LITTLE ROCK, AR, (November 29, 2024) - Dwight Smith, a 60-year-old resident of Little Rock, sustained injuries in a multi-vehicle crash on Nov. 29. The incident occurred around 4:57 p.m. at the intersection of Asher Avenue and Fair Park Boulevard.
Dwight Smith was injured on Nov. 29 as the result of a multi-vehicle crash in Little Rock. One person died in the wreck.
Smith was driving a 2011 Kia Sorento west on Asher Avenue when his vehicle was struck from behind by a 2010 Nissan driven by a 41-year-old male resident of Little Rock. The impact pushed Smith's vehicle into a 2013 Ford. The Nissan then collided with a 2019 Toyota.
Smith was transported to UAMS for treatment of his injuries. The driver of the Nissan was pronounced dead by hospital staff.
The investigation into the incident is ongoing by the Little Rock Police Department.
CRASH INVESTIGATION
Each year, motor vehicle crashes in this country kill roughly 36,000 people and injure 1.9 million more. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, speeding was the primary cause of fatal crashes in 2018, followed by the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication; failure to stay in the proper lane; failure to yield the right of way; and distracted driving.
“Road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all possible contributing factors considered and examined,” said Candice Bond, an experienced attorney and Managing Partner with Bond Legal.
“An accident reconstruction team is sometimes needed to help piece together what happened. All of these resources are necessary for helping clients receive monetary compensation for damages or a loss following a collision,” said Bond.
PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM
Dwight Smith may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim pending an investigation.
Bond said, “Injured victims involved in a collision often seek a personal injury claim to cover the cost of medical bills, future medical care, loss of income, emotional trauma, and pain and suffering.
"Insurance companies can be notoriously unconcerned with the mounting costs that an injured party may accrue. An attorney can help. We protect the victims of these tragedies daily, forcing the insurance companies to pay for their mistakes,” she added.
