Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims
What is considered a personal injury claim?
A personal injury claim arises when you suffer injury or damage. This happens due to another person’s or entity’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional conduct. This includes car accidents, slip and fall incidents, workplace injuries, medical malpractice, and defective products. The key element is that someone else’s actions or failure to act caused your injury.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Arkansas?
In Arkansas, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is three years. This is measured from the date of injury. You have three years to file a lawsuit. However, there are exceptions to this rule. These depend on the type of injury and circumstances involved. It’s important to contact an attorney promptly. This ensures your claim is filed within the applicable deadline. The Arkansas Courts maintain detailed information on civil procedure rules and filing requirements.
What damages can I recover in a personal injury case?
You may recover compensation for economic damages. These include medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs. You may also recover non-economic damages. These include pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. In cases involving gross negligence or intentional conduct, punitive damages may also be available. Our attorneys evaluate all potential damages. We work to ensure you receive full compensation.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
Odom Law Firm works on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront. We only collect a fee if we recover compensation for you. This happens through settlement or verdict. This arrangement aligns our interests with yours. We’re motivated to maximize your recovery. Our compensation depends on it.
What should I do immediately after an injury?
Report the incident to the appropriate authorities or property owner as soon as possible. Document the accident scene with photos or video if you can. Collect contact and insurance information from everyone involved, as well as names and contact details for any witnesses. Seek medical attention promptly, even if your injuries seem minor. Avoid discussing the accident on social media. Contact our office for a free consultation to learn about your rights and options, and don’t speak with insurance adjusters before getting legal advice.
How long does a personal injury case take?
The timeline varies depending on case complexity, injury severity and the length of your medical treatment, and whether the case settles or goes to trial. Some cases resolve in a matter of months, while others may take longer. Our attorneys work to move your case forward efficiently and will keep you informed throughout the process.
