Van Buren County 18-Wheeler Accident Attorneys: Fighting for Arkansas Trucking Victims

When 80,000 Pounds Changes Your Life Forever

The impact was catastrophic. One moment you’re driving through the Ozark foothills on Interstate 40, and the next, an 80,000-pound commercial truck has jackknifed across your lane. In Van Buren County, where I-40 carries thousands of big rigs daily through our mountain corridors, these aren’t just statistics—they’re devastating realities that destroy families.

We’ve seen it happen on the curves near Clinton. We’ve seen it on the straights of US-65. When a trucking accident happens in Van Buren County, you need more than just a lawyer—you need a team that understands federal trucking regulations, Arkansas state law, and the specific dangers of our Ozark highways.

For over 25 years, Ralph Manginello has fought for Arkansas families devastated by commercial truck crashes. Our firm includes Lupe Peña, a former insurance defense attorney who spent years learning how trucking companies minimize claims—now he uses that insider knowledge to fight for you. We know the trucking corridors of Van Buren County. We know how FMCSA violations cause crashes here. And we know how to make trucking companies pay.

If you’ve been hurt in an 18-wheeler accident anywhere in Van Buren County, call 1-888-ATTY-911 immediately. The clock started ticking the moment that truck hit you.

Why Van Buren County Trucking Accidents Are Different

Van Buren County isn’t flat prairie land. We’re talking about mountain grades, winding Ozark roads, and Interstate 40 cutting through challenging terrain. When a truck driver unfamiliar with our topography hits those curves too fast—or when a fatigued driver pushes past their hours-of-service limits on the long haul through Arkansas—the results are often deadly.

The physics are brutal. Your SUV weighs maybe 4,000 pounds. That loaded 18-wheeler? Up to 80,000 pounds. That’s not a collision—it’s annihilation. The force of impact in a Van Buren County trucking accident can cause traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, amputations, and wrongful death.

But here’s what makes these cases legally complex: multiple parties may be liable, federal regulations control everything from driver qualifications to brake maintenance, and evidence disappears fast. Black box data can be overwritten in 30 days. Driver logs can be falsified. Maintenance records can “get lost.”

That’s why, since 1998, Attorney911 has built a practice specifically equipped to handle these high-stakes cases. Ralph Manginello isn’t just any injury lawyer—he’s admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, giving him federal jurisdiction to handle interstate trucking cases. Our team has gone toe-to-toe with Fortune 500 corporations like BP in the Texas City refinery explosion litigation. We’ve recovered multi-million dollar settlements for traumatic brain injury victims, amputation survivors, and families who lost loved ones.

And unlike the big billboard firms that treat you like a case number, we treat you like family. As our client Chad Harris said, “You are NOT just some client… You are FAMILY to them.”

The FMCSA Regulations That Keep Van Buren County Roads Safe

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) maintains strict rules governing every 18-wheeler on American highways. When truckers or their employers violate these regulations—and they often do—the results show up in our Van Buren County emergency rooms.

49 CFR Part 390: General Applicability

These regulations apply to every commercial motor vehicle operating in interstate commerce. In Van Buren County, any truck crossing state lines on I-40 must comply. The rules cover vehicles with GVWR over 10,001 pounds—basically every big rig you see on Highway 65 or Interstate 40.

49 CFR Part 391: Driver Qualification Standards

This is where we often find negligence. Trucking companies must verify their drivers are qualified before putting them behind the wheel. Requirements include:

  • Minimum age of 21 for interstate commerce
  • Valid Commercial Driver’s License (CDL)
  • Medical examiner’s certificate (renewed every 2 years maximum)
  • Clean driving record check
  • Drug and alcohol testing

We subpoena Driver Qualification Files in every Van Buren County case. When a trucking company fails to properly screen a driver with previous violations—or hires someone with a suspended CDL—that’s negligent hiring, and the company is liable.

49 CFR Part 392: Driving Rules

These are the operational safety rules. Critical violations we see in Van Buren County crashes include:

§ 392.3 – Fatigue: “No driver shall operate a commercial motor vehicle while ability or alertness is so impaired through fatigue… as to make it unsafe.” When a trucker pushes through the night on I-40 without adequate rest, violating hours-of-service rules, they’re breaking federal law.

§ 392.11 – Following Too Closely: Trucks need 525 feet to stop from highway speed—nearly two football fields. Tailgating is illegal and deadly.

§ 392.82 – Mobile Phone Use: Hand-held phone use while driving is strictly prohibited. Yet we see distracted driving causing rear-end collisions at Van Buren County interchanges constantly.

49 CFR Part 393: Vehicle Safety & Cargo Securement

Brake Systems (§ 393.40-55): Brakes must be properly maintained and adjusted. Nearly one-third of truck crashes involve brake problems.

Cargo Securement (§ 393.100-136): Cargo must be secured to withstand 0.8g deceleration forward, 0.5g rearward, and 0.5g lateral forces. When improperly secured loads shift on those Ozark curves, trucks rollover.

Lighting: Required lights include headlamps, tail lamps, clearance lights, and reflectors. Inadequate lighting causes underride crashes when passenger vehicles can’t see the trailer in low visibility.

49 CFR Part 395: Hours of Service (HOS)

This is the most commonly violated regulation—and the most deadly.

The Rules:

  • 11-Hour Drive Limit: Maximum 11 hours driving after 10 consecutive hours off duty
  • 14-Hour Duty Window: 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 Limit: No driving after 60 hours in 7 days or 70 hours in 8 days
  • 10-Hour Off-Duty: Minimum 10 consecutive hours off before driving again

Since December 18, 2017, most trucks must use Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) that automatically record this data. This ELD data is objective evidence of fatigue violations—and we demand it immediately in every Van Buren County case.

49 CFR Part 396: Inspection & Maintenance

Trucking companies must systematically inspect, repair, and maintain their vehicles. Requirements include:

  • Pre-trip inspections: Drivers must verify the vehicle is safe before driving
  • Post-trip reports: Written reports on vehicle condition required after each duty day
  • Annual inspections: Comprehensive inspection every 12 months
  • Maintenance records: Must be retained for 1 year

When trucking companies defer maintenance to save money—skipping brake adjustments, ignoring tire wear, or failing to inspect steering mechanisms—they create deadly hazards on Van Buren County highways.

Types of 18-Wheeler Accidents We Handle in Van Buren County

Not all truck accidents are the same. The Ozark terrain of Van Buren County creates specific risks that differ from flatland trucking corridors. Here are the accident types we see:

Jackknife Accidents

A jackknife occurs when the trailer swings perpendicular to the cab, often blocking multiple lanes. On I-40’s curves or during winter ice storms on Highway 65, these are particularly dangerous. Causes include:

  • Sudden braking on wet or icy roads
  • Improper brake maintenance (49 CFR § 393 violations)
  • Empty trailers that lack weight for traction
  • Speeding for conditions (49 CFR § 392.6)

These accidents often result in multi-vehicle pileups when the trailer sweeps across the interstate.

Rollover Accidents

Given Van Buren County’s topography, rollover accidents are frequent and deadly. Taking a curve too fast on Highway 16 or I-40 with a top-heavy load causes the truck to tip. Cargo shift—when liquid loads slosh or solid loads move—changes the center of gravity violently.

FMCSA Violations Common in Rollovers:

  • Cargo securement failures (49 CFR § 393.100-136)
  • Speeding (49 CFR § 392.6)
  • Fatigued driving (49 CFR § 392.3)

These crashes cause crushing injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and often wrongful death when smaller vehicles are caught beneath the trailer.

Underride Collisions

Among the most fatal accident types. When a passenger vehicle strikes the rear or side of a trailer and slides underneath, the roof is often sheared off. While rear underride guards are required for trailers manufactured after January 26, 1998 (49 CFR § 393.86), there is no federal requirement for side underride guards.

In Van Buren County’s low-visibility conditions—fog in the Arkansas River Valley, heavy rain, or dusk on the interstate—underride crashes cause decapitation and catastrophic head trauma.

Rear-End Collisions

An 80,000-pound truck takes 40% longer to stop than a car. When truckers follow too closely (violating 49 CFR § 392.11), drive distracted, or suffer brake failure (29% of truck crashes involve brake problems), they slam into smaller vehicles with devastating force.

Common injuries include whiplash, spinal cord damage, and traumatic brain injury when occupants’ heads strike the steering wheel or dashboard.

Wide Turn Accidents (“Squeeze Play”)

18-wheelers swing wide left before turning right—the trailer tracks inside the cab’s path. At Van Buren County intersections, when trucks make wide turns without proper signaling or mirror checks, they crush vehicles in the adjacent lane.

These accidents cause severe crushing injuries and amputations.

Blind Spot Accidents (“No-Zone” Crashes)

Trucks have massive blind spots:

  • Front: 20 feet ahead
  • Rear: 30 feet behind
  • Left side: one lane
  • Right side: two lanes (largest and most dangerous)

When truckers fail to check mirrors before changing lanes or turning, they sideswipe passenger vehicles—often pushing them off the road or into other lanes on I-40.

Tire Blowouts

An 18-wheeler has 18 tires. When maintenance is deferred—underinflation, worn tread, or heat buildup from long hauls—tires explode. The “road gator” (tire debris) creates hazards for following vehicles, and blowouts often cause rollover or jackknife accidents when the driver loses control.

Brake Failure Accidents

Despite federal requirements for systematic brake maintenance, trucking companies often defer repairs. Worn brake pads, improper adjustment, or air brake system failures prevent trucks from stopping—leading to high-speed collisions at Van Buren County interchanges.

Cargo Spill/Shift Accidents

Improperly secured cargo—whether it’s Walmart merchandise, construction materials, or hazardous chemicals—creates deadly hazards. When loads shift on curves or spill onto Arkansas highways, they cause secondary accidents and expose motorists to dangerous substances.

Head-On Collisions

When fatigued drivers cross centerlines on two-lane highways like Highway 9 or Highway 95, or when impaired drivers lose control, head-on collisions with trucks are almost always fatal for the occupants of passenger vehicles.

Every Party Who Might Owe You Money

Most law firms only sue the truck driver. That’s a mistake. In 18-wheeler cases, multiple parties carry insurance, and we pursue them all to maximize your recovery.

The Truck Driver

Direct liability for:

  • Speeding or reckless driving
  • Distracted driving (cell phone use violates 49 CFR § 392.82)
  • Fatigued driving (violating 49 CFR Part 395)
  • Impaired driving (drugs, alcohol—BAC limit is .04 for commercial drivers per 49 CFR § 392.5)
  • Failure to conduct pre-trip inspections (49 CFR § 396.13)

The Trucking Company (Motor Carrier)

Under respondeat superior (let the master answer), employers are liable for employees’ negligent acts within the scope of employment. Plus, trucking companies face direct liability for:

  • Negligent Hiring: Failing to check the driver’s background, CDL status, or safety record
  • Negligent Training: Inadequate safety training on mountain driving or hours-of-service compliance
  • Negligent Supervision: Failing to monitor ELD data for HOS violations
  • Negligent Maintenance: Skipping required inspections or deferring repairs
  • Negligent Scheduling: Pressuring drivers to exceed hours-of-service limits to meet delivery deadlines

Cargo Owner/Shipper

Companies loading freight onto trucks may be liable for:

  • Overweight loads that exceed tire or brake capacity
  • Improper loading instructions
  • Hazmat failures (requiring $5 million insurance minimums)

Cargo Loading Company

Third-party loaders are responsible for:

  • Inadequate tiedowns (violating 49 CFR § 393.102)
  • Unbalanced load distribution
  • Failure to use proper blocking, bracing, or friction mats

Truck/Trailer Manufacturer

Defective designs or manufacturing errors in:

  • Brake systems
  • Stability control systems
  • Fuel tank placement (increasing fire risk)
  • Tire defects

Parts Manufacturer

Defective brakes, tires, steering components, or lighting systems can create product liability claims against component manufacturers.

Maintenance Company

Third-party mechanics who performed negligent repairs or failed to identify critical safety issues can be liable.

Freight Broker

Brokers who negligently select carriers with poor safety records or fail to verify insurance and authority may share liability.

Truck Owner (If Different from Carrier)

In owner-operator arrangements, the entity owning the equipment may be liable for negligent entrustment or maintenance failures.

Government Entities

Arkansas DOT or local municipalities may be liable for:

  • Dangerous road design on state highways
  • Inadequate signage for curves or grades
  • Failure to maintain roads (potholes, debris)
  • Improper work zone setups

Note: Claims against Arkansas government entities have special notice requirements ( Arkansas Code § 21-9-301 requires written notice within 180 days for claims against municipalities). Don’t delay.

The Evidence That Wins Cases—And Why It Disappears Fast

In Van Buren County trucking accidents, evidence is destroyed or overwritten rapidly. Trucking companies have rapid-response teams that arrive at scenes before the ambulance leaves. They have lawyers working to protect their interests while you’re still in the hospital.

That’s why we send spoliation letters within 24 hours of being retained. This legal notice commands the preservation of:

Electronic Data (Most Critical)

ECM/Black Box Data: Records speed, braking, throttle position, and fault codes. Overwrites in 30 days or less.

ELD Data: Hours of service, location tracking, driver duty status. Required retention: only 6 months under FMCSA rules, but can be destroyed sooner if not preserved.

Dashcam Footage: Forward-facing and cab-facing cameras. Often deleted within 7-14 days.

GPS/Telematics: Real-time tracking of route, speed, and driver behavior.

Cell Phone Records: Prove distracted driving if the driver was texting or calling at the time of impact.

Driver Records

Driver Qualification File: Employment application, background checks, medical certifications, drug test results, training records. Must be maintained for 3 years after termination (49 CFR § 391.51).

Motor Vehicle Records: State driving history showing previous violations.

Previous Employer Inquiries: 3-year driving history investigation required.

Vehicle Records

Maintenance Records: Repairs, inspections, parts replacement. Must be kept for 1 year (49 CFR § 396.3).

Out-of-Service Orders: Documentation of previous safety violations.

Annual Inspection Reports: Comprehensive safety inspections.

Tire Logs: Age, wear, and replacement history.

Company Records

Dispatch Logs: Communications showing pressure to violate hours-of-service rules.
Cargo Manifests: Weight and securement documentation.
Insurance Policies: All applicable coverage layers.

Once we send a spoliation letter, destroying this evidence becomes spoliation—a serious legal violation. Courts can:

  • Instruct the jury to assume destroyed evidence was unfavorable to the trucking company
  • Impose monetary sanctions
  • Enter default judgment in extreme cases
  • Award punitive damages for intentional destruction

If you’ve been in a trucking accident in Van Buren County, call 1-888-ATTY-911 immediately. Every hour you wait, evidence is disappearing.

Catastrophic Injuries: The Real Cost of Van Buren County Trucking Accidents

When 80,000 pounds collides with 4,000 pounds, the injuries aren’t “soft tissue.” They’re catastrophic, permanent, and life-altering.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

The extreme G-forces in trucking accidents cause the brain to impact the inside of the skull. Even “mild” TBIs (concussions) can cause lasting cognitive deficits. Severe TBIs result in:

  • Permanent memory loss
  • Personality changes
  • Inability to work
  • Require 24/7 care

Settlement Range: $1.5 million to $9.8 million+ (based on Attorney911 case data)

Spinal Cord Injury & Paralysis

Damage to the spinal cord causes:

  • Paraplegia: Loss of function below the waist
  • Quadriplegia: Loss of function in all four limbs
  • Incomplete injuries: Partial nerve damage with some function remaining

Lifetime care costs exceed $3.5 million for quadriplegia. These cases require life care planning experts to calculate future medical needs.

Settlement Range: $4.7 million to $25.8 million+

Amputation

Traumatic amputations occur at the scene when crushing forces sever limbs. Surgical amputations become necessary when limbs are too damaged to save. Prosthetics cost $5,000-$50,000+ each and must be replaced regularly.

Settlement Range: $1.9 million to $8.6 million

Severe Burns

Fuel fires from ruptured tanks or hazmat spills cause third and fourth-degree burns requiring:

  • Multiple skin graft surgeries
  • Reconstructive procedures
  • Permanent scarring and disfigurement
  • Chronic pain management

Internal Organ Damage

Liver lacerations, spleen ruptures, kidney damage, and collapsed lungs often require emergency surgery and may necessitate organ removal, affecting long-term health.

Wrongful Death

When trucking accidents kill, Arkansas law allows surviving family members to recover:

  • Lost future income and benefits
  • Loss of consortium (companionship, guidance, care)
  • Mental anguish and emotional suffering
  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Medical expenses incurred before death
  • Punitive damages (available when gross negligence is proven)

Settlement Range: $1.9 million to $9.5 million

Arkansas Law: What Van Buren County Victims Need to Know

Statute of Limitations

In Arkansas, you have three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit (Arkansas Code § 16-56-105). For wrongful death claims, the limit is also three years from the date of death.

This is longer than many states (Texas allows only 2 years), but waiting is still dangerous. Evidence disappears, witnesses become unavailable, and trucking companies build their defenses.

Comparative Negligence: The 50% Bar Rule

Arkansas follows modified comparative negligence with a 50% bar (Arkansas Code § 16-64-122). This means:

  • If you are 49% or less at fault, you can recover, but your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault
  • If you are 50% or more at fault, you recover nothing

Trucking companies and their insurers will try to blame you. That’s why objective evidence—black box data, ELD logs, and accident reconstruction—is critical to proving the truck driver was primarily responsible.

Damage Caps: None for Most Cases

Good news for Van Buren County victims: Arkansas does not cap compensatory damages (economic and non-economic) in personal injury cases arising from trucking accidents.

Punitive damages are also available without statutory caps when the defendant’s conduct was malicious, wanton, willful, or in reckless disregard of the consequences. This applies when trucking companies knowingly put dangerous drivers on the road or intentionally destroy evidence.

Why Choose Attorney911 for Your Van Buren County Trucking Case

25+ Years of Federal Court Experience

Ralph Manginello has been fighting for injury victims since 1998. He’s admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, giving him federal jurisdiction to handle interstate trucking cases. He’s litigated against Fortune 500 corporations like BP in the Texas City refinery explosion case that killed 15 workers and injured 170 more.

Former Insurance Defense Attorney on Your Side

Lupe Peña worked for national insurance defense firms before joining Attorney911. He knows exactly how trucking insurers evaluate claims, train adjusters to minimize payouts, and use software like Colossus to lowball victims. Now he uses that insider knowledge to fight for maximum compensation.

As client Glenda Walker said, “They fought for me to get every dime I deserved.”

Multi-Million Dollar Results

Our track record includes:

  • $5+ million for a traumatic brain injury victim struck by a falling log
  • $3.8+ million for a client who suffered partial leg amputation after a car accident
  • $2+ million for a maritime back injury under the Jones Act
  • $2.5+ million for a commercial truck crash victim
  • $10 million lawsuit currently active against the University of Houston for hazing injuries

We’ve recovered over $50 million total for Texas and Arkansas families.

We Take Cases Other Firms Reject

Donald Wilcox was turned down by another firm before coming to us. As he said: “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.”

Personalized Attention, Not Case Numbers

At big billboard firms, you’re one of hundreds of cases. At Attorney911, you’re family. Chad Harris told us: “You are NOT a pest to them and you are NOT just some client… You are FAMILY to them.”

Ralph Manginello gives clients his personal cell phone number. Our case managers—Leonor, Crystal, and Zulema—keep you updated every step.

Frequently Asked Questions: Van Buren County 18-Wheeler Accidents

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

Call 911, seek medical attention immediately (even if you feel fine—adrenaline masks injuries), photograph everything (vehicles, scene, injuries, truck DOT number), get the driver’s CDL information and insurance details, collect witness contact info, and call Attorney911 before speaking to any insurance company.

How long do I have to file a lawsuit in Arkansas?

Three years from the accident date. But waiting is dangerous—evidence disappears. Contact us within 24-48 hours so we can send preservation letters to protect black box and ELD data.

Can I recover damages if I was partially at fault?

Yes, if you were 49% or less at fault. Under Arkansas’s modified comparative negligence rule, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you’re 50% or more at fault, you recover nothing. We work to prove the truck driver was primarily responsible.

What if the trucking company’s insurance adjuster calls me?

Do not give a recorded statement. Adjusters are trained to minimize your claim. Anything you say can be used against you. Refer them to Attorney911. We handle all communications with insurers.

Who can be held liable besides the truck driver?

The trucking company (employer liability), cargo owners, loading companies, truck manufacturers, parts manufacturers, maintenance companies, freight brokers, and potentially government entities if road design contributed.

What is an ELD and why does it matter?

Electronic Logging Devices automatically record hours of service. They prove whether the driver violated federal fatigue regulations. The data is objective and often contradicts what drivers claim.

How much is my case worth?

It depends on injury severity, medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and available insurance. Trucking companies carry $750,000 to $5 million+ in coverage. We’ve recovered settlements ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions.

Will my case go to trial?

Most settle before trial, but we prepare every case as if it’s going to court. Insurance companies offer better settlements when they know your attorney is trial-ready. Ralph Manginello has 25+ years of courtroom experience.

Do you handle wrongful death cases?

Yes. When trucking accidents kill loved ones in Van Buren County, we pursue wrongful death claims for surviving family members, seeking compensation for lost income, loss of consortium, mental anguish, and funeral expenses.

How much does it cost to hire Attorney911?

Nothing upfront. We work on contingency—you pay nothing unless we win. We advance all costs. The consultation is free.

What if I don’t have health insurance to pay for treatment?

We can connect you with medical providers who treat on a Letter of Protection, meaning they get paid when your case settles. Don’t let lack of insurance prevent you from getting necessary care.

Can undocumented immigrants file claims?

Yes. Immigration status does not affect your right to compensation after a trucking accident. We serve all Van Buren County residents regardless of status.

What if the trucking company is from another state?

We handle interstate cases regularly. Ralph Manginello’s federal court admission allows us to pursue cases against out-of-state carriers. Federal FMCSA regulations apply nationwide.

How is a trucking case different from a car accident case?

Trucking cases involve federal regulations (FMCSA), higher insurance limits, multiple liable parties, and complex evidence (ELD data, ECM black boxes). They require attorneys with specific trucking litigation experience.

What if my injuries seem minor now?

See a doctor anyway. Traumatic brain injuries, internal bleeding, and spinal injuries often have delayed symptoms. Early documentation links your injuries to the accident—critical for your case.

The Arkansas Trucking Corridors Where Accidents Happen

Van Buren County sits at the crossroads of major freight routes. Understanding these highways helps us investigate your case:

Interstate 40: The primary east-west corridor through Arkansas, carrying massive freight volumes from coast to coast. Heavy truck traffic through Van Buren County’s mountainous terrain creates dangerous conditions, especially in winter weather.

US Highway 65: Major north-south route connecting Little Rock to the Ozarks. Narrow lanes and steep grades challenge truck drivers.

State Highways 9, 16, and 95: Rural routes where speeding trucks and passenger vehicles collide at intersections.

Weather Hazards: Arkansas ice storms, heavy Ozark fog, and flash flooding create treacherous conditions that truckers must respect. Failure to adjust speed for conditions violates 49 CFR § 392.6.
