Your Fayetteville Truck Accident Lawyer

The “statute of limitations” is the time limit during which you can file a lawsuit. In Arkansas, the statute of limitations on truck accidents is three years from the date of the accident. In other words, if you get injured in a truck accident that wasn’t your fault, you have three years from the date of the collision to file a lawsuit for the compensation you deserve. If you miss this window of time, you may be unable to recover any compensation at all. However, there are exceptions to this law based on your unique circumstances, so it’s important to discuss your case with an experienced Fayetteville, AR, truck accident lawyer to ensure you don’t miss any critical deadlines.

To seek compensation following a truck accident, you and your attorney must prove someone else’s negligence caused your accident and any subsequent injuries. “Negligence” is a failure to act with a reasonable amount of care. For example, the negligent party responsible for a truck accident could be the driver for not following the rules of the road, the trucking company for failing to maintain their trucks, or the shipping company for failing to secure their cargo properly, leading to an accident and your injuries.

Truck accidents are complicated and may involve multiple at-fault parties, so we cannot give you an average settlement amount without performing a case review first. Also, the settlement you may receive will depend on various factors such as your injuries, the suspected impact the accident will have on your future, and the extent of the losses you suffered as a result of the accident. Our attorneys will do everything possible to seek the full compensation you’re entitled to receive.

Because of the complexity of truck accidents, your case may take some time to settle. Some cases also take longer if they involve multiple at-fault parties or a court case. However, no matter how long your case takes, your attorney at the Niblock Law Firm will keep you updated the entire time and treat your case with the highest level of urgency.

It’s important to remember that insurance adjusters are not on your side. They’re working to protect their own company’s interests, not yours. So if the insurance company calls, it’s usually in your best interest to direct them to your lawyer.

Having a police report is an essential aid in seeking your maximum possible compensation. It can also be a vital tool for helping you recall the details of your accident, as you will need to tell your story multiple times throughout the case. While we pursue compensation for your injuries, it will be crucial to keep everything consistent, and a police report can serve as your best point of reference.

The negotiations process is typically a delicate back-and-forth between our firm and the insurance company of the other party involved in your accident. Once we’ve reviewed every detail of your case, we will add up your losses to calculate a settlement demand. We will then begin negotiations with the insurance company on your behalf until we agree on a fair amount.

Usually, truck accident claims don’t proceed to court because they get resolved through negotiations between the parties involved before reaching that point. However, a trial can become necessary if the opposing parties cannot settle on a fair amount.
