How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Arkansas?

In Arkansas, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally three years from the date of the accident. Missing this time frame can forfeit your right to pursue compensation, so it’s vital to seek legal advice promptly. Our team at Wells & Wells can guide you through the process and make sure all deadlines are met.

Acting quickly is essential not only to comply with the statute of limitations but also for preserving evidence and eyewitness accounts, which can become less reliable as time passes. By contacting us early, we can begin collecting crucial documentation to bolster your claim, placing you in the strongest position for success

Can I Recover Compensation If Partially At Fault in My Personal Injury Case?

Yes, even if you were partially at fault for your accident, you can still recover compensation. Arkansas operates on a modified comparative negligence rule. This means that as long as your fault is 50% or less, you can recover damages at a rate reduced according to your fault percentage. However, if you are over 50% at fault, you may be barred from receiving compensation.

For example, if you were found to be 30% at fault and damages are $100,000. You would receive $70,000. Our personal injury lawyer in West Memphis is adept at determining fault to help you pursue the maximum amount of compensation you're entitled to.

Car Accident FAQ

Our Jonesboro car accident lawyers are here to answer your accident questions. Don't see an answer to your question? You can always contact the Wells & Wells office to schedule a free and confidential consultation!

  • What if I can't get in contact with the trucking company after my crash?
    If you made sure to collect the trucking company's contact information from the trucker at the time of your accident, but have not been able to get a hold of them, we may be able to help. Our truck accident lawyers are used to dealing with trucking companies and can help get the information you need. Oftentimes trucking companies are located in a different state than the one in which the accident occurred, so having an attorney contact them on your behalf may lead to better results than contacting them yourself.
  • Who is financially responsible in a trucking accident, the driver or the trucking company?

    The answer to this question depends on the situation and can be fairly complicated. Is the driver an employee or an independent contractor? Typically, a company cannot be held financially responsible for the actions of an independent contractor. To learn more about the "respondeat superior" theory and how this may influence your case, contact our truck accident lawyers to schedule a free consultation.

  • Why are trucks more likely to cause injuries in an accident than passenger cars?
    The primary difference between a trucking accident and a passenger car accident is the huge difference in weight. Because of the sheer difference in size, trucks typically cause more destruction in an accident than a typical passenger vehicle does. Trucks also can often be hauling hazardous or flammable material, which makes them more dangerous in an accident.
  • How long do I have to file my auto accident lawsuit in Arkansas?

    According to Arkansas Code Annotated section 16-56-105, motorists have up to 3 years following the date of their accident to file a personal injury lawsuit against the responsible party.

  • Are drivers required to carry car insurance in Arkansas?

    Yes, they are. At a minimum, all motorists are required to carry liability insurance in the amount of $25,000 for bodily injury or death of one person in a single accident, $50,000 for bodily injury or death of more than one person in a single accident, and $25,000 for property damage in a single accident.

  • When am I required to report a car accident in Arkansas?

    Arkansas Code § 27-53-202 requires motorists to report a car crash any time that someone is injured or killed, or the damage to any property appears to be in excess of $1,000. All accidents should be reported to the Arkansas Office of Driver Services. While a police officer will typically make the report for you if one does not fill out the report at the scene you are still responsible to submit proper documentation.

  • What Damages Can be Recovered After a Car Accident?

    Although every case is different, car accident claims commonly pursue compensation for the following damages:

    • Pain and suffering
    • Lost wages
    • Loss of earning capacity
    • Medical expenses
    • Costs of rehabilitation
