With miles of freeways, highways, and smaller roads, car accidents are not only possible, but common in Arkansas and across the nation. These accidents are not only stressful, but the resulting injury or wrongful death can have long-term effects on your and your family. Caddell Reynolds Law Firm represents car accident cases with the goal of seeking full and fair compensation based on the damages you have incurred.
While this financial help won’t heal your injuries or bring your loved one back, it can pay for:
The actions you take in the minutes after a car accident matter. For many claimants, those minutes are crucial for gathering the evidence that will later act as the foundation of their claims.
Let our attorneys know if you did any of these steps after your car accident:
If your loved one was killed in a car accident, you may have rights to sue in Arkansas through what is called a wrongful death lawsuit. Wrongful death lawsuits seek to establish liability and damages with the party responsible for the death. If a person dies due to the preventable actions or negligence of another person—such as the reckless driving that causes fatal car accidents—the family members can sue for wrongful death. Unlike criminal trials (through which the state of Arkansas may try the responsible party for involuntary or voluntary manslaughter), those who are not convicted may still be found guilty in a wrongful death lawsuit.
Your first step in looking for retribution is to contact a Jonesboro wrongful death attorney with experience supporting families after deadly motor vehicle accidents. Your lawyer can help you determine whether the death of your loved one was due to criminal action, intent, or negligence. One of these three reasons need to be valid in order to seek damages (or monetary awards). You must also demonstrate you are suffering monetarily due to your loved one’s death to support the damages you seek.
While the result of any lawsuit cannot compensate for the loss you have suffered, it does allow you and your family to seek justice in a public court of law. There are three types of damages commonly awarded in a wrongful death lawsuit: economic, non-economic, and punitive.
If you do win a wrongful death lawsuit, sometimes the court will allow you to obtain interest on the money due to you from the time of the death until the time of collection. In some cases, you may also be able to get your attorneys’ fees paid in the judge’s final ruling.
