Some Statistics on 18-Wheeler Accidents in Arkansas
Some of the most difficult vehicle crash injury cases for a Fayetteville accident lawyer and attorneys throughout the nation involve collisions with 18-wheelers. Encounters with these massive vehicles typically result in serious injury and fatalities, and Arkansas accident law firms face many complications in their cases because 18-wheelers are typically commercial vehicles.
Here are some statistics that demonstrate just how often trucking accidents occur:
- Nationwide, 2.3 deaths and 60.5 accident injuries are caused by 18-wheelers for every 100 million miles driven—and at least one fatality is the result of approximately 98 percent of all 18-wheeler truck accidents.
- Each year, about 130,000 individuals are injured in truck collisions on U.S. roads.
- Arkansas has one of the highest fatality rates in the United States. A major contributing factor is the state road system, with 85 percent comprised of rural, two-lane roads. The two-lane roads often have narrow or no shoulders, which contribute to run-off-road crashes.
- From 2002 to 2005, 404 commercial vehicles were involved in fatal crashes in Arkansas, with 486 total fatalities in those accidents.
