Pulaski County, where Little Rock is located, reported a traffic fatality rate of 17 deaths per 100,000 residents according to the Arkansas Center for Health Improvement, with roadway deaths remaining persistently high since a 28 percent increase from 2019 to 2020. Insurance companies begin working to minimize what they pay you immediately after a crash. TopDog fights to get you every dollar you deserve.
Wrongful deaths in Little Rock happen on the most dangerous corridors and in workplaces across the area. UAMS Medical Center — Arkansas's only Level I trauma center and public academic medical center serves our clients. Those accidents cause real damage to Little Rock families and we fight to get injured people the care and money they deserve.
Insurance companies operating across Little Rock often use delay, deny, and lowball tactics against Little Rock families who are already stretched thin. Government entity cases require immediate written notice — TopDog handles those immediately. We know how to leverage the justice system in Little Rock courts to fight back for what you may be owed.
IMPORTANT ARKANSAS LEGAL INFORMATION — WRONGFUL DEATH
Statute of Limitations: 3 years from the date of death in most wrongful death cases (Ark. Code § 16-62-102).
Medical Malpractice Death (Critical Exception): If the death was caused by medical negligence, the 2-year medical malpractice statute applies — not the 3-year wrongful death statute (Ark. Code § 16-114-203). This is a shorter and stricter deadline.
Who Can File: Filed by the personal representative of the deceased's estate. If no personal representative exists, heirs at law may file — including the surviving spouse, children, parents, or siblings (Ark. Code § 16-62-102).
Government Entity: If a government vehicle or agency caused the death, Ark. Code § 21-9-301 applies and practical notice and filing deadlines are much shorter. Act immediately.
Separate from Criminal Proceedings: A civil wrongful death lawsuit is entirely separate from any criminal case. No conviction is required.
Comparative Negligence: Modified comparative fault applies. If the deceased was 50% or more at fault, no recovery.
No Damage Caps: Arkansas does not cap compensatory wrongful death damages (Ark. Const. Art. 5, § 32).
This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.
Insurance companies and defense attorneys may make early low offers and often use delay tactics to minimize the loss of life and pay grieving families as little as possible. TopDog fights for your family's full recovery.
