Arkansas Personal Injury Claims: Frequently Asked Questions

Injury victims share many of the same questions. Here are clear answers to the ones we hear most often about Arkansas claims.

Deadlines and Fault

Most Arkansas injury claims must be filed within three years, though medical malpractice (two years) and government claims have shorter or stricter deadlines. Arkansas uses modified comparative fault with a 50% bar, so partial fault reduces — and at 50% eliminates — recovery.

Acting early protects evidence and your rights.

Cost and Value

Most injury lawyers work on contingency, so you typically pay no fee unless you recover. Claim value depends on injury severity, fault, available insurance, and life impact — and Arkansas does not cap compensatory damages.

Beware anyone promising an exact figure before reviewing your case.
