Arkansas wrongful death law after intersection crashes

Arkansas’s wrongful death statute, Ark. Code Ann. § 16-62-102, allows family members or a personal representative to bring a claim for damages such as funeral expenses, lost support, and loss of companionship. Claims must usually be filed within three years from the date of death. A related survival action under Ark. Code Ann. § 16-62-101 can allow the estate to recover medical bills and pain and suffering the victim experienced before death.
