01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Arkansas?
Arkansas has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury from truck accidents (ACA § 16-56-105) — one of the more generous time limits in the South. Modified comparative fault applies with a 50% bar — if plaintiff is 50% or more at fault, recovery is barred. 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.

Where would my case be heard?
Arkansas sits at the intersection of multiple major freight corridors — I-40 (east-west) and I-55/I-57 (north-south). The state's Walmart, Tyson Foods, and J.B. Hunt Transportation headquarters generate enormous regional truck traffic. Arkansas follows modified comparative fault with a 50% bar.
