Arkansas personal injury law:
For you to collect on a personal injury claim under Arkansas law, those who caused your injury must be found negligent. That is, we must establish that they did not exercise reasonable care to prevent the injury. Because Arkansas has comparative negligence laws, you may be able to collect some damages even if you shared some of the responsibility, as long as the other person or business was more negligent than you. Please contact us for advice on how the law applies in your particular case.
