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