ASK THE EXPERTS

Our firm works hard to uncover all evidence in order to properly establish fault. We are able to interview witnesses, look for video footage, and inspect the scene of the accident to make sure all relevant evidence is identified and preserved in your case.

Truck accidents in Arkansas have a higher potential for severe injury than passenger car accidents due to the size and force of a truck compared to a car. Also, because companies and individuals are often involved, getting compensation for your injuries can be more complex.

If you were injured in a trucking collision, you need an experienced Little Rock truck accident lawyer. Call 800-529-4004 or fill out a form for a free consultation and learn how NST Law can help you secure fair compensation.

NST Law's Proven Track Record in Truck Accident Cases

When you need a truck wreck lawyer in Arkansas, you deserve a professional who gets results. We’re proud of the truck accident settlements and verdicts we have recovered for our clients, including:

  • $3 Million: Catastrophic Tractor Trailer Wreck With Married Couple: Team NST represented a married couple who were struck head-on by a “big rig” 18-wheeler truck at a high rate of speed on a two-lane road. Our clients had to be transported to the hospital by air ambulance helicopter. One of our clients (wife) suffered two compression fractures in her spine, a fractured shoulder and numerous compound fractures in her right leg. She was treated in the hospital for over two months and spent several months in a rehabilitation hospital. Our other client (husband) suffered numerous fractures as well, including a fractured foot, sternum, and fractured ribs.
  • $2,700,000: Team NST Attorneys Kevin N. Graham and Derek Fairchilds represented a 33-year-old client who was catastrophically injured in a 4-vehicle wreck. She was initially admitted to the hospital for almost three months due to tears to the arteries in her neck, a left arm fracture, multiple left thighbone fractures, a severely fractured and shattered hip fracture, severely displaced fractures to the right leg, fractures to the left leg, and fractures to the fourth and fifth right toes. During her time at the hospital, our client had multiple surgeries and extensive physical therapy. Our client continued to receive orthopedic treatment after discharge and had additional surgeries thereafter.
  • $1.2 Million: The firm represented a sixty-seven-year-old male who was rear-ended on the interstate by an 18-wheeler truck. The client had sustained serious injuries, including a fractured neck, fractured vertebra,e and rib fractures. The testimony of a witness was that the client was traveling at an extremely low rate of speed prior to being struck by the defendant truck driver. The firm utilized an accident reconstructionist and secured the “black box” data from the truck to help prove the fault of the truck driver. The firm filed a lawsuit, and after extensive discovery, including several depositions of experts and lengthy mediations, the firm was able to resolve the case for $1,200,000.00.

As Champions for the Injured, we are even prouder of the relationships we have built with our clients and the trust we have earned. Our relationships shine through in client testimonials:

Who Can Be Liable for a Truck Accident?

Truck accidents are often more complex than passenger car accident cases. There may be many potentially responsible parties involved, including:

  • Truck drivers: Reckless or impaired driving can put other drivers on the road at risk.
  • Trucking companies: Negligent hiring, poor training, lack of oversight, or failure to follow industry regulations can lead to accidents and make the company liable.
  • Truck manufacturers: Defective parts, poor design, or inadequate quality control can result in mechanical failures that cause collisions.
  • Cargo loaders: Improperly stacked or unsecured cargo can shift during transit, making the truck unstable and increasing the risk of an accident.

Our Little Rock commercial truck accident attorneys can help you determine liability and identify responsible parties in your case.

What Laws or Regulations Might Affect My Arkansas Truck Accident Case?

Since the trucking industry is national and semi-trucks typically cross multiple state lines during one day, the minimum regulations usually occur at the federal level. However, laws also exist at the state and local levels to help ensure the utmost safety.

The Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration created the Trucking Portal, which includes links to different agencies regulating the trucking industry, including the FMCSA.

The FMCSA’s regulations include:

  • Routing regulations
  • Fees for registration and insurance on semi-trucks
  • Compliance with noise emission standards
  • Other issues specific to the trucking industry

If you are involved in a truck accident, you’ll need to work with an attorney who understands how Arkansas state and federal trucking regulations affect your case. Our truck accident lawyers in Little Rock have decades of experience dealing with complex cases like yours.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Yes. Arkansas follows the law of comparative negligence, meaning you can file a claim if you are less at fault than the other party. If you are less at fault, you can still recover damages, but it will be reduced based on how much fault you have. You cannot recover damages if you are equally or more at fault.

The time frame for how settlements are paid depends on what we determine as fair compensation and what the other party is willing to offer. Some cases settle quickly, especially if we can settle out of court. However, if the case goes to trial or is particularly complex, it can take longer.

At NST Law, your tractor-trailer accident attorney works on a contingency basis, meaning we receive an agreed-upon percentage of your settlement or verdict. If we don’t win, you don’t pay.

Compensation from a settlement often depends on the facts of the case, including damages the victim suffered. At NST Law, we have obtained truck accident settlements and verdicts of up to $6.3 million.

You’ll discuss your case with one of our attorneys, who will identify liable parties. In most cases, the first step is to pursue compensation through the relevant insurance company. If insurers will not agree to a fair settlement, your lawyer will file a lawsuit to take your case to trial. Many claims settle out of court, but some go to trial.

You may have a lawsuit against the trucking company if the organization or its staff acted negligently, violated industry regulations, or allowed other violations to occur. An Arkansas truck accident attorney from NST Law can help you identify whether a trucking company was responsible for your accident.

Yes, truck drivers are required to demonstrate proficiency in English, especially when it comes to understanding and following safety regulations, road signs, and communicating with law enforcement. This requirement, which became effective with updated regulations in April 2025, helps ensure that drivers can clearly communicate on the road, improving overall safety and reducing the risk of accidents caused by misunderstandings.
