Frequently Asked Questions
What steps should I take after my injury?
Immediately after your injury, you should seek medical attention. Not only will this ensure your safety and aid the healing process, it’ll also provide valuable evidence for your insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit. Even if you don’t think your symptoms are serious, you should consider visiting a doctor—some injuries like whiplash or soft tissue damage can worsen with time.
You should also notify any other parties that will be important during the aftermath of your injury (for example, the police and your insurance company after a car accident). Finally, you should give an Arkansas personal injury attorney a call to better understand your legal options and protect your path to compensation.
How do I know if I have a case?
While there’s no way to know for sure without consulting a lawyer, you likely have a case if another person or institution was completely or partially at fault for your injuries and losses.
Most personal injury claims are based on the legal doctrine of negligence, which has four “elements” you and your lawyer will need to prove: duty, breach, causation, and damages. Simply put, you have a negligence case if the other party(s):
- Owed you a duty of care (for example, driving safely or creating a safe work environment),
- Breached that duty (for example, by running a red light or failing to maintain heavy machinery), and
- Their breach caused you harm (for example, physical injuries, emotional distress, or property damage).
If you’re not sure whether your case meets these criteria, give our attorneys a call and we’ll explore your legal options together.
How long do I have to file a lawsuit?
In most cases, Arkansas residents have three years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. The exact timeframe may vary based on a handful of factors, but it’s typically three years. In Tennessee, the statute of limitations on personal injury lawsuits is just one year.
Because there are a handful of exceptions to these rules, it’s best to get in touch with a lawyer as soon as possible to improve your chances of a positive outcome.
How do your lawyers get paid?
Most lawyers, including ours at Rainwater, Holt & Sexton, work on a “contingency fee basis,” which means we don’t get paid until we win your case. This ensures that everyone in the communities we represent can access strong legal representation and we’re on the same team as we navigate your case together.
What types of compensation can I recover?
Damages in Arkansas and Tennessee come in three main categories: economic, non-economic, and punitive.
Economic damages are “dollars and cents” damages like medical expenses, car repairs, and lost wages. Non-economic damages are harder to tally but equally important: for example, pain and suffering or decreased quality of life. Punitive damages are only awarded when the at-fault party’s conduct was egregious, so they’re relatively rare in personal injury cases.
When you work with an experienced attorney, you can be certain that your recovery will reflect the full extent of your damages, including any chronic pain or suffering that you didn’t anticipate when the injury happened.
How do I choose the right lawyer?
When searching for a lawyer, keep an eye out for one who has plenty of experience in your specific area. For example, a dedicated motorcycle accident attorney will know how to shield an accident victim from biases against motorcyclists, and a specialized drug injury attorney will know the unique pieces of information that will make your case likely to succeed.
Most importantly, you should choose an attorney who listens carefully to your priorities and is interested in advocating for you, not just getting paid. At Rainwater, Holt & Sexton, we take extra steps to ensure that our clients receive personalized, friendly care—the kind of attention you’d receive from a neighbor in your community.
