Arkansas Auto Accident Statistics
A recent report of Arkansas crash statistics indicates an overall downward trend, according to the following statistics showing the differences between 2007 and 2008:
- Total crashes were down 4.9 percent. The total crashes reported for 2008 were 63,137.
- Fatal crashes decreased 5.5 percent, with 552 reported for 2008.
- There were 7.7 percent fewer fatalities, with 500 reported for 2008.
- There was a four percent reduction in alcohol and drug related fatalities, with 256 reported in 2008.
While the overall reduction in accidents and fatalities is good news, the crash rate in Arkansas still reflects the likelihood that many drivers can expect to experience an auto accident at some point in their driving years. If you are involved in an auto accident, the Arkansas personal injury attorneys at Bequette & Billingsley can help.
We are experienced in both sides of Arkansas personal injury cases
When it comes to identifying fault for an auto accident, Arkansas personal injury law can be complex. With more than two decades of experience helping both plaintiffs and defendants in these cases, our attorneys have a complete perspective on every case. We can help in many ways, including the following:
- Thorough investigation: We begin with the evidence you provide, but this is only the beginning. We conduct our own investigation of the details behind your case, using specialized outside resources when needed to identify—and prove—the true circumstances behind the causes of the accident.
- Negotiation: Most auto accident cases do not go to court. Even when insurance claims prove to be inadequate, we are skilled negotiators. Settlement negotiations with opposing attorneys typically yield fair results for your case and are settled more quickly and cost-effectively than courtroom trials.
- Litigation: For those cases that do go to court, we have the litigation experience to represent both plaintiffs and defendants in these often-difficult cases.
Throughout the process, we recognize the stress our clients experience. We guide you through all phases, keeping you well informed and responding to your questions along the way.
