Personal Injury Attorneys in Bryant, AR

Do I Have a Personal Injury Case?

Most personal injury lawsuits are based on the legal concept of negligence. To win your personal injury case, you’ll have to prove:

1. Duty. The defendant owed you a duty of care (for example, a duty to drive safely).
2. Breach. The defendant failed to meet the standard of care (for example, by speeding).
3. Causation. The defendant’s actions were the cause of your harm.
4. Damages. You suffered harm as a result of the defendant’s negligence.

If you’re not sure whether your case meets these criteria, give us a call! Talking to an attorney at our injury law firm is one of the best ways to determine if you have a case. We can review your legal options with you and make sure you understand what is at stake. We can then help you file a claim against the at-fault party for compensation, or a personal injury lawsuit ifs necessary.

Is it Worth Hiring a Bryant Personal Injury Attorney?

With one of our attorneys on your side, insurance companies will know that you are serious about collecting what you deserve. They won’t be able to lowball you or pressure you into signing a quick settlement.

How Much Are Lawyer Fees for Personal Injury?

At Rainwater, Holt & Sexton, our lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t pay us anything unless we win or settle your case. We get paid when you receive your settlement or award, not before. This means that anyone can seek justice – even those with limited financial resources. Contact us for a free initial consultation to learn more about our fees and payments.

How Much Compensation Can I Recover for My Accident Injuries?

In general, you’ll be able to collect both economic and non-economic damages.

Economic damages include anything that’s quantifiable — for example, lost wages or medical expenses.

Non-economic damages are harder to pin down, but they’re equally important — for example, pain and suffering or decreased quality of life.

Our attorneys in Bryant will help you seek compensation for a variety of non-economic and economic expenses and damages, including:

• Medical bills
• Rehabilitation expenses
• Lost wages
• Loss of future earnings
• Emotional distress
• Pain and suffering
• Car repairs and property damage

Occasionally, a court may award punitive damages, which are meant to punish the defendant for especially egregious behavior and deter that type of behavior in the future.

What if I am to Blame for the Accident Too?

If you are partly to blame for the accident, don’t worry. Arkansas follows the doctrine of modified comparative negligence, which allows accident victims to recover damages as long as they are less than 50 percent to blame for the accident. However, the compensation you receive is reduced by how much you are found to be at fault. Insurance companies know this, so they work to increase your share of the liability. We work for you – to make sure you are not saddled with more liability than you deserve. We want you to collect the compensation you need.
