The Dangers of Tractor-Trailer Accidents on Arkansas Highways
Highway crashes involving large commercial vehicles, such as tractor-trailers, often result in severe injuries due to the size and weight of these trucks. High-speed corridors like Interstate 30 see a mix of passenger vehicles and commercial trucks, increasing the risk of high-impact collisions.
According to the Arkansas Department of Transportation, tractor-trailer crashes contribute to a significant percentage of the state’s highway accidents each year. Common causes include driver fatigue, improper lane changes, mechanical failures, and sudden slowdowns in traffic. These incidents not only pose a risk to those directly involved but also create dangerous conditions for other drivers on the road.
For individuals injured in truck accidents, the aftermath can be overwhelming, with medical expenses, lost wages, and complex insurance claims adding stress to an already difficult situation. Arkansas follows a fault-based insurance system, meaning that the party responsible for the crash is liable for covering damages. However, determining fault in trucking accidents can be complicated, as multiple parties—including the truck driver, trucking company, and vehicle manufacturers—may share liability.
Understanding one’s legal options after a crash is essential for ensuring a fair recovery process. Seeking professional guidance can help injured victims navigate the claims process and secure the compensation they need.
