About

Sexton & Sanders Law Firm, based in Fort Smith, Arkansas, carries forward a legacy of personal injury representation dating back to 1955, when founder Sam Sexton, Jr. first opened his practice downtown. Today, under the leadership of Powell Sanders, the firm has established itself as a premier personal injury law firm serving the tri-state area.

Powell Sanders has been securing justice for injured clients since 1997. A native of Arkansas, he brings practical knowledge of trucking operations and highway safety to his work—he holds a commercial driver's license himself and understands the regulations and procedures that trucking companies must follow. His experience negotiating with insurance companies has resulted in millions of dollars in settlements for clients navigating the aftermath of serious injuries. Known for his straightforward approach in the courtroom, Sanders has earned a reputation with juries and has built a team dedicated to prioritizing clients throughout the claims process.

The firm handles a wide range of personal injury matters. Its truck accident practice is substantial, with experience in serious collisions involving commercial vehicles across multiple states—from eighteen-wheeler crashes on interstate highways to hit-and-run incidents involving semi trucks. The firm also represents clients injured in standard car accidents, including rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, multi-vehicle pileups, and rollover incidents.

Sexton & Sanders has significant experience pursuing wrongful death claims on behalf of estates when negligence or fault has caused a fatality. The firm also maintains an active medical malpractice practice in Arkansas and Oklahoma, handling cases involving surgical errors, misdiagnosis, and institutional negligence that have caused permanent harm or death.

In addition, the firm represents clients in product liability matters, leveraging a network of expert witnesses to pursue claims against manufacturers and retailers who sell defective or unsafe items. The firm also handles slip-and-fall and premises liability cases, holding businesses accountable when unsafe conditions cause injury to customers and visitors.

The firm's approach centers on understanding that serious injury disrupts lives. Rather than leaving clients to manage insurance companies alone, Sexton & Sanders takes on that burden, allowing injured people to focus on recovery. A free consultation is the starting point, and the firm emphasizes that the claims process begins with an open conversation. Clients can reach the firm by phone at (479) 782-3434.
