Like other states, Arkansas has a statute of limitations that tells you how long you have to file a personal injury lawsuit against a defendant. For most types of auto accident claims, you will have three years from the time of the accident to file a suit. If a wrongful death is involved, typically the statute of limitations provides three years from the date of death. Once three years have passed, a lawsuit would very likely be dismissed.
This statute is essentially a deadline on your case. At Levar Law Injury & Accident Lawyers, we are personally committed to fighting on behalf of accident victims.
