Siloam Springs, Arkansas Car Accident Attorney

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has reported that motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death in the United States for individuals between the ages of 8 and 34. Regrettably, a fatal car accident takes place every 12 to 15 minutes in America. One thing that even experienced drivers overlook is the fact that anyone can be a victim of a car accident and they are not always caused by the negligence of other drivers. Many accidents are the result of roadway hazards. If you happen to be one of the unfortunate Siloam Springs citizens who is injured in an accident, our Siloam Springs car accident attorney is ready to help you.

Accidents that are not fatal can still result in very serious injury

Out of the millions of individuals who are involved in a car accident in our country, almost half of them suffer a permanent disability of some kind. Those disabling injuries lead to serious impairment of normal function, including paralysis and neurological deficits. In 2014, Arkansas Traffic Crash Statistics reported 60,947 car accidents which injured 27,502 people. Of those, 47 were fatalities.

Siloam Springs Roadways and Traffic

Siloam Springs is located in Benton County, Arkansas and shares a border on the Arkansas-Oklahoma state line with West Siloam Springs, Oklahoma. US Highway 412 is the primary route for east-west traffic, as it connects Tulsa to the west through the Cherokee Turnpike and to Bentonville, Fayetteville, and Springdale to the east. US Highway 59, on the other hand, runs south from West Siloam Springs, while Arkansas 59 runs north and south to Van Buren and Fort Smith, Arkansas. If you are from Siloam Springs, you know that major traffic routes within the city limits include Cheri Whitlock Drive, Lincoln Street, Main Street, Mount Olive Street, and University Street.

When do you need a Siloam Springs car accident attorney?

For most people, the trauma of the personal injuries you suffered is likely something you want to move beyond as soon as you possibly can. Your injuries and property damage create a stressful disruption to your life that most people want to resolve quickly. The length of time it may take to resolve your car accident claims will depend on many different factors.

Although your Siloam Springs car accident attorney can never guarantee a successful resolution, nor can they predict how long it will take, being familiar with the factors that affect resolution, can make it easier to get through.

Causes of car accidents in Siloam Springs

Unfortunately, the worst threat you face on the roadway is other drivers. Their negligence accounts for more accidents and more deaths than anything else. The problem is, there are so many different ways that others can drive negligently, and all of those ways are extremely dangerous. Just a few common examples of driver negligence that leads to auto accidents include driving while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs, driving while drowsy or fatigued, speeding, and distracted driving, including texting and eating.

Distracted driving accidents in Siloam Springs

Distracted driving is becoming a major concern for highway safety. As the use of cell phones has increased, so has the number of auto accidents involving distracted drivers. In 2013, more than 3,000 people were killed as a result of distracted drivers. Although the campaign to stop texting and driving is in full swing, cell phone use is not the only form of distracted driving.

All actions that serve to divert a driver’s attention from the principal task of driving is considered a distraction and will ultimately endanger the driver, passengers, and others on the roadway. Distractions also include everyday tasks that many of us engage in all the time, such as eating and drinking, talking to passengers, grooming, using a GPS and adjusting the radio or other electronics.
