18-Wheeler Accident Attorneys Fighting for Grant County Victims

The ice came out of nowhere. One moment you’re driving US-12 through Grant County,heading toward Elgin or Carson, and the next, an 80,000-pound tractor-trailer is jackknifing across the prairie highway. There are no guardrails out here on the North Dakota plains—no buffer between your vehicle and twenty tons of steel sliding on black ice. When a trucking accident happens in Grant County, it happens fast, and the consequences last forever.

If you or someone you love has been injured—or worse, killed—in an 18-wheeler accident anywhere in Grant County, you need to understand something immediately: the trucking company already has lawyers working to protect them. They’re not waiting for you to get out of the hospital. They’re not waiting for the police report. They have rapid-response teams en route to the scene while the ambulance is still loading you up for the long drive to the nearest trauma center.

We’re Attorney911, and we don’t let trucking companies get away with it. Not in Grant County. Not anywhere.

Why 18-Wheeler Accidents in Grant County Are Different

Car accidents are dangerous. Truck accidents are catastrophic. The physics don’t lie. An average passenger vehicle weighs roughly 4,000 pounds. A fully loaded semi-truck can reach 80,000 pounds under federal regulations. That’s not just bigger—that’s a twentyfold difference in mass and destructive force.

When these vehicles collide on Grant County’s rural highways, the results are devastating. US-12 cuts through the heart of the county, carrying agricultural freight from the Killdeer Mountains to the Minnesota border. I-94 sits just south, funneling Bakken crude and commercial traffic across the state. These corridors see relentless truck traffic—grain hoppers bound for the elevator in New Leipzig, cattle trucks heading to market, and long-haul freight moving through the night.

The danger intensifies during Grant County’s brutal winters. When temperatures drop to twenty below and winds howl across the prairie, truck drivers face impossible conditions. Black ice forms invisibly on US-12. Blizzards reduce visibility to zero. And yet, trucking companies pressure their drivers to maintain schedules regardless of weather. That’s when jackknives happen. That’s when runaway trucks lose control on the downgrades. That’s when innocent Grant County families get destroyed.

We know these roads. We’ve investigated accidents on the frozen stretches of Highway 49 and the winding approaches to the Heart Butte Dam. We understand that when a truck crashes in rural North Dakota, emergency response takes longer. Victims sometimes wait hours in freezing conditions before help arrives. Those delays compound the injuries—and they create unique evidentiary challenges that only experienced trucking attorneys know how to handle.

Attorney911: Grant County’s Fighter Against Big Trucking

Ralph Manginello has been fighting for injury victims since 1998. For more than 25 years, he’s taken on the largest trucking companies in America—and won. Our firm has recovered over $50 million for families devastated by catastrophic accidents, including multi-million dollar settlements for traumatic brain injuries, amputations, and wrongful death.

When Ralph Manginello takes your case, you’re not getting a junior associate fresh out of law school. You’re getting a managing partner admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, with the federal court experience necessary to handle interstate trucking cases. You’re getting a litigator who was involved in the BP Texas City refinery explosion litigation—a case that demanded the resources and expertise to take on a Fortune 500 giant and win.

But credentials alone don’t win cases in Grant County. Strategy does. That’s why our team includes Lupe Peña, a former insurance defense attorney who spent years on the other side, learning exactly how trucking insurers evaluate claims, minimize payouts, and deny legitimate injuries. Lupe knows their playbook because he used to run it. Now he uses that insider knowledge to fight for Grant County accident victims. As Chad Harris, one of our clients, told us: “You are NOT a pest to them and you are NOT just some client… You are FAMILY to them.”

We also understand that Grant County has a significant Spanish-speaking population, particularly in the agricultural and energy sectors. Lupe Peña is fluent in Spanish and provides direct representation without interpreters. Hablamos Español. Llame al 1-888-ATTY-911 for immediate assistance in Spanish.

Our track record speaks for itself. We’ve recovered over $5 million for a traumatic brain injury victim struck by a falling log, secured $3.8 million for a client who suffered a partial leg amputation after a car crash, and currently litigate a $10 million lawsuit against the University of Houston for hazing injuries that caused acute kidney failure. Currently, we are actively litigating a $10 million lawsuit against a major university—a case that has generated coverage from KHOU, ABC13, the Houston Chronicle, and national outlets. That same aggressive litigation capability serves Grant County truck accident victims.

The Federal Regulations That Protect You—And How Trucking Companies Break Them

Every 18-wheeler operating in Grant County, whether it’s hauling wheat from the Strasburg area or drilling equipment to a well site near Elgin, must comply with strict Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations. These rules are codified in Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR), Parts 390 through 399. When trucking companies violate these regulations, they create the dangerous conditions that cause catastrophic accidents.

Part 390: General Applicability

Under 49 CFR § 390.3, these regulations apply to all commercial motor vehicles operating in interstate commerce, including any vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,001 pounds or more, or any vehicle transporting hazardous materials requiring placards. This means virtually every truck on Grant County roads must comply.

Part 391: Driver Qualifications

This is where we often find the smoking gun. Under 49 CFR § 391.11, no driver shall operate a commercial motor vehicle unless they are at least 21 years old (for interstate commerce), can read and speak English sufficiently to understand road signs and communicate with the public, and possess a valid commercial driver’s license (CDL).

Critically, § 391.51 requires motor carriers to maintain a Driver Qualification (DQ) File for every driver. This file must include the employment application, a current medical examiner’s certificate (valid for no more than two years), the driver’s motor vehicle record from their licensing state, and confirmation that the carrier investigated the driver’s safety history with previous employers for the past three years.

We’ve seen trucking companies hire drivers with suspended licenses, failed drug tests, or histories of reckless driving—then fail to maintain proper DQ files. When they do this, they commit negligent hiring, and they become directly liable for the carnage their drivers cause on Grant County highways.

Part 392: Driving of Commercial Motor Vehicles

This section contains the operational rules that keep highways safe. Under 49 CFR § 392.3, “No driver shall operate a commercial motor vehicle… while the driver’s ability or alertness is so impaired, or so likely to become impaired, through fatigue, illness, or any other cause, as to make it unsafe for him/her to begin or continue to operate.”

This regulation is critical for Grant County accidents. Truck drivers pushing through blizzard conditions on US-12, fighting fatigue on the long haul from Bismarck to the Montana border, or operating while sick violate this rule—and put your family at risk.

Section 392.4 prohibits drug use, while § 392.5 prohibits alcohol consumption within four hours of driving or being under the influence with a blood alcohol concentration of .04 or higher—half the limit for passenger vehicle drivers.

Section 392.11 requires drivers to maintain safe following distances. Given that an 80,000-pound truck needs nearly two football fields to stop at highway speeds, tailgating on I-94 or US-12 is a recipe for disaster.

Section 392.82 explicitly bans hand-held mobile phone use while driving—a violation we see constantly in distracted driving cases.

Part 393: Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operations

This part governs vehicle equipment. Section 393.75 specifies minimum tire tread depths—4/32-inch for steer tires and 2/32-inch for other positions. Given the extreme cold and road conditions in Grant County, tire failures here can be catastrophic.

Sections 393.100 through 393.136 govern cargo securement. Federal law requires that cargo be contained, immobilized, or secured to prevent leaking, spilling, blowing, falling, or shifting. The performance criteria demand that securement systems withstand forces of 0.8g deceleration forward, 0.5g acceleration rearward, and 0.5g laterally.

When a grain truck takes a curve too fast on a county road near New Leipzig and spills its load, or when a flatbed’s inadequately chained equipment shifts and causes a rollover, these violations become the foundation of your negligence claim.

Part 395: Hours of Service

This is the most commonly violated regulation—and the most deadly. Under 49 CFR § 395.8, commercial drivers may drive a maximum of 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off duty. They may not drive beyond the 14th consecutive hour after coming on duty. They must take a 30-minute break after 8 cumulative hours of driving. And they face weekly limits of 60 hours in 7 days or 70 hours in 8 days.

Since December 18, 2017, the ELD Mandate requires most drivers to use Electronic Logging Devices that automatically record driving time via connection to the vehicle’s engine. These ELD logs provide objective, tamper-resistant evidence of hours-of-service violations.

When a truck driver falls asleep at the wheel on the long stretch of US-12 between Grant County and Dickinson, odds are good they’ve violated Part 395. When they lie about their hours in the logbook, they’ve committed a federal crime—and created powerful evidence of negligence.

Part 396: Inspection, Repair, and Maintenance

Section 396.3 requires carriers to systematically inspect, repair, and maintain all vehicles. Drivers must complete pre-trip inspections under § 396.13, and post-trip inspection reports under § 396.11 must cover service brakes, parking brakes, steering mechanisms, lighting devices, tires, wheels, and emergency equipment.

In the freezing temperatures of a Grant County January, brake systems fail if not meticulously maintained. Air brake lines freeze. Brake pads crack. And when carriers defer maintenance to save money, they violate federal law—and kill innocent people.

The Accidents That Destroy Lives in Grant County

Not all truck accidents are the same. Each type involves unique mechanics, distinct regulatory violations, and specific liable parties. In Grant County, we see distinct patterns tied to our geography, our weather, and our industries.

Jackknife Accidents

A jackknife occurs when the trailer swings out perpendicular to the cab, forming a “V” or “L” shape that sweeps across entire highway lanes. On the icy curves of US-12 near the Heart Butte Dam approach, or when a driver brakes suddenly on the bridge over the Knife River, jackknives are terrifyingly common.

According to the FMCSA, sudden or improper braking causes most jackknives—especially on slippery surfaces. Empty or lightly loaded trailers are actually more prone to jackknifing because they have less traction. When a truck jackknifes across both lanes of a rural Grant County highway, oncoming traffic has nowhere to go.

These accidents often violate 49 CFR § 393.48 (brake system malfunction), § 393.100 (improper cargo securement affecting weight distribution), or § 392.6 (speeding for conditions). The injuries are catastrophic—multi-vehicle pileups, crushing impacts from the sliding trailer, and rollovers of smaller vehicles attempting evasive maneuvers.

Rollover Accidents

North Dakota’s prairie highways may seem flat, but they have curves, grades, and approaches to railroad crossings that cause rollovers. When a truck rolls onto its side or roof, the 80,000-pound vehicle becomes a crushing machine. Fifty percent of rollover crashes result from failure to adjust speed on curves—exactly what happens when an out-of-state trucker underestimates a frosty curve on Grant County Road 10.

Improperly secured liquid cargo creates “slosh” that shifts the center of gravity. A tanker truck carrying drilling fluids or agricultural chemicals that takes a curve too fast near Carson can roll and spill toxic substances, creating environmental hazards alongside the physical carnage.

Rollovers frequently cause traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage from roof crush, and severe burns when fuel tanks rupture and ignite.

Underride Collisions

Perhaps the most horrific trucking accidents involve underride—when a smaller vehicle crashes into the rear or side of a trailer and slides underneath. The trailer height often shears off the passenger compartment at windshield level. The decapitation risk is extreme.

Rear underride guards are required under 49 CFR § 393.86 for trailers manufactured after January 26, 1998, but many trucks operate with worn, damaged, or inadequate guards. Side underride guards are not federally mandated at all, despite accounting for hundreds of deaths annually.

When a family sedan slides under a trailer on a dark stretch of US-12 near Elgin because the trailer lacked proper lighting or reflective tape, the results are almost always fatal or involve catastrophic head trauma.

Rear-End Collisions

An 18-wheeler requires approximately 525 feet—nearly two football fields—to stop from 65 mph. A passenger car needs roughly 300 feet. This disparity means that when traffic slows for a school bus near the Grant County school or stops for a grain truck entering a field, an inattentive truck driver plows into stopped vehicles with devastating force.

Rear-end truck collisions often involve violations of § 392.11 (following too closely), § 392.3 (fatigue), or § 392.82 (cell phone distraction). The occupants of the struck vehicle suffer whiplash, spinal cord compression, traumatic brain injury from the sudden acceleration/deceleration, and crushing injuries if pushed into other vehicles.

Wide Turn and “Squeeze Play” Accidents

Trucks swing wide before making right turns—a maneuver that confuses drivers unfamiliar with truck operations. On the narrow main streets of Carson or New Leipzig, a truck executing a wide right turn can crush a vehicle that attempts to pass on the right, or strike a pedestrian or cyclist in the blind spot.

These accidents involve violations of § 392.11 (unsafe lane changes) and often result from inadequate driver training on rural road geometry.

Blind Spot (No-Zone) Accidents

An 18-wheeler has four major blind spots: 20 feet directly in front, 30 feet behind, and large zones on both sides extending backward from the cab doors. The right-side blind spot is particularly large and dangerous. When a truck changes lanes on I-94 or US-12 without checking mirrors—or when mirrors are improperly adjusted—vehicles in these no-zones disappear.

FMCSA regulations under § 393.80 require proper mirrors, but driver inattention causes countless sideswipe accidents and forced-off-road crashes in Grant County.

Tire Blowouts and Brake Failures

Extreme temperature variations in North Dakota stress truck components. In summer, highway heat causes blowouts on underinflated tires. In winter, brake lines freeze if not properly maintained. A steer tire blowout at highway speed causes immediate loss of control. A brake failure on the downgrade approaching the Knife River valley leads to runaway trucks.

These failures often trace back to § 393.75 (tire defects) or § 396.3 (maintenance failures). The resulting debris and loss of control cause multi-vehicle accidents across Grant County highways.

Cargo Spills and Hazmat Incidents

Grant County’s economy runs on agriculture and energy. Trucks haul grain, cattle, drilling equipment, and chemicals. When cargo shifts or spills—whether a grain truck’s load destabilizes on a curve near Strasburg, or a tanker spills fracking fluid on County Road 1—the resulting spills create secondary accidents and toxic exposure risks.

Federal securement rules under §§ 393.100-136 are designed to prevent these disasters. When trucking companies cut corners on tiedowns to save time, they endanger everyone on the road.

Who Can Be Held Responsible? All Liable Parties in Grant County Truck Accidents

Most people think only the truck driver is responsible. That assumption costs victims millions. In 18-wheeler accidents, multiple parties can bear liability—and each may carry separate insurance policies. We investigate every potential defendant because more liable parties means more insurance coverage means maximum compensation for you.

The Truck Driver

The driver who caused the accident is the obvious first defendant. They may be liable for speeding, distracted driving, fatigue, impairment, or traffic violations. But individual drivers rarely have sufficient assets to cover catastrophic injuries. That’s why we look deeper.

The Trucking Company (Motor Carrier)

Under the legal doctrine of respondeat superior, employers are responsible for their employees’ negligent acts committed within the scope of employment. But trucking companies can also be directly liable for:

  • Negligent Hiring: Failing to verify the driver had a valid CDL, clean driving record, or proper medical certification under § 391.11
  • Negligent Training: Sending drivers onto Grant County’s icy roads without proper winter safety training
  • Negligent Supervision: Failing to monitor ELD data for hours-of-service violations or ignoring positive drug tests
  • Negligent Maintenance: Deferring brake repairs or tire replacements to save money
  • Negligent Scheduling: Pressuring drivers to meet impossible delivery deadlines that force them to violate Part 395

Trucking companies carry higher insurance limits than individual drivers—typically $750,000 to $5,000,000 or more—making them primary targets for recovery.

The Cargo Owner and Loading Company

The company that owned the cargo and the company that loaded it onto the truck may be liable for improper loading. When a grain elevator overfills a hopper truck, creating an overweight vehicle that cannot stop properly, or when a drilling company improperly secures heavy equipment that shifts during transport, these third parties share the blame.

The Truck and Parts Manufacturers

Defective brakes, faulty tires, or malfunctioning steering systems can cause accidents even when the driver does everything right. Product liability claims against manufacturers like Daimler, Volvo, or component suppliers can provide additional recovery sources when parts fail on Grant County highways.

The Maintenance Company

Third-party maintenance shops that service truck fleets may be liable if they perform negligent repairs, use substandard parts, or falsely certify vehicles as safe when they know brakes are defective or tires are bald.

The Freight Broker

Brokers who arrange transportation between shippers and carriers have a duty to select safe, qualified carriers. When a broker chooses the cheapest carrier available despite that carrier’s terrible safety record or lack of proper insurance, and that carrier crashes in Grant County, the broker may share liability.

The Truck Owner (If Different from the Carrier)

In owner-operator arrangements, the individual who owns the tractor may lease it to a larger carrier. Both the owner and the carrier may carry separate insurance policies, creating additional coverage pools.

Government Entities

While rare, government liability exists when dangerous road design contributes to accidents. If the North Dakota Department of Transportation failed to install adequate signage for a sharp curve on US-12, failed to maintain the roadway surface, or created a dangerous intersection near a school, sovereign liability may apply—though strict notice requirements and damage caps often limit these claims.

The 48-Hour Evidence Crisis: Why You Must Act Immediately

Evidence in 18-wheeler accidents doesn’t just fade—it disappears. Intentionally.

Trucking companies know the value of electronic evidence. They also know how to make it vanish. When you hire Attorney911, we move immediately to preserve critical evidence before it’s destroyed.

Black Box Data Overwrites in 30 Days

Commercial trucks contain Electronic Control Modules (ECM) and Event Data Recorders (EDR)—the “black box” that records speed, brake application, throttle position, and engine performance in the seconds before a crash. This data can prove the driver was speeding, failed to brake, or was distracted. But ECM data can be overwritten within 30 days or with subsequent driving events. The clock started ticking the moment the impact occurred.

ELD Logs Disappear in Six Months

Electronic Logging Devices record hours of service, location, and duty status. FMCSA only requires carriers to retain these records for six months. After that, they can be deleted legally—unless we send a spoliation letter first.

Dashcam Footage Deleted in Days

Many trucks now carry forward-facing and cabin-facing cameras. This footage can show the driver was texting, falling asleep, or simply not paying attention. But carriers often delete this footage within 7 to 14 days unless they receive legal notice to preserve it.

The Spoliation Letter

Within 24 hours of being retained for a Grant County trucking accident, we send formal spoliation letters to every potentially liable party—the driver, the carrier, the insurer, the broker, and the maintenance company. These letters put them on legal notice that litigation is anticipated and that destruction of evidence will result in severe sanctions, including adverse jury instructions and punitive damages.

We also immediately subpoena:

  • Driver Qualification Files
  • Maintenance and inspection records
  • Drug and alcohol test results
  • Cell phone records showing calls and texts at the time of the crash
  • Dispatch records and delivery schedules
  • GPS and telematics data
  • The physical truck and trailer for inspection

Waiting even a week can mean the difference between proving negligence and watching the trucking company walk away.

Catastrophic Injuries and Their Lifelong Impact

The injuries from 18-wheeler accidents aren’t “car accident injuries” scaled up—they’re qualitatively different. The massive kinetic energy transferred in these collisions causes permanent, life-altering damage.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

When the brain strikes the interior of the skull during a truck collision, the result ranges from concussions to severe diffuse axonal injuries. Moderate to severe TBI causes memory loss, personality changes, inability to concentrate, mood disorders, and permanent cognitive impairment. Victims may never return to work or live independently.

Our firm has recovered between $1.5 million and $9.8 million for traumatic brain injury victims. These funds cover not just immediate medical bills, but lifetime care, cognitive therapy, and lost earning capacity.

Spinal Cord Injury and Paralysis

The crushing forces in truck accidents frequently damage the spinal cord, resulting in paraplegia (loss of function below the waist) or quadriplegia (loss of function in all four limbs). Lifetime care costs for quadriplegia can exceed $5 million. We have secured settlements ranging from $4.7 million to $25.8 million for spinal cord injuries, ensuring our clients have access to the best rehabilitation, home modifications, and adaptive technologies available.

Amputation

Whether traumatic (severed at the scene) or surgical (required later due to crush injuries or infection), amputation changes everything. Prosthetics cost $5,000 to $50,000 per limb and require replacement every few years. Phantom limb pain, body image issues, and permanent disability require psychological support. Our amputation cases have settled for $1.9 million to $8.6 million.

Severe Burns

When fuel tanks rupture or hazmat cargo ignites, truck accidents cause devastating thermal and chemical burns. Third-degree burns covering more than 20% of the body often require dozens of skin graft surgeries and leave permanent disfigurement.

Wrongful Death

When a trucking company’s negligence kills a parent, spouse, or child in Grant County, the family faces not just emotional devastation but financial ruin. North Dakota law allows recovery for lost income, loss of consortium (companionship and guidance), mental anguish, and funeral expenses. Our wrongful death recoveries range from $1.9 million to $9.5 million—though no amount replaces a loved one.

North Dakota Law: Your Rights and Time Limits

Understanding North Dakota’s specific legal framework is crucial for Grant County accident victims.

Statute of Limitations

North Dakota provides a generous statute of limitations for personal injury claims: six years from the date of the accident. This is longer than most states and reflects the state’s rural character, allowing sufficient time for injuries to manifest and treatments to conclude.

However, wrongful death claims must be filed within two years from the date of death. And crucially, evidence preservation must happen immediately—regardless of the filing deadline. Waiting even six months to hire an attorney may result in the destruction of the black box data that proves your case.

Comparative Negligence

North Dakota follows a “modified comparative negligence” rule with a 50% bar. This means you can recover damages as long as you are not 50% or more at fault. However, your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. If you’re found 20% responsible for the accident, you recover 80% of your damages. If you’re 51% responsible, you recover nothing.

Trucking companies will try to blame victims—claiming you were speeding, failed to yield, or drove aggressively. We fight these allegations with hard evidence from the ECM and ELD data.

Damage Caps

North Dakota caps punitive damages (meant to punish egregious conduct) at the greater of two times compensatory damages or $250,000. However, there are no caps on compensatory damages for medical expenses, lost wages, or pain and suffering. Your full economic and non-economic damages are recoverable.

Insurance Coverage

Federal law requires commercial trucks to carry minimum liability insurance:

  • $750,000 for non-hazardous freight
  • $1,000,000 for oilfield equipment and certain other cargo
  • $5,000,000 for hazardous materials

Many carriers maintain $1-5 million in coverage. Additionally, commercial vehicles crossing state lines must carry MCS-90 endorsements, which guarantee minimum coverage to injured parties regardless of policy exclusions.

Frequently Asked Questions: Grant County Truck Accident Victims

How long do I have to file a truck accident lawsuit in Grant County?

North Dakota gives you six years from the accident date for personal injury claims, but only two years for wrongful death. However, critical evidence disappears within weeks. Call us immediately.

What if the truck driver was from another state?

Interstate trucking falls under federal jurisdiction. We can sue the driver and company in North Dakota federal court or state court, regardless of where they’re headquartered. Our federal court admission allows us to handle these cases seamlessly.

Can I still recover if I was partially at fault?

Yes, as long as you’re less than 50% at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your fault percentage, but you still have rights.

What if the trucking company is from Texas?

We have offices in Houston, Austin, and Beaumont, Texas. If the carrier is based there, we have home-court advantage in addition to our North Dakota capabilities. But we represent Grant County clients regardless of where the truck company is headquartered.

How much is my case worth?

It depends on injury severity, medical costs, lost income, and available insurance. Trucking cases often settle for hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. We offer free consultations to evaluate your specific situation.

Will my case go to trial?

Most settle, but we prepare every case for trial. Insurance companies settle for more when they know your lawyer will go to court.

How do I pay for medical care while waiting for settlement?

We can help connect you with medical providers who treat on a lien basis—you pay nothing upfront, and providers are paid from your settlement.

What if the trucking company calls me?

Do not speak with them. Refer them to your attorney. Anything you say will be used against you.

Do you handle cases near Elgin, Carson, and New Leipzig?

Yes. We handle truck accident cases throughout Grant County and all of southwestern North Dakota.

Do you offer Spanish language services?

Yes. Lupe Peña is fluent in Spanish. Hablamos Español. Llame al 1-888-ATTY-911.
