Step-by-Step Guide

What Should You Do After an Accident in Little Rock?

  1. 1

    Call 911 and Report the Accident

    In Arkansas, you are legally required to report accidents involving injury, death, or significant property damage. Call 911 from the scene in Little Rock and request both police and medical assistance.

  2. 2

    Seek Immediate Medical Attention

    Go to a hospital or urgent care — even if you feel fine. Many injuries like whiplash, concussions, and internal bleeding don't show symptoms immediately. Seek treatment at the nearest emergency facility.

  3. 3

    Document Everything at the Scene

    Take photos and videos of all vehicles, injuries, road conditions, traffic signals, and skid marks. Get names, phone numbers, and insurance information from all parties and witnesses.

  4. 4

    Do Not Speak to Insurance Adjusters Without an Attorney

    Insurance companies will contact you quickly — often within 24 hours. Their goal is to get a recorded statement they can use against you and to offer a lowball settlement before you understand your claim's true value.

  5. 5

    Contact a Personal Injury Attorney Immediately

    Arkansas's statute of limitations is 3 years (Ark. Code § 16-56-105). However, critical evidence — surveillance footage, witness memories, vehicle data — degrades rapidly. The sooner you call Bond Legal at (866) 423-7724, the stronger your case.

  6. 6

    Keep All Medical Records and Bills

    Every doctor visit, prescription, therapy session, and medical bill becomes evidence of your damages. Keep a daily journal documenting your pain levels, limitations, and emotional impact.

Arkansas Law

How Does Arkansas Personal Injury Law Work?

Modified Comparative Fault (51% Bar)

Source: Ark. Code § 16-64-122

Arkansas uses modified comparative fault — you can recover damages only if your fault is less than 51%. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.

Statute of Limitations: 3 years

Source: Ark. Code § 16-56-105

In Arkansas, you generally have 3 years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline typically bars you from recovering any compensation. There are limited exceptions for minors, discovery of latent injuries, and government claims — consult an attorney immediately.

Damage Caps

No cap on economic or non-economic damages in most PI cases. Punitive damages are limited and require clear and convincing evidence.

Key Arkansas Laws Affecting Your Case

Modified Comparative Fault (51% Bar)

Ark. Code § 16-64-122

Arkansas follows modified comparative negligence. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, and if you are 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing.

3-Year Statute of Limitations

Ark. Code § 16-56-105

Arkansas has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. Wrongful death claims must also be filed within 3 years (Ark. Code § 16-62-102). Government tort claims require notice within the same period.

Mandatory Auto Insurance

Ark. Code § 27-22-104

Arkansas requires minimum liability coverage of 25/50/25 ($25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident BI, $25,000 PD). UM/UIM coverage must be offered but can be rejected in writing. Arkansas is a tort (at-fault) state.

DWI Law

Ark. Code § 5-65-103

Arkansas's DWI law sets the BAC limit at .08 for adults, .02 for those under 21. Arkansas has an implied consent law — refusal to submit to testing results in 180-day license suspension. DWI convictions create strong evidence of negligence in civil claims.

Dram Shop Liability

Ark. Code § 16-126-104

Arkansas allows dram shop claims against licensed alcohol sellers who furnish alcohol to an obviously intoxicated person or a minor who subsequently causes injury. Arkansas courts have recognized both statutory and common law dram shop liability.

How does Arkansas's comparative fault law affect my Little Rock case?

Arkansas follows modified comparative fault with a 50% bar — if you are 50% or more at fault, you recover nothing. Your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault. This strict threshold makes documenting the other driver's negligence critical.

Which Little Rock roads are the most dangerous?

I-30 through downtown Little Rock, the I-30/I-40 interchange (the 'Big Rock Interchange'), I-430, Cantrell Road, and Colonel Glenn Road are Little Rock's highest-crash corridors. The I-30 corridor between Little Rock and Benton sees heavy congestion and frequent rear-end collisions.

What is the average car insurance cost in Little Rock?

Arkansas drivers pay an average of ~$2,100/year for auto insurance — above the national average. Little Rock's urban congestion, high uninsured motorist rate (~16%), and I-30 corridor crash frequency drive premiums higher. Arkansas requires minimum coverage of 25/50/25.

Should I accept the insurance company's first offer after my Little Rock accident?
