A truck accident on I-40 or Highway 70 can change your life in seconds. In Crittenden County, where highways are packed with commercial vehicles, crashes caused by poor maintenance are sadly common. These wrecks are rarely "accidents"—they’re preventable events caused by negligence.

At Ludwig Law Firm, we represent victims of truck crashes across Arkansas. If faulty brakes, bald tires, or ignored safety inspections caused your injuries, you deserve answers—and compensation.

As always - if you have a legal question you want answered in a future blog, submit it via the form on this page. Now, let's dive in!

Why Crittenden County Is a Truck Crash Hotspot

Crittenden County sits at a crossroads for commercial traffic. West Memphis sees thousands of 18-wheelers daily. This high volume increases the odds of crashes, especially when trucking companies cut corners on safety.

Whether you were injured near Marion, West Memphis, or along I-55, we can help.

How We Investigate a Poor Maintenance Claim

The first hours after a crash are critical. At Ludwig Law Firm, we immediately secure:

• Truck inspection logs

• GPS and brake system data

• Dash cam and traffic camera footage

• Witness statements

• Repair and maintenance records

We work with mechanical experts and accident reconstructionists to show exactly what failed—and why it never should have.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

If poor maintenance caused your crash, Arkansas law allows you to pursue damages for:

• Medical expenses

• Future care and rehabilitation

• Lost wages and loss of earning capacity

• Pain and suffering

• Emotional distress

• Property damage

In wrongful death cases, surviving family members can pursue funeral costs and loss of companionship.
