Highway Accidents in Arkansas
Crashes on major interstates such as I-30 can cause significant disruptions and pose a higher risk of severe injury due to higher travel speeds. In Pulaski County, heavily traveled highway segments often see increased accident risk, particularly near major exits where vehicles merge, slow, or change lanes.
According to the Arkansas Department of Transportation, common causes of highway accidents include speeding, driver inattention, and unsafe lane changes. Construction zones, weather conditions, and heavy traffic can further increase the potential for collisions.
Drivers can help reduce the risk of highway crashes by maintaining safe following distances, using turn signals when changing lanes, and staying alert to surrounding traffic. Being especially cautious near exit and entrance ramps can help prevent serious incidents.
For those injured in highway accidents, immediate medical attention is crucial to address both visible injuries and those that may not be immediately apparent. Victims may also have the right to seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other accident-related expenses.
