Arkansas's Legal Landscape
Personal injury law in Arkansas is built on a modified comparative fault (50% bar) foundation, which determines how fault is assigned and how much of your damages you can actually recover.
The 50% bar in Arkansas's comparative fault system creates a hard cutoff. Claimants must demonstrate they were less than half at fault to recover anything, making fault analysis and evidence of the other party's responsibility especially important.
