01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Arkansas?
Arkansas has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims under Ark. Code § 16-56-105. The discovery rule applies to latent toxic exposure injuries, providing a more favorable window than the 2-year periods in many neighboring states. A lawyer can confirm yours.

Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
Arkansas has confirmed PFAS contamination at Little Rock Air Force Base near Jacksonville. The base's decades of AFFF fire training operations have contaminated groundwater serving Jacksonville and North Little Rock communities in Pulaski County. Arkansas's 3-year statute of limitations is more favorable than most states.
