Check for injuries and call 911: Immediately check yourself and others for injuries. Call 911, regardless of the accident's severity, to report the incident and request medical assistance if needed.
Document the scene: Take photographs and videos of the accident scene, including all vehicles involved, road conditions, and traffic signs. This documentation can be vital for your claim.
Exchange information: Swap contact and insurance information with other drivers involved but avoid discussing the fault or details of the accident.
Gather witnesses: If there are witnesses, collect their contact information. Witness statements can considerably support your case.
Notify your insurance: Inform your insurance company about the accident, but be cautious about the details you provide until speaking with your lawyer.
Seek medical attention: Even if you feel fine, a medical evaluation is crucial. Some injuries may not show immediate symptoms.
Consult with an attorney: Contact a car accident lawyer at Minton Law Firm to discuss your case. A timely consultation can be critical in protecting your rights and potential compensation.
Types of Car Accidents We Handle
Rear-end collisions: Often caused by tailgating or sudden stops, these accidents can result in whiplash and other injuries. Our firm has a track record of resolving rear-end collision claims efficiently.
Head-on collisions: These are among the most dangerous and often result in severe injuries or fatalities. We handle the complexities of head-on collisions with sensitivity and diligence.
T-bone accidents: These accidents frequently occur at intersections and can be complicated by issues of right-of-way and traffic signals. We meticulously investigate to establish fault.
Multi-vehicle pile-ups: These accidents involve multiple parties and require an intricate familiarity with liability and insurance policies. Our firm is skilled in managing the complexities of multi-vehicle accidents.
Single-car accidents: Even if no other vehicle is involved, road conditions or vehicle defects can lead to accidents. We explore every angle to identify potential claims for damages.
Understanding Arkansas’s Modified Comparative Fault in Car Accidents
Arkansas operates under a modified comparative fault system, which can affect compensation in car accident cases. This system allows for recovery if you are less than 50% at fault for the accident, but your percentage of fault will reduce your compensation. Our attorneys at Minton Law Firm are proficient in leveraging this rule to maximize your recovery.
We focus on meticulously building your case to demonstrate the other party's liability while minimizing your fault. By gathering robust evidence and employing effective legal strategies, we ensure that the fault is allocated accurately and fairly, optimizing your compensation.
How to Deal with Insurance Companies
Dealing with insurance companies after a car accident can be daunting and frustrating. Our experienced car accident lawyers at Minton Law Firm are skilled at handling complex negotiations with insurers. We know their strategies and how to counteract them to protect your interests.
It's essential to have skilled representation when communicating with insurance companies. Our team ensures that lowball offers or denials do not undermine your rights. We advocate strongly on your behalf, ensuring that all communications are strategically aligned with your best interests. We can help you maximize your insurance claim.
Recovering Damages for Car Accident Injuries
Medical costs: Compensation for medical expenses includes immediate treatment costs and anticipated future medical care related to your injuries.
Lost wages: If your injuries prevent you from working, you can claim lost wages. This includes past lost income and potential future earnings.
Pain and suffering: Non-economic damages for pain and suffering are calculated based on the severity of your injuries and their effects on your lifestyle.
Property damage: Compensation for damages to your vehicle and other personal property is typically included in car accident claims.
Punitive damages: In cases of egregious negligence, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct.
Most Common Causes of Car Accidents in Arkansas
Distracted driving: One of the leading causes of car accidents, including texting, using GPS, or other distractions that take a driver's attention off the road. Such distractions can greatly diminish a driver’s ability to react to sudden changes in traffic conditions or road hazards. Our firm works to demonstrate how these distractions contributed to the accident to support your claim.
Speeding: Exceeding speed limits or driving too fast for conditions is a prevalent cause of accidents, resulting in reduced reaction times and increased severity of collisions. Speeding makes it harder to control a vehicle and increases the force of the trauma, exacerbating injuries and damages. We meticulously gather evidence to prove how speeding led to the accident and seek appropriate compensation for the victims.
Driving under the influence: Alcohol or drugs impair driving ability substantially, increasing the risk of catastrophic accidents. Impaired drivers have reduced coordination, reaction time, and judgment, which are imperative for safe driving. Our firm is committed to holding drunk drivers accountable and ensuring that victims are compensated for their suffering.
Poor road conditions: Potholes, lack of proper signage, and inadequate road maintenance can lead to accidents. We investigate whether governmental entities could be liable for failing to maintain safe road conditions. Establishing government liability involves proving that they were aware of the poor conditions and promptly did nothing to remedy them.
Weather conditions: Rain, snow, ice, and fog are common contributors to car accidents in Arkansas. We assess how weather conditions burdened your accident and who may be responsible. Our evaluation includes whether the other parties failed to adjust their driving appropriately to the adverse weather conditions.
