Interstate Crashes in Arkansas
Interstate highways, such as I-440, often see a high volume of vehicles traveling at high speeds, increasing the risk of accidents that result in injuries. Heavy traffic, sudden lane changes, and weather conditions can all contribute to collisions, making interstates one of the most dangerous types of roadways in Arkansas.
The Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) reports that highway crashes frequently result from driver distraction, speeding, and failure to maintain safe following distances. When traffic congestion or unexpected slowdowns occur, rear-end crashes and multi-vehicle collisions are more likely.
For those injured in interstate crashes, the recovery process can be overwhelming. Medical bills, lost wages, and vehicle repairs can add financial strain on top of physical recovery. Seeking legal assistance can help victims understand their rights and explore options for compensation when another driver’s negligence is involved.
