Motorcycle Deaths in Arkansas

Two riders on a motorcycle were killed in a three vehicle crash shortly after noon Sunday, May 17, 2009 on Highway 63 in Fulton County, Arkansas, about 10.5 miles south of Mammoth Spring, according to Arkansas State Police Cpl. Kenneth Foley, as reported by the Batesville Guard & Record.

With today’s economy and gas prices, more and more motorcycles are on the road.
Motorcycle deaths in Arkansas increased 300 percent from 1997 to 2007. According to government statistics, there were 19 deadly motorcycle accidents in Arkansas in 1997 and the number increased to 76 in 2007. In fact, one in every nine car fatalities involves motorcycle riders.

As might be expected, these riders have little or no protection. At Gregg, Farris & Bumpers, we have been successful representing personal injury motorcycle victims. If you or a family member is injured in a motorcycle accident, call Gregg, Farris & Bumpers.
