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.

Amazing experience. Once Monte Sharits took over my case, I no longer had to speak to the insurance company which had been a real headache for me. I immediately was able to get treatment through a trusted chiropractor which helped tremendously after my accident. Monte and Liz Davis were always extremely helpful with providing any updates throughout the case. Although I do not wish an accident upon anyone, I would highly recommend Monte Sharits and all the staff at Odum Law Firm if you ever find yourself in a situation where you need a trusted attorney who will be committed 110% on your case.

Matt Lindsey and Ashley Rodriguez were great! Quick to respond to my questions and needs. Matt explained what would take place and how we would proceed. First time I’ve needed an attorney for anything besides a divorce. I’m very pleased!

I was involved in an accident in June 2021. Soon after, I chose Odom Law Firm/Matt Lindsay to represent me. From the very beginning he was honest, available when needed, answered all of my questions, etc. He fought for every penny on 3rd party settlement and I ended up receiving more than what we had originally thought.

Scott Pitts, Google Review

Five stars! Ten out of ten! I highly recommend and am thoroughly impressed with Odom Law Firm! After I was rear ended by another car, I could barely turn, raise, or lower my head from the whiplash. Odom Law Firm is very experienced and knowledgeable with car accident injuries and was very thorough with my case…

Great people! Made me feel right at home. I enjoyed meeting all the ones there that I have communicated with. I highly recommend them. They are actually concerned about the welfare of their clients and encourage us to see a professional to talk to about things that we (I) have been through and have CPTSD from. I appreciate that!
