Whether you were struck while crossing the street downtown, walking near the River Market District, using a marked crosswalk, or traveling through another area of Pulaski County, our legal team is here to help.

Pedestrian accidents often result in catastrophic injuries because people have little protection against the force of a motor vehicle. If a negligent driver caused your injuries, Minton Law Firm will investigate your case, preserve critical evidence, and pursue the compensation you deserve while you focus on healing.
Pedestrians are among the most vulnerable road users. A collision with a passenger vehicle, SUV, commercial truck, or motorcycle can leave victims with life-changing injuries or permanent disabilities.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 7,314 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes nationwide during 2023, including 74 pedestrian fatalities in Arkansas. Pedestrians accounted for more than 17% of all traffic fatalities nationwide, underscoring the serious risks people face while walking near traffic.
Little Rock's busy intersections, high-traffic corridors, and growing pedestrian activity make it especially important for drivers to remain alert and obey Arkansas traffic laws.
Many pedestrian accidents occur because drivers fail to notice or yield to people walking.
Some of the most common causes include:
Our attorneys thoroughly investigate every pedestrian accident to determine exactly what caused the collision and who should be held responsible.

Arkansas follows a modified comparative fault rule. If you are found to be less than 50% responsible for the accident, you may still recover compensation, although your recovery will generally be reduced by your percentage of fault.
In most cases, Arkansas law also provides three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Waiting too long may prevent you from recovering compensation, so it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
