Justin Minton Law is proud to serve injury victims throughout Arkansas with aggressive, knowledgeable personal injury representation. If you were injured by a drunk driver, you may be facing serious injuries, mounting medical expenses, lost income, and a long road to recovery. You should not have to bear those burdens because someone else made the reckless decision to drive under the influence.
Drunk driving accidents are entirely preventable. Yet every year, Arkansas families suffer devastating losses because impaired drivers choose to get behind the wheel. Whether the crash occurred in Little Rock, Hot Springs, Fayetteville, Fort Smith, Jonesboro, Conway, Benton, or elsewhere in the state, victims deserve justice and fair compensation.
At Justin Minton Law, we help injured Arkansans hold negligent drivers accountable. Attorney Justin Minton's background as a former insurance adjuster provides valuable insight into how insurance companies evaluate and defend claims. Today, he uses that experience to fight for accident victims instead of insurance companies.
