Arkansas's Fault System
Arkansas follows a modified comparative negligence system using a 50% bar rule. This means an injured person can recover damages only if they are less than 50% at fault for the accident. If you are found 50% or more responsible, you are barred from recovering compensation. If you are less than 50% at fault, your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies carefully examine evidence to assign fault percentages, making proper documentation and investigation crucial in Arkansas accident claims.

Insurance Requirements
Arkansas requires drivers to carry minimum liability insurance of 25/50/25. This includes $25,000 for bodily injury per person, $50,000 per accident, and $25,000 for property damage. Liability coverage pays for injuries and damages you cause to others. Arkansas also requires uninsured motorist coverage unless it is rejected in writing. Maintaining UM coverage can protect you financially if the at-fault driver does not carry insurance or has insufficient coverage to pay for your losses.
