Justin Minton Law is proud to represent car accident victims throughout Arkansas with aggressive, knowledgeable personal injury representation. If you were injured because another driver was careless, distracted, impaired, or reckless, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. You should not have to shoulder the financial burden of someone else's negligence.
Car accidents happen every day on Arkansas roads, from Interstate 30 in Little Rock to Interstate 40, Interstate 49, Highway 67, and rural highways across the state. While some crashes result in only property damage, many leave victims with serious injuries that require extensive medical treatment and weeks, months, or even years away from work.
At Justin Minton Law, we understand how overwhelming life can become after a crash. Attorney Justin Minton previously worked as an insurance adjuster, giving him firsthand knowledge of how insurance companies investigate claims and attempt to minimize payouts. Today, he uses that experience to fight for injured Arkansans—not the insurance companies.
You should consider speaking with an attorney as soon as possible after an accident if:
The sooner an attorney becomes involved, the easier it is to preserve evidence, interview witnesses, and protect your legal rights.

Arkansas follows a modified comparative fault rule.

Insurance companies frequently attempt to shift blame onto injured drivers to reduce settlement values.

We understand how stressful life becomes after a serious accident, and we work to make the legal process as straightforward as possible while pursuing the compensation you deserve.
Arkansas law generally provides a three-year statute of limitations for most car accident injury claims. Waiting too long can affect your ability to recover compensation.
You may still have options through your uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, depending on your policy.
You should be cautious. Insurance adjusters often seek information that can reduce the value of your claim. Speaking with an attorney first can help protect your rights.
You may still recover compensation under Arkansas's modified comparative fault law if your percentage of fault is below the legal threshold.
