Arkansas fault, insurance and deadline rules
How Arkansas auto insurance works
Arkansas isn't one of the 12 no-fault states listed by the Insurance Information Institute, so injury claims run through the at-fault driver's liability insurance.
Fault and recovery
Arkansas uses modified comparative fault. Under Ark. Code 16-64-122, a claimant whose fault is of a lesser degree than the fault of the party or parties from whom recovery is sought can recover damages reduced by that share; at equal or greater fault, recovery is barred.
Time limit to sue
The Arkansas Supreme Court has said tort claims are generally subject to a three-year limitation period under Ark. Code 16-56-105(1) (Marcum v. Hodge, 2023 Ark. 103).
Statutes change, so treat this as general information and confirm with the source.
Arkansas intake checklist
- Ask how the other driver describes the crash. Under 16-64-122, a caller found equally at fault recovers nothing, so a 50-50 dispute decides the case.
- Confirm the date of the collision early in the call. Ark. Code 16-56-105(1) gives three years, and an attorney should check anything approaching it.
- Ask for the county and road where the crash happened. 68% of Arkansas's 2024 deaths were on rural roads, so note the exact location for the police report request.
- Ask, without judgment, whether everyone in the vehicle was belted. 48% of occupants killed in Arkansas in 2024 were unrestrained, so record the answer plainly for the attorney.
