How Much Can You Sue for After a Car Accident in Arkansas?
If you’ve been in a crash in Arkansas, here’s what your injury claim could be worth—and what affects how much you can sue for.
PERSONAL INJURY
What Damages Can You Recover in an Arkansas Injury Claim?
Arkansas law allows you to sue for both economic and non-economic damages. There is no statewide cap on these damages in Arkansas car accident cases, though limits may apply in medical malpractice or government claims.
In Arkansas, there’s no hard cap on how much you can sue for after a car accident—your case value depends on your injuries, losses, and evidence.
Whether you’re negotiating with an insurance adjuster or preparing for court, you’re entitled to seek full compensation for:
Medical bills
Lost income
Pain and suffering
Property damage
Future care or disability
At Ludwig Law Firm, our personal injury lawyers help accident victims across Arkansas determine the real value of their case—and we fight to recover every dollar they’re owed.
As always - if you have a legal question you want answered in a future blog, submit it via the form on this page. Now, let's dive in!
We’ve helped clients recover six- and seven-figure amounts—especially when future medical care is documented.
How Comparative Fault Affects the Amount You Can Sue For
Arkansas follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If you’re found partially at fault, your payout will be reduced by your fault percentage. Over 49% fault, you recover nothing.
We use evidence, expert witnesses, and medical records to keep your share of fault as low as possible—because that directly affects what you get paid.
Will You Have to Go to Court?
Most car accident cases settle out of court—but we prepare every case like it’s going to trial. That pressure forces insurance companies to offer more.
When a case needs deeper litigation strength or support, we often partner with Warden Law Firm. When a client needs both finesse and firepower, a Ludwig and Warden partnership is the best option.
