The impact came without warning. One moment you were driving along the familiar roads of Steuben County—perhaps heading north on I-69 toward Angola, or west on I-80 toward the Illinois border—and the next, 80,000 pounds of steel and cargo changed your life forever. If you’ve survived an 18-wheeler accident in Steuben County, you’re already facing a battle you didn’t ask for. The trucking company has lawyers. Their insurance adjusters are already working to minimize what they owe you. What you do in the next 48 hours could determine whether you recover the full compensation you deserve or settle for pennies on the dollar.
At Attorney911, we’ve spent over 25 years fighting for families devastated by commercial truck crashes across Indiana and throughout the country. Ralph Manginello, our managing partner since 1998, brings federal court experience from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas and a track record that includes multi-million dollar verdicts against Fortune 500 corporations like BP. Our associate attorney Lupe Peña spent years working inside insurance defense firms—now he uses that insider knowledge to fight for you. When an 18-wheeler leaves you broken, you need more than a lawyer. You need a team that understands exactly how trucking companies hide evidence and how to stop them.
Why 18-Wheeler Accidents in Steuben County Are Different
Think an 18-wheeler is just a bigger car? Think again. The physics alone make these cases fundamentally different from standard vehicle collisions. A fully loaded tractor-trailer can weigh up to 80,000 pounds—twenty times the weight of your average sedan. On I-69 running through Steuben County, a truck traveling at 65 mph needs nearly 525 feet to stop. That’s almost two football fields. When a truck driver loses control on the icy stretches of I-80 during an Indiana winter, or when cargo shifts on the curves near Pleasant Lake, the destruction is catastrophic.
Steuben County sits at a critical logistics crossroads. With I-69 carrying freight from Indianapolis to the Michigan border, and I-80 serving as a primary east-west corridor connecting to Chicago and beyond, our highways see heavy commercial traffic year-round. The Indiana Department of Transportation reports that these interstates serve as vital arteries for manufacturing and agricultural freight, meaning Steuben County drivers regularly share the road with fatigued truckers pushing tight delivery schedules.
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) data shows that 5,100+ people die annually in trucking accidents nationwide, with 76% of those fatalities occurring in the smaller vehicle. When these crashes happen in Steuben County—whether near the Fremont exit or along the rural stretches of Highway 20—the injuries aren’t minor. We’re talking traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, amputations, and wrongful death.
The Federal Regulations That Trucking Companies Break
Every commercial truck operating in Steuben County must comply with strict federal regulations found in Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR), Parts 390 through 399. These aren’t suggestions—they’re laws designed to keep you safe. When trucking companies violate these rules to save time or money, they put lives at risk.
49 CFR Part 390: General Applicability
This section establishes who must follow these rules. If a vehicle weighs over 10,001 pounds gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), transports 16 or more passengers, or hauls hazardous materials requiring placards, the driver and company must comply with all FMCSA regulations. Violations of Part 390 mean the trucking company failed to maintain basic safety standards applicable to their operations in Steuben County.
49 CFR Part 391: Driver Qualification Standards
Before a driver ever gets behind the wheel on I-69 through Steuben County, they must meet strict qualification standards under Part 391. They must be at least 21 years old for interstate commerce, possess a valid Commercial Driver’s License (CDL), pass a physical examination every two years, and maintain a Driver Qualification File (DQ File) with their employer.
The DQ File must contain:
- Employment application and driving record check
- Medical examiner’s certificate
- Drug and alcohol test results
- Previous employer inquiries covering three years of driving history
- Annual driving record reviews
When trucking companies hire drivers with suspended licenses or fail to verify past employment, they commit negligent hiring under 49 CFR § 391.11. We’ve handled cases where carriers skipped background checks to fill empty seats quickly—putting dangerous drivers on Steuben County roads.
49 CFR Part 392: Driving of Commercial Motor Vehicles
This section contains the rules of the road specific to truckers. Under § 392.3, no driver shall operate a commercial vehicle while their ability or alertness is impaired through fatigue, illness, or any other cause. Yet we see Steuben County crash reports where drivers admitted to being awake for 20+ hours.
Section 392.4 and 392.5 prohibit drug and alcohol use. Commercial drivers are held to a stricter standard than other motorists—a blood alcohol concentration of just .04% qualifies as legally intoxicated for CDL holders, half the .08% limit for regular drivers.
Under § 392.11, truckers must maintain adequate following distance. On the congested stretches of I-80 near the Ohio toll road, we often see evidence that truckers were tailgating passenger vehicles, leaving insufficient room to stop.
Section 392.82 specifically prohibits hand-held mobile phone use while driving. When we subpoena phone records in Steuben County cases, we frequently find drivers were texting dispatch or scrolling through apps in the moments before impact.
49 CFR Part 393: Vehicle Safety and Cargo Securement
This section governs equipment standards. Under § 393.75, truck tires must have minimum tread depth—4/32 inches on steer tires and 2/32 inches on others. Worn tires cause blowouts, which lead to jackknife accidents on Indiana’s highways.
Cargo securement rules under §§ 393.100-136 require that loads be properly tied down to withstand specific forces: 0.8g deceleration forward, 0.5g rearward, and 0.5g laterally. When loaders at Indiana distribution centers rush to get freight moving toward Michigan or Chicago, they sometimes fail to use adequate tiedowns. Shifting cargo causes rollovers on the curves near Steuben County’s rural highways.
49 CFR Part 395: Hours of Service (HOS) Regulations
These are the most commonly violated rules in trucking accidents. Under Part 395, property-carrying drivers may not:
- Drive more than 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off-duty
- Drive beyond the 14th consecutive hour after coming on duty
- Drive after accumulating 60 hours in 7 days or 70 hours in 8 days
- Skip the mandatory 30-minute break after 8 hours of driving
Since December 2017, drivers must use Electronic Logging Devices (ELD) to track these hours. The ELD connects to the truck’s engine and records actual driving time—not just what the driver writes on paper. When we download ELD data in Steuben County cases, we often find drivers exceeded their hours to meet delivery deadlines at distribution centers near Angola or Fremont.
49 CFR Part 396: Inspection, Repair, and Maintenance
Under § 396.3, carriers must systematically inspect, repair, and maintain their vehicles. Section 396.11 requires drivers to complete post-trip inspections and report defects. Section 396.13 mandates pre-trip inspections before driving.
Brake violations under Part 396 cause approximately 29% of truck crashes. When a truck’s brakes are out of adjustment or worn thin from hauling heavy loads across Indiana’s highways, the driver simply cannot stop in time to avoid a collision.
Types of 18-Wheeler Accidents We Handle in Steuben County
Every trucking accident is unique, but certain patterns emerge on Steuben County’s specific highway network. Winter weather conditions on I-80, the heavy manufacturing freight traveling I-69 toward Indianapolis, and the agricultural traffic on rural routes all create distinct accident risks.
Jackknife Accidents
A jackknife occurs when the trailer swings out perpendicular to the cab, folding like a pocket knife. On icy stretches of I-80 near the Michigan border, or during sudden braking on the curves near Pleasant Lake, a trailer can swing across multiple lanes, sweeping away everything in its path.
These accidents often result from:
- Sudden braking on wet or icy roads (violating § 392.6’s requirement to reduce speed for conditions)
- Empty or lightly loaded trailers that lack weight to maintain traction
- Brake failures from poor maintenance (Part 396 violations)
- Driver inexperience with emergency maneuvers
The injuries are catastrophic because the swinging trailer strikes vehicles multiple times. We’ve seen cases where a jackknifed truck on I-69 blocked the entire roadway, causing multi-vehicle pileups with traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord damage.
Rollover Accidents
Steuben County’s rural highways include curves and gradients that become treacherous when drivers exceed safe speeds. A rollover occurs when centrifugal force overcomes the truck’s stability, sending 80,000 pounds of metal onto its side or roof.
Common causes include:
- Taking ramps or curves too fast (violating § 392.6)
- Improperly secured cargo that shifts the center of gravity (Part 393 violations)
- Liquid cargo “slosh” in tankers
- Overcorrection after tire blowouts
When a truck rolls on Highway 20 or County Road 400, the driver often loses control completely, crushing smaller vehicles beneath the trailer or spilling cargo across the roadway. These accidents frequently cause amputations and severe crushing injuries.
Underride Collisions
Perhaps the most horrific type of trucking accident occurs when a passenger vehicle slides underneath the trailer. The trailer’s height often shears off the roof of the car at windshield level. Rear underride guards are required under 49 CFR § 393.86 for trailers manufactured after January 26, 1998, but these guards sometimes fail in collisions, or are missing entirely on older equipment.
Side underride accidents are particularly deadly because there is no federal requirement for side guards. When a truck makes a wide turn on Angola’s Main Street or changes lanes on I-69, a small car can easily slide beneath the trailer’s side. These accidents almost always result in decapitation or catastrophic head injuries.
Rear-End Collisions
Due to their massive weight, trucks require 20-40% more stopping distance than passenger vehicles. When a truck driver follows too closely under § 392.11 or drives while fatigued in violation of Part 395, they cannot stop in time to avoid rear-ending traffic slowed by construction on I-69 or congestion near the Indiana Toll Road.
The impact force of an 80,000-pound vehicle striking a 4,000-pound sedan causes devastating whiplash, brain injuries from violent head movement, and spinal cord damage from compression forces.
Wide Turn Accidents (“Squeeze Play”)
Trucks require significant space to complete right turns. The driver must swing left before turning right, creating a gap that tempts other drivers to squeeze past. When the truck completes its turn, it crushes the vehicle in the blind spot.
These accidents frequently occur at intersections in Angola, Fremont, or at the various shopping centers along I-69. Drivers who fail to check their mirrors properly under § 393.80 or signal their intentions cause these crushing injuries.
Blind Spot Accidents
18-wheelers have massive blind spots—called “No-Zones”—on all four sides. The right-side blind spot is particularly dangerous because it spans the length of the trailer. When drivers fail to check mirrors before changing lanes on I-80 or merging onto I-69 from Steuben County’s on-ramps, they sideswipe vehicles or force them off the road.
FMCSA requires under § 393.80 that trucks have mirrors providing a clear view to the rear on both sides, but improper adjustment or driver inattention still causes these crashes.
Tire Blowout Accidents
Steuben County’s temperature extremes—hot summers and freezing winters—stress truck tires. Underinflated tires overheat and explode; worn tires lose tread and fail catastrophically. When a steer tire (front tire) blows, the driver loses immediate control, often causing the truck to veer into oncoming traffic on two-lane highways like SR 427.
FMCSA requires under § 393.75 that tires be properly inspected and maintained, yet we see blowouts caused by carriers deferring maintenance to save costs.
Brake Failure Accidents
Brake problems factor into approximately 29% of large truck crashes. When a truck descends the gradual grades on I-80 with overheated brakes—or when air brake systems leak from poor maintenance under Part 396—the driver cannot stop.
“Runaway truck” situations develop when drivers ride their brakes down long grades instead of using proper techniques. Without functioning brakes, an 18-wheeler becomes an unstoppable missile.
Cargo Spill and Shift Accidents
Improperly secured cargo falls from trucks or shifts during transport, causing the driver to lose control. When loads spill on I-69 near Angola, they create secondary accidents as other drivers swerve to avoid debris. Hazmat spills introduce additional dangers of chemical burns or toxic exposure.
Part 393 requires specific securement for different cargo types—logs, metal coils, machinery—but rushed loading at Indiana distribution centers sometimes results in inadequate tiedowns that fail under stress.
Head-On Collisions
When fatigued drivers under Part 395 violations drift across centerlines on rural Steuben County highways, or when they overcorrect and swing into oncoming traffic on SR 1, the closing speed of two vehicles results in almost certain fatalities.
Who Can Be Held Liable for Your Steuben County Trucking Accident
Unlike car accidents where typically only one driver is at fault, 18-wheeler crashes involve multiple potentially liable parties. Each defendant brings additional insurance coverage, increasing your potential recovery.
The Truck Driver
The driver who caused your accident may be personally liable for:
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Distracted driving (violating § 392.82)
- Driving while fatigued beyond Part 395 limits
- Operating under the influence (violating §§ 392.4-392.5)
- Failing to conduct pre-trip inspections (§ 396.13)
We subpoena the driver’s personal cell phone records, driving history, and employment records to build your case.
The Trucking Company (Motor Carrier)
Under the doctrine of respondeat superior, employers are vicariously liable for their employees’ negligent acts within the scope of employment. Additionally, trucking companies face direct liability for:
- Negligent Hiring: Failing to verify the driver’s qualifications or background under Part 391
- Negligent Training: Inadequate safety instruction on cargo securement or hours of service
- Negligent Supervision: Failing to monitor ELD data for HOS violations
- Negligent Maintenance: Deferring brake repairs or tire replacements under Part 396
- Negligent Scheduling: Pressuring drivers to violate Part 395 to meet delivery deadlines
Trucking companies carry substantial insurance—typically $750,000 to $5 million or more—making them primary targets for recovery.
The Cargo Owner/Shipper
The company that owned the freight being transported may share liability if they:
- Required overweight loading that exceeded vehicle capacity
- Failed to disclose hazardous cargo properties
- Provided improper loading instructions
- Pressured the carrier to expedite delivery unsafely
The Loading Company
Third-party warehouses or loading docks that physically placed cargo on the truck may be liable for:
- Improper cargo securement violating Part 393
- Unbalanced load distribution causing rollovers
- Using inadequate tiedowns or securing devices
The Truck or Parts Manufacturer
When brake systems fail due to design defects, or when tires explode due to manufacturing flaws, the component manufacturer may be liable under product liability laws. We investigate recall notices and similar failure patterns to prove defect claims.
The Maintenance Company
Third-party mechanics who serviced the truck may be liable for negligent repairs if they:
- Returned the vehicle with known safety defects
- Improperly adjusted brake systems
- Used substandard replacement parts
The Freight Broker
Brokers who arranged the shipment may be liable for negligent selection if they hired a carrier with a poor safety record or failed to verify insurance and operating authority. This is increasingly common as logistics companies cut corners to find the cheapest carrier.
The Truck Owner (If Different from Carrier)
In owner-operator arrangements, the individual who owns the tractor may be liable for negligent entrustment if they allowed an unqualified driver to operate their vehicle.
Government Entities
While sovereign immunity limits these claims, state or local government may be liable if:
- Dangerous road design contributed to the accident
- Inadequate signage failed to warn of hazards
- Poor maintenance created dangerous conditions
Indiana’s statute of limitations for claims against government entities is complex, requiring immediate notice.
Catastrophic Injuries and Their Lifetime Costs
18-wheeler accidents don’t cause minor injuries. The 20-to-1 weight differential between a truck and passenger car means victims suffer catastrophic, life-altering harm.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
When your head strikes the steering wheel, dashboard, or side window—or when the violent forces of impact cause your brain to strike the inside of your skull—you may suffer TBI. Symptoms include:
- Loss of consciousness or coma
- Memory loss and confusion
- Difficulty concentrating
- Mood changes, depression, and anxiety
- Speech difficulties
- Permanent cognitive impairment
Our firm has recovered settlements ranging from $1.5 million to $9.8 million for TBI victims. These funds cover lifetime care, lost earning capacity, and the profound loss of quality of life.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Damage to the spinal cord can result in paraplegia (loss of function below the waist) or quadriplegia (loss of function in all four limbs). Higher injuries affect more bodily functions, potentially requiring ventilators for breathing.
Lifetime care costs for spinal cord injuries range from $4.7 million to $25.8 million, depending on severity and age at injury.
Amputations
When limbs are crushed beyond repair or when severe infections develop after crash wounds, surgical amputation becomes necessary. Victims require:
- Multiple initial surgeries
- Prosthetic limbs ($5,000-$50,000+ each)
- Replacement prosthetics throughout life
- Extensive physical and occupational therapy
- Home modifications for accessibility
We’ve secured amputation settlements ranging from $1.9 million to $8.6 million.
Severe Burns
Fuel tank ruptures, hazmat spills, or electrical fires from damaged batteries can cause third and fourth-degree burns requiring skin grafts, reconstructive surgery, and lifelong scar management.
Wrongful Death
When trucking accidents kill, surviving family members in Steuben County may pursue wrongful death claims under Indiana law. Damages include:
- Lost future income and benefits
- Loss of consortium and parental guidance
- Mental anguish
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical costs before death
Our wrongful death recoveries range from $1.9 million to $9.5 million.
The 48-Hour Evidence Preservation Protocol
Evidence in trucking cases disappears fast. Critical data can be overwritten or destroyed within days of your accident.
Black box/ECM data records speed, braking, throttle position, and fault codes. This data can be overwritten within 30 days or with the next ignition cycle.
ELD data proving hours of service violations must be retained for only 6 months under FMCSA regulations, but trucking companies sometimes “lose” this data immediately after crashes.
Dashcam footage often records over previous footage within 7-14 days if not preserved.
Witness memories fade within weeks.
When you call Attorney911, we immediately send spoliation letters to every potentially liable party demanding preservation of:
- All ECM and ELD data
- Driver Qualification Files
- Maintenance and inspection records
- Cell phone records
- GPS tracking data
- Dispatch communications
- The physical truck and trailer
Failure to preserve evidence after receiving our letter can result in court sanctions, adverse jury instructions, or default judgment against the trucking company.
Indiana Law: What Steuben County Victims Need to Know
Statute of Limitations
In Indiana, you have two years from the date of your trucking accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. For wrongful death claims, the two-year clock starts running from the date of death. If you miss this deadline, you lose your right to compensation forever—regardless of how severe your injuries or how clear the truck driver’s fault.
Modified Comparative Negligence
Indiana follows a “modified comparative fault” rule with a 51% bar. This means:
- If you are 50% or less at fault, you can recover damages reduced by your fault percentage
- If you are 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing
Trucking companies and their insurers will try to blame you for the accident. They’ll claim you were speeding, distracted, or failed to yield. Our job is to gather objective evidence—black box data, ELD records, and surveillance footage—to prove exactly what happened and protect your right to recover.
Damage Caps
Indiana caps punitive damages (intended to punish gross negligence) at the greater of three times compensatory damages or $50,000. However, there is no cap on compensatory damages for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering in trucking accident cases. Your full economic and non-economic damages are recoverable.

Frequently Asked Questions: 18-Wheeler Accidents in Steuben County
What should I do immediately after a trucking accident in Steuben County?
First, call 911 and seek medical attention immediately—even if you feel unhurt. Adrenaline masks pain, and internal injuries may not show symptoms for hours. If possible, photograph the truck’s DOT number (usually on the door), license plates, damage to all vehicles, and the accident scene. Get witness contact information. Do not speak to the trucking company’s insurance adjuster without an attorney. Then call 1-888-ATTY-911.
How long do I have to file a lawsuit in Indiana?
Two years from the date of the accident. However, you should never wait. Evidence begins disappearing immediately—black box data can be overwritten in 30 days, and witness memories fade within weeks. Contact us immediately to preserve critical evidence.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Under Indiana’s modified comparative negligence laws, you can recover damages as long as you were not more than 50% at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault and suffered $100,000 in damages, you could recover $80,000. We investigate thoroughly to minimize any fault attributed to you.
Can I sue the trucking company if the driver was an independent contractor?
Often yes. Even with owner-operators, the contracting company may be liable for negligent selection or supervision. Additionally, federal regulations establish when a company exercises enough control over a driver to be considered the employer. We analyze all relationships to find every available source of recovery.
What is a truck’s “black box” and why does it matter?
Commercial trucks contain Electronic Control Modules (ECM) and Event Data Recorders (EDR) that capture speed, braking, throttle position, and fault codes in the seconds before a crash. This objective data often contradicts driver claims of “I wasn’t speeding” or “I braked immediately.” We download this data within days of being retained to prevent destruction.
How much is my Steuben County trucking accident case worth?
Every case is unique. Value depends on injury severity, medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and available insurance. Trucking companies carry higher insurance than individual drivers—minimum $750,000, often $1-5 million. We’ve recovered settlements ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions for similar cases. Call for a free evaluation.
Will my case go to trial?
Most cases settle, but we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. Insurance companies know which firms are willing to go to court—and they offer better settlements to those firms. Ralph Manginello has the federal court experience and trial background to take your case all the way if necessary.
What if the trucking company denies liability?
We gather evidence. ELD data proves hours of service violations. Maintenance records show deferred repairs. The Driver Qualification File reveals hiring negligence. Black box data establishes speed and braking. We build cases on facts, not just claims.
Can I afford an attorney?
Yes. We work on contingency. You pay nothing unless we win. We advance all costs. There is no financial risk to you for hiring our firm. Call 888-ATTY-911 today.
What if my loved one was killed in a trucking accident?
We are deeply sorry for your loss. Indiana law allows surviving spouses, children, and parents to file wrongful death claims. These cases have the same two-year statute of limitations, but evidence preservation is just as urgent. We handle these cases with compassion while aggressively pursuing justice for your family.
How long will my case take?
Simple cases with clear liability may settle in 6-12 months. Complex cases involving catastrophic injuries, multiple defendants, or disputed liability may take 18-36 months. We work efficiently to resolve your case as quickly as possible without sacrificing value.
What types of damages can I recover?
Economic damages include medical bills (past and future), lost wages, lost earning capacity, and property damage. Non-economic damages cover pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, and disfigurement. In cases of gross negligence, punitive damages may be available to punish the trucking company.
Do you handle cases involving hazardous materials?
Yes. Trucks carrying hazardous materials must carry $5 million in insurance under federal law. These cases require specialized knowledge of 49 CFR Part 397 (Hazardous Materials) and often involve additional liable parties including the shipper and loading facility.
What if the truck driver was from another state?
The FMCSA regulations apply to all commercial drivers operating in interstate commerce, regardless of where they’re from. We can pursue claims against out-of-state drivers and companies, and Ralph Manginello’s federal court admission allows us to handle cases nationwide.
Can undocumented immigrants file trucking accident claims?
Yes. Immigration status does not affect your right to compensation after an accident. You have the same rights as any other victim. We represent all members of our community regardless of immigration status.
What if the accident happened on I-80 or I-69?
These are major trucking corridors with heavy freight traffic. We understand the specific dangers of these interstates—including winter weather conditions, congestion near Angola, and the mix of local and interstate traffic. We’ve handled numerous cases on these highways.
