Car accident lawyer in Little Rock, AR

The first days after a Little Rock crash

See a doctor soon and describe every symptom, including those you expect to pass. Request the crash report from Little Rock police, the Pulaski County sheriff or the Arkansas State Police. Photograph both vehicles, the bridge or roadway, construction barriers and signals. Collect names and numbers of witnesses. Keep bills, receipts and notes on missed work in one place. Write out your own account while it is fresh. Should the other driver's side ask for a recorded statement, hold off until a car accident attorney has told you what to expect. Keep comments about the crash off social media, where they are easy to find and misread.

Little Rock interstates and crash patterns

Interstate 30 and Interstate 40 meet in North Little Rock and cross the Arkansas River into downtown on bridges that have been under reconstruction for years. Interstate 630 runs west from downtown through the heart of the city with short ramps and heavy rush hour volume. Interstate 430 loops around the west side, and Interstate 440 and Interstate 530 serve the airport and the southeast. US 67 and US 167 bring commuters from Jacksonville and Cabot. Long-haul trucks pass through on I-40 at all hours. Winter ice storms coat the bridges and overpasses before anything else, spring storms bring heavy rain and hail, and construction zones shift lanes without much warning.

What our free case review includes

A person is available at any hour in English, Spanish or Arabic. We ask about the collision, your injuries, the treatment so far and what the other side has told you. We explain how Arkansas handles shared fault and deadlines in plain words. The free consultation is not a sales process. When a personal injury lawyer licensed in Arkansas should look at your case, we explain the referral and what to expect. When the case looks weak, because of minor injuries or clear fault on your part, we tell you and suggest ways to handle it yourself.

Getting you to an Arkansas attorney

Car Accident Lawyers Agency is a referral service, not a law firm, and does not represent clients. We connect injured people in Little Rock with independent attorneys licensed in Arkansas who handle crash cases in Pulaski County and central Arkansas. The match reflects the kind of crash, the injuries, whether a semi, government vehicle or rideshare was involved and where the case would be heard. The attorney gets in touch to discuss representation. We tell you plainly when a case is not one to pursue, because waiting on a case that will not move is harder than hearing no at the start.

Once an attorney is on your side

Your personal injury attorney puts the other driver's side on notice, and communication runs through their office after that. They obtain the crash report, medical records, bills, photographs, witness statements and any available video from traffic cameras or businesses. Arkansas uses a modified comparative fault rule, so the attorney works to establish an accurate account of responsibility. In truck cases, they send preservation requests for logs and electronic data early. Once your recovery plateaus, they draft a demand and negotiate. If that fails, a lawsuit can be filed in Pulaski County Circuit Court. You are informed at each stage and asked before any major step.
