How Arkansas Law Affects Your Toxic Exposure Claim

Arkansas uses a modified comparative fault system with a 50% bar, meaning a plaintiff who is 50% or more at fault cannot recover damages. The state has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, giving plaintiffs slightly more time than many other states. Arkansas does not cap non-economic or compensatory damages in personal injury cases.

Under Arkansas's modified comparative fault (50% bar) system, your settlement may be affected if you share any responsibility for the accident. Your recovery will be reduced by your fault percentage, and you are barred from recovery if your fault reaches 50% or more.
