18-Wheeler Accident Lawyers in Crittenden County, Arkansas
When an 80,000-Pound Truck Changes Everything
One moment you’re crossing the I-40 bridge over the Mississippi River near West Memphis. The next, an 18-wheeler has jackknifed across three lanes, or a tired driver has drifted across the centerline on US-64. In Crittenden County, where major freight corridors converge and agricultural trucks share roads with family vehicles, these accidents happen far too often.
If you’re reading this, you or someone you love has likely survived a catastrophic trucking accident in Crittenden County. You’re probably facing medical bills that grow by the day, phone calls from insurance adjusters who seem more concerned with their bottom line than your recovery, and uncertainty about whether your life will ever return to normal.

Why 18-Wheeler Accidents in Crittenden County Are Different
The Physics of Devastation
An 18-wheeler isn’t just a bigger car. Fully loaded, these trucks weigh up to 80,000 pounds—twenty times the weight of an average passenger vehicle. When that much mass collides with your car at highway speeds on I-40 or I-55 in Crittenden County, the force is catastrophic. An 80,000-pound truck traveling at 65 miles per hour needs nearly two football fields to stop. Your car needs less than half that distance. When a truck driver follows too closely, drives while fatigued, or lets their vehicle drift across lanes on the flat stretches of US-70, you have nowhere to go.
The numbers tell a devastating story. Every year, commercial truck crashes kill more than 5,000 people nationwide, andCrittenden County sees its share of these tragedies. Because Crittenden County sits at the intersection of two major interstate corridors—I-40 connecting Little Rock to Memphis, and I-55 running from Missouri to Mississippi—the volume of freight traffic is enormous. Add in agricultural haulers moving crops from the Delta fields and local distribution centers serving the Memphis metro area, and our roads see constant heavy truck traffic.
Why Trucking Companies Fight Harder
Unlike car accidents where insurance might cover $30,000 or $50,000, federal law requires trucking companies to carry between $750,000 and $5 million in liability coverage. When the injuries are catastrophic—which they almost always are in 18-wheeler accidents—that higher coverage means there’s real money at stake. Trucking companies and their insurers don’t pay multi-million dollar settlements willingly. They hire rapid-response teams that arrive at accident scenes in Crittenden County before the ambulance leaves. They dispatch their own investigators to take photos, interview witnesses, and build a defense while you’re still being treated at Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare or the Regional Medical Center in Memphis.
This is why you can’t wait. Critical evidence—black box data showing speed and braking, electronic logging device (ELD) records proving driver fatigue, maintenance logs revealing deferred repairs—can be overwritten or destroyed within days. When you call 1-888-ATTY-911, we have former insurance defense attorneys on our team who know exactly how trucking companies hide evidence. We send spoliation letters within 24 hours to prevent destruction of the data that will prove your case.
Our Experience Fighting for Crittenden County Families
Ralph Manginello: 25+ Years of Trucking Litigation Experience
Ralph Manginello has been practicing law since 1998, and for over two decades, he has made trucking companies pay for their negligence. Unlike many personal injury lawyers who settle every case, Ralph has the federal court experience necessary to take on commercial carriers in complex litigation. He is admitted to practice in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, meaning he can handle cases that cross state lines—a common scenario when a trucking company based in Texas, Tennessee, or Missouri causes a crash in Crittenden County.
In addition to his courtroom victories, Ralph has fought some of the largest corporations in America. Our firm was involved in the BP Texas City refinery explosion litigation following the 2005 disaster that killed 15 workers and injured 170 more. We’ve gone toe-to-toe with Fortune 500 companies like Walmart, Amazon, FedEx, UPS, and Coca-Cola when their drivers caused harm. These experiences taught us how corporate defendants think, strategize, and try to avoid responsibility—knowledge we bring to every 18-wheeler case we handle in Crittenden County.
Our results speak for themselves. We have recovered over $50 million for clients across all practice areas, including:
- $5+ million for a traumatic brain injury victim struck by a falling log at a worksite
- $3.8+ million for a client who suffered a partial leg amputation after a car accident followed by medical complications
- $2.5+ million in truck crash recoveries
- $2+ million for a maritime worker with a back injury under the Jones Act
We don’t just settle cases—we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. Insurance companies know which attorneys are willing to walk into a courtroom, and they offer better settlements to clients represented by trial-ready lawyers.
Lupe Peña: The Former Insurance Defense Attorney Fighting for You
One of our most powerful assets is associate attorney Lupe Peña, who spent years working for a national insurance defense firm before joining Attorney911. Lupe knows exactly how trucking insurers evaluate claims, minimize payouts, and delay justice because he used to sit on their side of the table. Now, he uses that insider knowledge to fight for accident victims in Crittenden County.
When Lupe reviews your case, he knows which tactics the defense will use before they deploy them. He understands how adjusters are trained to ask leading questions designed to get you to minimize your injuries. He knows when an insurance company is bluffing about their “final offer” and when they actually have authority to pay more. This experience is invaluable when negotiating settlements for Crittenden County families.
Lupe is also a third-generation Texan fluent in Spanish. In Crittenden County, where many agricultural workers and trucking industry employees speak Spanish as their primary language, having an attorney who can communicate directly without interpreters builds trust and ensures nothing gets lost in translation.

Client Testimonials: Real People, Real Results
We’re proud of the relationships we build with our clients. Take Chad Harris, who told us: “You are NOT a pest to them and you are NOT just some client… You are FAMILY to them.”
Or Glenda Walker, who said we “fought for me to get every dime I deserved.”
Donald Wilcox came to us after another firm rejected his case. “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.”
And Angel Walle noted: “They solved in a couple of months what others did nothing about in two years.”
These aren’t just words—they reflect our commitment to treating every client like family while aggressively pursuing maximum compensation. Whether you’re in West Memphis, Marion, Earle, or anywhere in Crittenden County, you’ll get the same personal attention we’d give our own family members.
Understanding Arkansas Trucking Laws in Crittenden County
The Three-Year Clock Is Ticking
If you’ve been injured in an 18-wheeler accident in Crittenden County, Arkansas law gives you three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. For wrongful death claims, you also have three years from the date of death. While three years might sound like plenty of time, waiting is dangerous. Evidence disappears, witnesses move away or forget details, and trucking companies destroy records they are no longer legally required to keep.
The sooner you contact Attorney911, the sooner we can send preservation letters to prevent the destruction of critical evidence like ECM data, driver qualification files, and maintenance records.
Comparative Negligence in Arkansas
Arkansas follows a “modified comparative negligence” rule with a 50% bar. This means you can recover damages as long as you were less than 50% at fault for the accident. However, your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. If a jury finds you 20% responsible for the crash, your $1 million award becomes $800,000.
Trucking companies and their insurers will try to shift blame to you. They might claim you were speeding on I-40, failed to yield on US-63, or were distracted when the truck hit you. This is why we immediately investigate every accident in Crittenden County—collecting witness statements, downloading black box data, and reconstructing the collision to prove the truck driver or trucking company was solely or primarily responsible.
Punitive Damages: Punishing Gross Negligence
Unlike some states that cap punitive damages, Arkansas does not limit these awards in personal injury cases. If the trucking company acted with conscious indifference to your safety—such as knowingly hiring a driver with multiple DUI convictions, encouraging hours-of-service violations, or willfully ignoring dangerous mechanical issues—we can seek punitive damages to punish the company and deter similar conduct in the future.
Federal Regulations Every Trucking Company Must Follow
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulates all commercial vehicles operating in interstate commerce, including every 18-wheeler traveling through Crittenden County on I-40 or I-55. When trucking companies violate these regulations, they are negligent as a matter of law. We know these regulations inside and out, and we use violations to prove liability.
49 CFR Part 390: General Applicability
These rules apply to all commercial motor vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating over 10,001 pounds, vehicles designed to carry 16 or more passengers, and any vehicle transporting hazardous materials. Every trucking company operating in Crittenden County must comply.
49 CFR Part 391: Driver Qualification Standards
Before a driver can legally operate an 18-wheeler, they must:
- Be at least 21 years old for interstate commerce
- Speak and read English sufficiently to understand road signs and communicate with law enforcement
- Possess a valid commercial driver’s license (CDL) appropriate for the vehicle
- Pass a physical exam and hold a valid Medical Examiner’s Certificate
- Provide a complete employment history
- Pass pre-employment drug and alcohol testing
Trucking companies must maintain a Driver Qualification (DQ) File for every driver, containing these documents. When we handle a case in Crittenden County, we subpoena these files to check for negligent hiring, missing certifications, or falsified records.
49 CFR Part 392: Safe Driving Rules
This section contains the rules of the road for truck drivers. Critical violations include:
- § 392.3: No driver shall operate a commercial vehicle while fatigued, ill, or otherwise impaired
- § 392.4: Prohibits drug use while on duty
- § 392.5: Prohibits alcohol use within four hours of driving or while on duty
- § 392.82: Prohibits hand-held mobile phone use while driving
- § 392.6: Prohibits scheduling routes that require speeding
49 CFR Part 393: Vehicle Safety and Cargo Securement
Trucking companies must maintain their vehicles in safe operating condition. Key requirements include:
- § 393.40-55: Brake systems must be properly maintained and adjusted
- § 393.75: Tires must meet minimum tread depth requirements (4/32 inch on steering tires, 2/32 inch on others)
- § 393.100-136: Cargo must be properly secured to prevent shifting, falling, or spilling
In Crittenden County, where we see agricultural trucks hauling heavy loads and distribution center trucks carrying mixed freight, improper cargo loading causes serious accidents. When cargo shifts on I-40 curves or spills onto US-64, we investigate whether the trucking company violated these securement rules.
49 CFR Part 395: Hours of Service (HOS) Regulations
Fatigue is a leading cause of trucking accidents in Crittenden County, especially on long hauls along I-40 and I-55. Federal rules limit driving time to prevent exhaustion:
- 11-hour driving limit: No driver may drive more than 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off duty
- 14-hour duty window: Drivers cannot drive beyond the 14th consecutive hour after coming on duty
- 30-minute break: Required after 8 cumulative hours of driving
- 60/70-hour weekly limits: No driving after 60 hours in 7 days or 70 hours in 8 days
- 10-hour rest: Minimum 10 consecutive hours off duty before driving again
Since December 2017, most trucks must use Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) to track these hours. These devices create tamper-resistant records showing exactly when the driver was behind the wheel. When we download ELD data, we often find violations that prove the driver was too tired to operate safely.
49 CFR Part 396: Inspection and Maintenance
Every trucking company must systematically inspect, repair, and maintain its fleet. Drivers must conduct pre-trip and post-trip inspections, and companies must keep maintenance records for at least one year. Brake failures, tire blowouts, and lighting violations—all common causes of Crittenden County accidents—often trace back to violations of these maintenance requirements.
Types of 18-Wheeler Accidents Common in Crittenden County
Jackknife Accidents on I-40 and I-55
A jackknife occurs when the truck’s cab and trailer fold toward each other like a pocket knife, often sweeping across multiple lanes of traffic. These accidents are particularly dangerous on the flat, high-speed stretches of Interstate 40 and Interstate 55 in Crittenden County, where drivers may be traveling 70-75 mph.
Jackknifes usually result from sudden braking on slippery surfaces, equipment failure, or driver error. When a truck jackknifes on the I-40 bridge over the Mississippi River or near the I-40/I-55 interchange in West Memphis, multiple vehicles often become involved in the collision.
Evidence we gather includes ECM data showing brake application timing, maintenance records revealing brake deficiencies, and weather reports proving the driver should have reduced speed for conditions.
Underride Collisions: The Most Deadly Crashes
Underride accidents occur when a smaller vehicle slides underneath the trailer of an 18-wheeler. These are among the most fatal crashes because the top of the passenger compartment is often sheared off. Rear underride guards are required on trailers manufactured after 1998 (49 CFR § 393.86), but many trucks have inadequate or damaged guards.
On US-64 and US-70 in Crittenden County, where traffic lights and stop-and-go patterns create frequent braking situations, underride accidents occur when trucks stop suddenly and following vehicles cannot stop in time.
Rear-End Collisions and Following Too Closely
An 80,000-pound truck needs 40% more stopping distance than a passenger car. When truck drivers follow too closely on I-40 through Crittenden County—often because they’re trying to maintain speed for the long haul to Memphis or Little Rock—they create deadly hazards.
FMCSA regulations (§ 392.11) require trucks to maintain safe following distances. When a truck rear-ends your vehicle on the interstate or a state highway like AR-308, we use ECM data to prove the driver was following too closely or failed to brake in time.
Wide Turn Accidents (“Squeeze Play”)
18-wheelers need extra space to turn right. The driver must swing wide to the left before turning right, creating a gap that tempts other drivers to pass on the right. When the truck completes its turn, it crushes the vehicle in the “squeeze play.”
These accidents happen frequently in Crittenden County at intersections in Marion, West Memphis, and Earle, where agricultural trucks and distribution traffic make frequent turns. Drivers must check their mirrors and signal properly. When they fail to do so, both the driver and trucking company are liable.
Blind Spot (No-Zone) Accidents
Trucks have massive blind spots on all four sides:
- Front: 20 feet directly ahead
- Rear: 30 feet behind
- Left side: From the cab door back
- Right side: From the cab door back (largest blind spot)
When truck drivers in Crittenden County change lanes on I-40 without properly checking these mirrors, they sideswipe cars or force them off the road. These accidents often result in rollovers or collisions with guardrails along the interstate.
Tire Blowouts and Brake Failures
The hot Arkansas summers and heavy agricultural loads put extreme stress on truck tires. When tires blow out due to inadequate tread (violating 49 CFR § 393.75) or poor maintenance, drivers lose control. “Road gators”—shredded tire remnants left on the highway—also cause accidents when other drivers swerve to avoid them.
Brake failures are even more terrifying. Under Arkansas law and federal regulations, trucks must have properly maintained braking systems. When companies defer maintenance to save money, the result can be a runaway truck on a downgrade or a truck that simply cannot stop at a red light in West Memphis.
Cargo Spills and Hazmat Accidents
Crittenden County sees significant freight traffic carrying everything from agricultural chemicals to manufactured goods. When cargo isn’t properly secured per 49 CFR § 393.100-136, it can spill onto the interstate, creating obstacles and secondary accidents. Hazardous material spills require specialized cleanup and create exposure risks for nearby motorists.
Head-On Collisions
When fatigued or distracted truck drivers cross the centerline on two-lane highways in rural Crittenden County—like sections of US-63 or AR-149—the results are often fatal. Head-on collisions between an 80,000-pound truck and a 4,000-pound car close the speed differential instantly, creating catastrophic crushing injuries.
Who Can Be Held Liable for Your Crittenden County Truck Accident?
Unlike car accidents where usually only one driver is at fault, 18-wheeler accidents often involve multiple responsible parties. We investigate every potential defendant to maximize your recovery under Arkansas law.
The Truck Driver
The driver who caused the accident may be personally liable for negligent acts including:
- Speeding or driving too fast for conditions on icy Arkansas roads
- Distracted driving (texting, using dispatch devices)
- Driving while fatigued beyond HOS limits
- Operating under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Failing to conduct proper pre-trip inspections per § 396.13
- Improper lane changes or failure to yield
The Trucking Company (Motor Carrier)
Under the doctrine of respondeat superior, employers are liable for employees’ negligent acts within the scope of employment. Additionally, trucking companies are directly liable for:
- Negligent hiring: Failing to check driving records or hiring drivers with disqualifying offenses
- Negligent training: Inadequate safety training or CDL verification
- Negligent supervision: Failing to monitor ELD data for HOS violations
- Negligent maintenance: Violating 49 CFR Part 396 requirements
- Negligent scheduling: Pressuring drivers to violate hours-of-service rules
The Cargo Owner and Loading Company
In Crittenden County’s agricultural economy, trucks often haul grain, cotton, or soybeans. When these loads are improperly secured or overweight, creating rollover hazards on I-40 curves, the shipper or loader may share liability under 49 CFR § 393.
Truck and Parts Manufacturers
Defective brakes, steering systems, or tires that fail prematurely can trigger product liability claims against manufacturers. We preserve failed components for expert analysis and check for recall notices or pattern defects.
Maintenance Companies
Third-party mechanics who perform negligent repairs or return trucks to service with known safety violations can be held liable when those failures cause accidents on Arkansas highways.
Freight Brokers
Brokers who arrange transportation but fail to verify carrier safety records or hire companies with poor FMCSA safety scores may be liable for negligent selection.
Government Entities
If poor road design, inadequate signage, or failure to maintain safe road conditions contributed to the accident, state or local government entities may share liability, though sovereign immunity limits apply.
The Catastrophic Injuries We See in Crittenden County Crashes
The force of an 18-wheeler collision typically causes severe, life-altering injuries. We have extensive experience documenting these injuries to secure maximum compensation under Arkansas law.
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
When the brain impacts the inside of the skull during a violent collision, victims may suffer:
- Concussions and post-concussion syndrome
- Diffuse axonal injury
- Cognitive impairment
- Memory loss and confusion
- Personality changes
- Chronic headaches
Our firm has recovered between $1.5 million and $9.8 million for TBI victims, depending on severity and long-term impact.
Spinal Cord Injuries and Paralysis
Damage to the spinal cord can result in:
- Paraplegia: Loss of function in legs and lower body
- Quadriplegia: Loss of function in all four limbs
- Incomplete injuries: Partial loss of sensation or movement
These injuries require lifetime medical care, home modifications, and assistive devices. Recovery ranges typically run $4.7 million to $25.8 million to cover lifetime costs.
Amputations
When limbs are crushed beyond repair or must be surgically removed due to infection or vascular damage, victims face:
- Prosthetic costs ($5,000-$50,000 per device)
- Multiple prosthetics over a lifetime
- Rehabilitation and occupational therapy
- Phantom limb pain
Our amputation settlements have ranged from $1.9 million to $8.6 million.
Severe Burns
Fuel tank ruptures and hazmat spills can cause thermal or chemical burns requiring:
- Extended hospitalization
- Skin grafts and reconstructive surgery
- Treatment for infection and scarring
- Psychological counseling for disfigurement
Internal Organ Damage
Blunt trauma from truck collisions can cause:
- Liver lacerations
- Spleen rupture
- Kidney damage
- Lung contusions
- Internal bleeding
These injuries may not show immediate symptoms but can be life-threatening without emergency surgery at facilities like the Med in Memphis or Baptist Memorial Hospital.
Wrongful Death
When a trucking accident takes a loved one, Arkansas law allows surviving family members to recover:
- Lost future income and benefits
- Loss of consortium and companionship
- Mental anguish
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical costs incurred before death
Our wrongful death recoveries have ranged from $1.9 million to $9.5 million.
The 48-Hour Evidence Emergency
Every hour you wait after a Crittenden County trucking accident, evidence disappears. Here’s what’s at risk:
Electronic Data (Most Urgent)
- ECM/Black Box Data: Overwrites in as little as 30 days or with new driving events
- ELD Records: May only be retained for 6 months under FMCSA rules
- Dashcam Footage: Often deleted within 7-14 days
- GPS/Telematics: Can be lost if not preserved immediately
Physical Evidence
- The truck may be repaired or sold before inspection
- Brake components and tires may be replaced
- Skid marks fade with weather and traffic
- Debris is cleared from the roadway
Witness Evidence
- Memories fade within days
- Witnesses move away from Crittenden County
- Commercial drivers transfer routes and become unreachable
When you call 1-888-ATTY-911, we immediately dispatch preservation letters to the trucking company, their insurer, and any maintenance facilities. These letters put them on legal notice that destroying evidence will result in serious sanctions, including adverse jury instructions or default judgment.

Frequently Asked Questions About 18-Wheeler Accidents in Crittenden County
How long do I have to file a lawsuit in Arkansas?
You have three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in Crittenden County, and three years from the date of death for wrongful death claims. However, you should contact an attorney immediately to preserve evidence that could disappear within days.
What if the trucking company is from another state?
That is common. Trucks passing through Crittenden County on I-40 or I-55 may be based in Texas, Tennessee, Missouri, or elsewhere. Attorney911’s federal court admission and multistate bar licenses allow us to pursue these companies regardless of where they are headquartered.
How much is my case worth?
Every case is unique. Factors include the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and the degree of negligence involved. Trucking companies carry high insurance limits—typically $750,000 to $5 million or more—allowing for substantial recoveries in serious cases.
What if I was partially at fault?
Arkansas uses modified comparative negligence. If you were less than 50% at fault, you can still recover, but your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found 20% at fault and the jury awards $1 million, you receive $800,000.
Will my case go to trial?
Most cases settle before trial, but we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. This preparation creates leverage in negotiations and ensures we are ready if the trucking company refuses to offer fair compensation. Ralph Manginello has 25+ years of trial experience when cases must be decided by a Crittenden County jury.
How do you prove the driver was fatigued?
We download ELD data showing hours of service, review driver logs, examine dispatch records for unrealistic schedules, and investigate pay structures that incentivize driving beyond legal limits. We also obtain driver medical records to check for sleep apnea or other conditions.
What if the trucking company destroys evidence?
Once we send a spoliation letter, destroying evidence is a serious legal violation. Courts can instruct the jury to assume destroyed evidence would have been unfavorable to the trucking company, impose monetary sanctions, or even enter default judgment against the company.
Do I need a lawyer if the insurance company already offered a settlement?
YES. Early settlement offers are almost always “lowball” offers designed to pay you far less than your case is worth before you understand the full extent of your injuries. Never accept a settlement without consulting an experienced trucking attorney.
Can I file a claim if my loved one died in the accident?
Yes. Arkansas law allows certain family members—typically spouses, children, and parents—to file wrongful death claims. These cases seek compensation for lost income, loss of companionship, mental anguish, and funeral expenses.
What if the truck was carrying hazardous materials?
Hazmat accidents involve additional federal regulations and often higher insurance minimums ($5 million). These cases require specialized knowledge of chemical exposure, environmental regulations, and emergency response protocols.
How long will my case take?
Simple cases may resolve in 6-12 months. Complex litigation involving catastrophic injuries or multiple defendants may take 1-3 years. We work efficiently while ensuring we maximize your recovery.
What does it cost to hire Attorney911?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis—you pay no attorney’s fees unless we win your case. We also advance the costs of investigation and litigation. You never receive a bill from us during your case.
