Truck accidents are often far more complex than standard car accident cases. They frequently involve multiple insurance policies, federal safety regulations, and corporate defendants with rapid-response investigation teams. Minton Law Firm moves quickly to preserve evidence, identify every liable party, and build the strongest case possible.
Because commercial trucks can weigh up to 80,000 pounds when fully loaded, collisions with passenger vehicles often result in catastrophic injuries or fatalities. Occupants of smaller vehicles typically suffer the most severe injuries due to the significant size and weight difference.
According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), approximately 503,000 police-reported crashes involving large trucks occurred nationwide in 2022, including more than 114,000 injury crashes and 5,200 fatal crashes. Large truck crashes continue to be a major highway safety concern throughout the United States, particularly on busy interstate corridors like those surrounding Little Rock.
Most commercial truck accidents are preventable and occur because of negligence by a driver, trucking company, or another responsible party.
Common causes include:
Many truck accident cases involve violations of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations governing driver qualifications, inspection requirements, vehicle maintenance, cargo securement, and electronic logging devices (ELDs).
Truck accident cases often involve several potentially responsible parties.

If a truck accident results in the loss of a loved one, surviving family members may also have the right to pursue compensation through our Arkansas Wrongful Death Lawyer page.
Arkansas generally allows three years from the date of a truck accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline may prevent you from recovering compensation.
Arkansas also follows a modified comparative fault rule. If you are found to be less than 50% responsible for the accident, you may still recover damages, although your compensation will generally be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Because trucking companies often begin investigating crashes immediately, it is critical to preserve evidence before it is lost. Minton Law Firm can send preservation letters requesting important records, including electronic logging device (ELD) data, driver qualification files, maintenance records, inspection reports, black box (ECM) data, dash camera footage, and cargo documentation before they are destroyed.
Truck accident claims require prompt investigation and extensive evidence collection.

Yes. Depending on the circumstances, the truck driver, trucking company, freight broker, maintenance provider, cargo loading company, or manufacturer may all share liability for your injuries.
