fully loaded truck requires nearly 40% more stopping distance than a passenger car. At 65 mph, an 18-wheeler needs approximately 525 feet—two football fields—to stop. When traffic backs up on I-40 near Fort Smith during rush hour or around construction zones, distracted or fatigued truck drivers often can’t stop in time.
Evidence we pursue:
- ECM data showing following distance
- Cell phone records proving distraction
- ELD data revealing Hours-of-Service violations
Brake Failure Accidents
The Ozark terrain kills brakes. Truck drivers descending from the Oklahoma mountains into Crawford County face long, steep grades that overheat brake systems. Without proper use of engine brakes (jake brakes) and runaway truck ramps, brake fade becomes inevitable.
FMCSA violations we investigate:
- Failure to perform pre-trip brake inspections (49 CFR § 396.13)
- Improper brake adjustment (49 CFR §§ 393.47-393.48)
- Deferred maintenance documented in repair records
Injuries: High-speed impact collisions, multi-vehicle pileups on interstate highways.
Cargo Spill and Shift Accidents
Crawford County’s manufacturing and agricultural sectors generate significant freight traffic. Improperly secured loads—whether steel beams from local foundries, poultry from area farms, or retail goods bound for Fort Smith distribution centers—can shift during transit, causing rollovers or spill onto roadways.
Federal regulations (49 CFR §§ 393.100-136) mandate specific securement requirements:
- Aggregate working load limits must equal at least half the cargo weight
- Minimum number of tiedowns based on cargo length
- Blocking, bracing, and friction requirements
When loading companies cut corners, innocent drivers on Highway 64 or I-40 pay the price.
Who Can Be Held Liable? (It’s More Than Just the Driver)
Unlike car accidents where typically only one driver is at fault, 18-wheeler crashes usually involve multiple liable parties. Attorney911 investigates every possible defendant because more defendants means more insurance coverage—and better compensation for your injuries.
1. The Truck Driver
Direct liability for:
- Speeding or reckless driving on Crawford County roads
- Distracted driving (cell phone use, dispatch communications)
- Driving while fatigued beyond federal limits
- Operating under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Failure to inspect brakes and tires before driving
- Violation of Arkansas traffic laws or FMCSA regulations
We subpoena the driver’s personal driving record, cell phone logs, and drug/alcohol test results.
2. The Trucking Company (Motor Carrier)
Under Arkansas law and federal regulations, employers are responsible for their employees’ negligent acts within the scope of employment (vicarious liability). But trucking companies can also be directly negligent for:
Negligent Hiring: Failure to verify CDL status, check driving history, or review medical certifications before hiring.
Negligent Training: Inadequate training on mountain driving techniques, cargo securement, or Hours-of-Service compliance.
Negligent Supervision: Failure to monitor ELD data, allowing HOS violations, or ignoring driver complaints about vehicle safety.
Negligent Maintenance: Skipping required inspections, deferring brake repairs, or using substandard parts to cut costs.
We demand the company’s Driver Qualification Files, maintenance records, and CSA (Compliance, Safety, Accountability) safety scores through FMCSA databases.
3. The Cargo Owner or Shipper
Companies shipping goods through Crawford County—whether manufactured products from Fort Smith’s industrial parks or agricultural goods from area farms—may be liable if they:
- Demand overloaded trucks exceeding weight limits
- Fail to disclose hazardous cargo properties
- Provide improper loading instructions
- Pressure carriers to meet unrealistic delivery deadlines
4. Cargo Loading Companies
Third-party warehouses or distribution centers that physically load trailers may be liable for:
- Improper weight distribution causing rollovers
- Inadequate tiedowns or missing edge protectors
- Failure to use blocking and bracing for heavy loads
- Securing cargo designed to shift (liquid, grain, aggregates)
5. Truck and Parts Manufacturers
Defective components cause catastrophic failures:
- Brake systems prone to overheating or premature failure
- Tires prone to blowouts (especially dangerous at high speeds on I-40)
- Steering mechanisms with design defects
- Fuel tank placement creating fire hazards
We investigate recall notices, Technical Service Bulletins, and similar complaints through NHTSA databases.
6. Maintenance Companies
Third-party repair shops that service commercial fleets may be liable for negligent repairs—such as improper brake adjustments, using wrong replacement parts, or returning vehicles to service with known safety defects.
7. Freight Brokers
Companies arranging transportation between shippers and carriers may be liable for negligent selection—hiring carriers with poor safety records, inadequate insurance, or histories of FMCSA violations.
8. Government Entities
In limited circumstances, state or local government may share liability:
- Dangerous road design on Arkansas highways
- Failure to maintain safe road surfaces
- Inadequate signage for steep grades or sharp curves
- Failure to install guardrails or median barriers
Arkansas allows claims against government entities but requires specific notice procedures within shorter timeframes—another reason to contact us immediately at 888-ATTY-911.
The 48-Hour Evidence Preservation Crisis
If you remember nothing else from this page, remember this: Trucking companies are not on your side, and evidence disappears fast.
Within hours of a Crawford County 18-wheeler accident, the trucking company dispatches a rapid-response team to the scene. Their goal? Protect their interests, not yours. Meanwhile, critical evidence that could prove negligence is being lost forever.
Critical destruction timelines:
- ECM/Black Box Data: Overwrites in 30 days or with subsequent driving events
- Dashcam Footage: Often deleted within 7-14 days
- ELD Logs: FMCSA requires only 6-month retention (though litigation extends this)
- Witness Statements: Memories fade within days; testimony becomes unreliable
- Physical Evidence: Vehicles get repaired, sold, or scrapped
- Surveillance Video: Local businesses overwrite footage in 7-30 days
The Spoliation Letter
When you hire Attorney911, we send a spoliation letter within 24 hours to every potentially liable party—the driver, trucking company, maintenance shop, and cargo loader—placing them on legal notice to preserve all evidence.
This letter demands preservation of:
- ECM and ELD data downloads
- Driver Qualification Files
- Maintenance and inspection records
- Cell phone records and dispatch communications
- GPS and telematics data
- Video recordings from dashcams or nearby businesses
- Physical inspection of the truck and trailer
Once a party receives this letter, destroying evidence becomes “spoliation”—a serious legal violation. Courts can sanction defendants, instruct juries to assume destroyed evidence was unfavorable, or even enter default judgment against spoliating parties.
As client Chad Harris told us after we preserved critical evidence in his case: “You are NOT just some client… You are FAMILY to them.”
Don’t wait. Call 1-888-ATTY-911 now.
Arkansas Law: Your Rights After a Crawford County Trucking Accident
Statute of Limitations
In Arkansas, you have three years from the date of your 18-wheeler accident to file a personal injury lawsuit (Ark. Code Ann. § 16-56-105). For wrongful death claims, the timeframe is also three years from the date of death.
Important: While three years seems generous compared to some states (Texas allows only two years), waiting is dangerous. Evidence disappears, witnesses relocate, and trucking companies leverage delays to build defenses. Contact Attorney911 immediately to protect your claim.
Modified Comparative Negligence
Arkansas follows a “modified comparative fault” rule with a 50% bar. This means:
- You can recover damages if you are 49% or less at fault
- Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault (if you’re 20% at fault, you recover 80% of your damages)
- If you are 50% or more at fault, you recover nothing
Trucking companies and their insurers often try to blame victims—claiming you were speeding, following too closely, or failed to avoid the collision. We fight these allegations with ECM data, accident reconstruction, and expert testimony to maximize your recovery percentage.
UnlikeTexas, Arkansas does NOT bar recovery at 51%—you have slightly more leeway, but you still need an attorney to prove the truck driver was primarily responsible for the crash on Interstate 40 or Highway 71.
Damage Caps
Good news for Crawford County victims: Arkansas does not cap compensatory damages (economic and non-economic) in personal injury cases. This means your recovery for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life is unlimited based on the facts of your case.
Punitive Damages: Arkansas allows punitive damages when defendants act with “malice” or “willful or wanton conduct”—such as knowingly keeping dangerous drivers on the road, falsifying log books, or destroying evidence. Unlike some states that cap punitive awards, Arkansas has no statutory cap on punitive damages in trucking accidents, though constitutional due process limits apply.
Compensation Available for Crawford County Trucking Accident Victims
Economic Damages (Tangible Losses)
- Medical Expenses: Emergency treatment at Mercy Hospital Fort Smith or Washington Regional Medical Center, surgeries, rehabilitation, prescription medications, medical equipment, and future care needs
- Lost Wages: Income lost during recovery, including lost benefits and bonuses
- Lost Earning Capacity: If your injuries prevent returning to your previous occupation (common with TBI or spinal injuries)
- Property Damage: Vehicle replacement or repair, personal property destroyed in the crash
- Out-of-Pocket Costs: Transportation to medical appointments, home modifications for disabilities, in-home care services
Non-Economic Damages (Quality of Life)
- Pain and Suffering: Physical pain from injuries and treatment
- Mental Anguish: Psychological trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression
- Loss of Enjoyment of Life: Inability to participate in hobbies, sports, or family activities you enjoyed before the crash
- Disfigurement: Scarring from burns or surgical interventions
- Loss of Consortium: Impact on your marital relationship and family dynamics
Punitive Damages
Available when the trucking company acted with gross negligence or reckless disregard for safety—such as allowing a driver with multiple DUIs to operate an 80,000-pound vehicle, or consciously ignoring federal safety regulations to meet delivery deadlines.
Common Questions About Crawford County Trucking Accidents
What Should I Do Immediately After an 18-Wheeler Accident in Crawford County?
If you’re able:
- Call 911 and report the accident to Arkansas State Police or local law enforcement
- Seek immediate medical attention at Mercy Hospital Fort Smith or a trauma center—even if injuries seem minor
- Photograph the scene, vehicle damage, skid marks, and your injuries
- Get the truck driver’s CDL information, employer name, and DOT number
- Collect witness contact information
- Do NOT give recorded statements to any insurance company
- Call Attorney911 at (888) 288-9911 immediately
Should I Accept the Insurance Company’s First Settlement Offer?
Absolutely not. First offers are intentionally low, designed to settle before you understand the full extent of your injuries. Many Crawford County victims accept $25,000 or $50,000 only to discover months later they need $500,000 in future medical care. As client Glenda Walker advised: “They fought for me to get every dime I deserved”—and that fight begins by rejecting the lowball offer.
How Much Is My Crawford County Trucking Accident Case Worth?
Case values depend on:
- Severity of injuries (catastrophic injuries like TBI or paralysis command higher settlements)
- Medical expenses and future care needs
- Impact on ability to work
- Degree of defendant negligence (punitive damages potential)
- Available insurance coverage (typically $750,000 to $5 million)
We’ve recovered settlements ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions. Ralph Manginello’s track record includes a $5 million settlement for a traumatic brain injury and a $3.8 million recovery for a car accident amputation. While past results don’t guarantee future outcomes, we have the experience to maximize your recovery.
Can I Recover If I Was Partially At Fault?
Yes. Under Arkansas’s modified comparative negligence rule (50% bar), you can recover damages as long as you were 49% or less responsible for the accident. Your recovery is reduced by your fault percentage. Don’t assume you can’t sue—the trucking company wants you to believe it’s your fault. Let us investigate the ECM data and driver logs to prove otherwise.
What Are Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) and Why Do They Matter?
Since December 2017, federal law requires commercial trucks to use ELDs that automatically record:
- Driving time (proving Hours-of-Service violations)
- GPS location (confirming routes through Crawford County)
- Speed data before the crash
- Engine diagnostics
This electronic evidence provides objective proof of driver fatigue or speeding, often contradicting the driver’s version of events.
How Long Will My Case Take?
Simple cases with clear liability and moderate injuries may settle within 6-12 months. Complex cases involving catastrophic injuries, multiple defendants, or disputed liability may take 1-3 years. While we work efficiently, we never rush to settle before you reach maximum medical improvement—because once you settle, you can’t go back for more money.
Will My Case Go to Trial?
Most personal injury cases (approximately 95%) settle before trial. However, Attorney911 prepares every case as if it’s going to trial. Insurance companies know which lawyers are willing to go to court—and they offer better settlements to clients with trial-ready attorneys. With Ralph Manginello’s 25+ years of courtroom experience and federal court admission, we have the credibility to secure top-dollar settlements or win at trial if necessary.
Do I Have to Pay Upfront for Legal Representation?
No. Attorney911 works on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront. We advance all investigation costs, expert fees, and court expenses. We only collect a fee (typically 33.33% pre-trial or 40% if litigation is required) if we win your case. If we don’t recover compensation for you, you owe us nothing.
What If the Truck Driver Was an Independent Contractor, Not an Employee?
Liability still exists. We investigate the relationship between the driver and the trucking company. Under FMCSA regulations and Arkansas law, even owner-operators may be covered by the contracting company’s insurance, or the company may be liable for negligent selection or supervision.
Can Undocumented Immigrants File Personal Injury Claims in Arkansas?
Yes. Immigration status does not affect your right to recover compensation after a Crawford County trucking accident. Attorney911 provides confidential consultations, and Lupe Peña offers fluent Spanish-language services for Crawford County’s Hispanic community. Hablamos Español. Llame al 1-888-ATTY-911.
What Happens If the Trucking Company Is From Out of State?
Trucking companies operate interstate commerce—they’re subject to lawsuits in Arkansas if their driver caused an accident here. Attorney911 handles interstate trucking cases regularly. Our federal court admission allows us to pursue cases in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas, ensuring we can hold even out-of-state carriers accountable.
Why Do I Need a Lawyer Who Specializes in Trucking Accidents?
Trucking accidents aren’t car accidents with bigger vehicles. They involve:
- Complex FMCSA regulations most personal injury lawyers don’t understand
- Multiple potential defendants (driver, company, shipper, manufacturer)
- Higher insurance policies ($750K-$5M vs. $30K for cars)
- Sophisticated defense teams sent by national carriers
- Evidence preservation requirements that must be acted on within days
You need an attorney who knows the difference between 49 CFR Part 395 (Hours of Service) and Part 396 (Maintenance), and who has the federal court experience to handle jurisdictional issues when the trucking company is based in Texas, California, or Illinois.

Former Insurance Defense Attorney on Your Side
Here’s something most law firms can’t offer: Our associate attorney, Lupe Peña, used to work for insurance companies.
Lupe spent years defending trucking companies and their insurers. He knows their playbook. He knows how adjusters are trained to minimize your claim, what software they use to calculate “lowball” offers, and when they’re bluffing about their “final” offer.
Now he works for you. That insider knowledge translates to higher settlements and faster resolutions for Crawford County clients.
25+ Years of Federal Experience
Ralph Manginello isn’t just any trial lawyer. He’s been admitted to practice in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas since 1998 and has handled cases against Fortune 500 corporations. From the BP Texas City Refinery explosion litigation to current multi-million dollar trucking cases, Ralph brings big-firm experience with small-firm attention.
Client Donald Wilcox put it best after other firms turned him down: “One company said they would not accept my case. Then I got a call from Manginello… I got a call to come pick up this handsome check.”

Critical Dangers Specific to Crawford County Trucking
The I-40 Corridor
Interstate 40 serves as a major east-west freight corridor connecting California to North Carolina. Through Crawford County, I-40 carries massive commercial traffic—often exceeding speed limits through curves or following too closely during rush hour near Fort Smith. The mix of local traffic, tourists heading to the Ozarks, and 80,000-pound trucks creates deadly conditions.
Mountain Grades and Weather
The approach to the Oklahoma state line on I-40 involves significant elevation changes. During winter, ice storms render these roads treacherous. Truck drivers unfamiliar with Ozark weather may not adjust speed appropriately or fail to use proper braking techniques on descents, leading to runaway trucks or jackknifes.
Agricultural and Manufacturing Traffic
Crawford County’s economy relies on manufacturing, agriculture, and distribution. This means heavy truck traffic on secondary roads—poultry trucks, produce haulers, and manufacturing goods traveling between Fort Smith, Little Rock, and Oklahoma markets. These secondary highways often lack the safety features of interstates, increasing rollover and head-on collision risks.
