Learn moreArkansas Injury Law That Affects Your Columbia County Claim
Arkansas follows a modified comparative-fault rule (Ark. Code § 16-64-122). You can still recover compensation if you were partly to blame, with your award reduced by your percentage of fault — but if you are found 50% or more at fault, you recover nothing. Insurers exploit this rule constantly, which is why building strong evidence of the other party's fault is critical.
In most Arkansas injury cases you have three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit under Ark. Code § 16-56-105. Miss that deadline and your claim is almost always barred. The Arkansas Constitution (Article 5, § 32) bars caps on compensatory damages, so a serious, well-documented claim is not artificially limited. A 2025 change in state law (Act 28) does affect how medical expenses are valued, which makes experienced legal guidance even more important.
