Question 1

What personal injury case types do you cover in Arkansas?

Accepted Answer

Premises liability and slip and fall are our headline Arkansas categories: big-box and grocery (Walmart, Sam's Club, Target, Kroger, Harps, Edwards, Brookshire's, Hometown), restaurant and hotel, parking lot, apartment complex, condominium common areas, and shopping-center files. Walmart Inc. and Sam's Club HQ are in Bentonville (Benton County) and Walmart Supercenters and Sam's Clubs blanket the state, making Arkansas a high-volume forum for Walmart/Sam's Club premises files. We also cover auto / car accident, truck and 18-wheeler (J.B. Hunt-corridor), motorcycle, rideshare (Uber and Lyft), pedestrian and bicyclist, dog bite (common-law one-bite/scienter), wrongful death, Tyson Foods workplace and meatpacking files (Springdale HQ), and product liability. Most firms buying Arkansas leads from us mix a heavy slip-and-fall and Walmart-premises base with steady auto and J.B. Hunt-corridor trucking flow.

Question 2

How does Arkansas premises liability law work?

Accepted Answer

Arkansas preserves the traditional invitee/licensee/trespasser tripartite framework. Heigle v. Miller, 332 Ark. 315 (1998) reaffirmed that a social guest is a licensee (not an invitee), owed only a duty to refrain from willful or wanton conduct and to warn of known hidden dangers; an invitee requires presence "desired by the defendant, generally for some purpose other than social intercourse." Property owners owe invitees ordinary care including reasonable inspection. Surveillance preservation, prior-complaint discovery, and incident-report status drive Arkansas slip-and-fall outcomes. Ark. Code § 18-11-108 protects landowners from liability for unforeseeable third-party criminal acts; foreseeability evidence (prior incidents, security level) is the operative analysis on inadequate-security files.

Question 3

How does the Arkansas dog-bite framework work?

Accepted Answer

Arkansas has NO statewide strict-liability dog-bite statute. Arkansas applies the common-law one-bite/scienter rule: the owner is liable only if they knew or should have known of the dog's vicious propensities. Recovery theories include scienter, negligence, negligence per se where leash-law/at-large ordinances are violated, and intentional tort. Some local ordinances (notably Benton County) impose strict liability for aggressive dogs, materially affecting NWA dog-bite files. Ark. Code § 5-62-125 (criminal) creates misdemeanor liability for negligently allowing a vicious dog to inflict serious injury, with restitution available. The 3-year general PI clock under Ark. Code § 16-56-105 governs.

Question 4

How much do Arkansas premises liability and slip-and-fall leads cost?

Accepted Answer

Arkansas premises and slip-and-fall lead pricing tracks the Google Ads auction. Personal injury commercial-intent CPCs across Arkansas generally run $40 to $150, with Little Rock, Bentonville, Rogers, Fayetteville, and Springdale at the top end and rural counties meaningfully lower. Walmart-specific premises queries push higher in the NWA corridor. We price per lead with no minimums and no contracts.

Question 5

What is the statute of limitations for Arkansas personal injury claims?

Accepted Answer

Three years from the date of injury under Ark. Code § 16-56-105 for most personal injury claims, including premises, slip and fall, dog bite, auto, and product. The discovery rule applies for latent injuries. Wrongful death runs on a separate 3-year clock under Ark. Code § 16-62-102 with a 1-year savings clause if a nonsuit was entered; med-mal wrongful death runs on the 2-year med-mal clock under Ark. Code § 16-114-203. Tolling for minors generally extends until 3 years after age 21. Sovereign immunity under Ark. Const. art. V, § 20 bars direct claims against the State; claims must be filed with the Arkansas State Claims Commission under Ark. Code § 19-10-201 et seq. Political-subdivision liability under Ark. Code § 21-9-301 is limited to the extent of liability insurance coverage. Product liability has its own 3-year clock under Ark. Code § 16-116-103 (and § 16-116-203 in the Arkansas Product Liability Act of 1979).

Question 6

How does Arkansas' 50% bar comparative fault rule affect premises and PI cases?

Accepted Answer

Arkansas applies modified comparative fault under Ark. Code § 16-64-122 with a 50% bar (the "less than 50%" or "49%" rule). A claimant whose fault is equal to or greater than the combined fault of defendants recovers nothing; at exactly 50% the plaintiff is barred. Damages are otherwise reduced proportionally below the bar. The same rule governs premises, dog bite, auto, and most negligence claims. Counsel may argue the effect of fault interrogatory answers to the jury under Arkansas practice. Borderline-fault Arkansas PI leads (slip-and-fall with prior wet-floor warning posted, premises files where plaintiff partially ignored a marked hazard) are flagged at intake for additional context, with the 49/50 line as the critical threshold.

Question 7

Does Arkansas cap PI noneconomic damages?

Accepted Answer

No general cap on PI noneconomic damages. The Civil Justice Reform Act of 2003 punitive cap (greater of $250,000 or 3x compensatory, with a $1M absolute cap under Ark. Code § 16-55-208) was struck down in Bayer CropScience LP v. Schafer, 2011 Ark. 518, 385 S.W.3d 822 as unconstitutional under Ark. Const. art. 5, § 32, which prohibits the legislature from limiting "the amount recovered for injuries resulting in death or for injuries to persons or property." Punitive damages remain UNCAPPED in Arkansas. There is no statutory med-mal noneconomic cap currently in force. Issue 1 (2018), a proposed constitutional amendment to cap noneconomic damages at $500,000 and attorneys' fees at one-third, was struck from the ballot by the Arkansas Supreme Court before voters could enact it. Arkansas is one of the most plaintiff-friendly damages-cap jurisdictions in the South.

Question 8

Do you handle Walmart and Sam's Club premises files?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Walmart Inc. and Sam's Club HQ are in Bentonville (Benton County), and Walmart Supercenters and Sam's Clubs blanket the state. Slip-and-fall, falling-merchandise, parking-lot assault, employee-conduct, and inadequate-security claims against Walmart/Sam's Club concentrate disproportionately in Arkansas. We screen Walmart files for incident-report status, surveillance preservation timing, store-condition context (wet floor, debris, broken display), and prior-complaint indicators. Walmart's in-house claims handling and litigation-management approach is well-known to Arkansas firms; we capture the data points that anchor the demand letter.

Question 9

Do you handle J.B. Hunt and other NWA trucking files?

Accepted Answer

Yes. J.B. Hunt Transport Services HQ is in Lowell (Benton County). 2024 fatal crashes involving J.B. Hunt trucks reportedly rose to 31 (vs. 19 in 2023), and ongoing federal trucking dockets in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas (Fayetteville) include Lee v. JB Hunt (5:24-cv-05223) and Waters v. JB Hunt (5:24-cv-05089). We screen NWA trucking files for FMCSA hours-of-service compliance, equipment-maintenance records, and driver-fatigue evidence. Tyson Foods workplace and commercial-fleet files concentrate in Springdale (Washington County) and the surrounding poultry-processing corridor; third-party PI claims outside the workers' comp exclusive remedy are the typical recovery path.

Question 10

Are your Arkansas leads pre-screened against the 3-year SOL?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Arkansas lead is screened for SOL position under Ark. Code § 16-56-105, representation status, injury, and 50% bar comparative-fault sanity check under Ark. Code § 16-64-122. Premises and slip-and-fall leads include surface-condition context. State-defendant files are flagged for the Arkansas State Claims Commission filing requirement; political-subdivision files are flagged for the Ark. Code § 21-9-301 insurance-coverage limit. Product-liability leads are evaluated against the 3-year SOL under Ark. Code § 16-116-103 and the strict-liability framework of the Arkansas Product Liability Act of 1979.

Question 11

Any contracts, minimums, or setup fees?

Accepted Answer

None. No monthly minimums, no subscriptions, no setup fees for standard onboarding. Pay per lead. Pause or resume anytime. Invalid leads are replaced under our standard policy.
