In Arkansas, the statute of limitations for wrongful death claims and lawsuits is three years from the date of death unless the decedent’s death was due to a medical error. In this case, a personal representative or close family member must file the claim within two years of the date of death to receive compensation.
Claims are based on a negligence-based act, such as a car accident, medical malpractice, or an intentional act (such as a crime).
Damages for wrongful death in Arkansas provide a deceased person’s surviving spouse and family members financial support during an especially stressful period.
Wrongful death claims are sometimes classified as either a family claim or an estate claim.
The decedent’s estate may receive compensation for losses the victim suffered from the fatal accident.
Damages include:
Surviving family members may file a family claim to pursue compensation for the surviving members who suffered from losing their loved one.
If you submit this claim, you can gain damages related to:
Our Arkansas legal professionals at TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers can pursue your entitled damages according to state law. While some states divide settlements in wrongful death cases equally among family survivors, Arkansas family members are only entitled to the damages they require.
Regardless of how many family members are eligible to seek compensation, all the financial distributions are managed under one claim. As a result, some family members may receive more or less compensation from the settlement, depending on certain facts.
These facts include:
So, if you were a child who was financially dependent on a deceased parent, you’re likely to get a higher award than a child who has moved out and is working on their own. As a result, the division and calculation of a wrongful death claim can be complex.
That’s why working with a lawyer from TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers will give you an edge in receiving justice and a more equitable settlement.
We can seek money for the wrongful fatality of a loved one in one of various actions.
Specific examples may include:
After you arrange a consultation with our compassionate Arkansas wrongful death law firm, one of our accomplished attorneys will determine:
Because our lawyers are familiar with the Arkansas legal code, we can construct a strong case to empower you to receive a reasonable settlement and the justice your family deserves.
Below are some key ways a lawyer fights an insurance company for a higher payout in a wrongful death settlement case. If the liable party is uninsured, they personally owe the money for the claim.
Through financial analysis, an attorney can determine how much financial support was lost through a loved one’s death. Accounting for economic damages related to household service contributions or parental nurturing also increases the total valuations of the claims.
Lawyers present evidence like photos, videos, and eyewitness testimonies to depict the horrific nature of the fatality. This allows the lawyer to place a higher emphasis on each survivor’s mental anguish after losing a loved one prematurely. Proving the tragedy leads to greater remuneration in a wrongful death case.
For incidents involving reckless conduct like drunk driving or company safety violations, attorneys petition courts to assign punitive fines - levied against insured defendants directly. This means quicker settlements from guilty parties who want to avoid huge courtroom losses.
A public wrongful death jury trial highlighting gross negligence or misconduct can hurt an insurer's brand reputation. Settling with a bigger pretrial award mitigates public backlash risks over the fatality.
Lawyers uncover any umbrella policies, excess liability limits, or multiple defendant coverages to expand financial channels accessible - pushing settlement valuations upward. More money availability equals bigger total offers.
Lawyers at TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers are available 24/7 to take your call. Simply give us a call at (501) 381-5954 for a free consultation and case evaluation.
Don’t let time slip by. Again, the statute of limitations runs out after three years (from the date of death) for most claims and two years from the date of death for medical malpractice claims.
