Driver Negligence
Driver negligence is the most common cause of auto and truck accidents. Examples of the types of driver negligence that can lead to a crash include:
- Distracted driving, including texting and other device use
- Intoxication with alcohol, prescription drugs, or recreational drugs
- Speeding
- Excessive speed for the weather or road conditions
- Running a red light or stop sign
- Failure to yield
- Failure to signal
- Unsafe passing
- Following too closely
Defective Vehicle
If your accident was caused by a defect or if your injuries were made worse by a defect, even if the defect did not cause you accident, you may be able to recover compensation from one or more of the following:
- Auto maker
- Parts maker
- New or used car dealership
- Parts seller
- Rental company
- Repair shop
Defective Roadway
Roadway defects can cause accidents or cause injuries to be worse when there is an accident. In most cases the government entity responsible for the design, construction, and/or maintenance of the defective roadway can be held responsible for your injuries.
Examples of roadway defects include:
- Potholes
- Debris or obstacles that are not removed in a timely fashion
- Missing or defective guardrails
- Improper grading
- Malfunctioning traffic signal
- Malfunctioning street lights
- Shoulder drop-off
- Inadequate lane division
- Missing or obscured warning signs
- Known dangerous intersection that has not been modified
- Lack of breakaway devices on posts and poles
- Missing, obscured, or inaccurate height or weight limit sign
No Seat Belt
Many accident victims are under the false impression that they cannot sue or will not be able to collect for their injuries if they were not wearing a seat belt when the accident occurred. Arkansas is one of many states that recognizes the fact that seat belt non-use does not cause accidents, and holds the at-fault driver responsible for their actions. In Arkansas the fact that you were not wearing a seat belt is not even admissible in court and will not compromise your ability to recover compensation for your injuries.
