Get the Compensation You Deserve For Your Injuries
When you’re dealing with the aftermath of a serious accident in Arkansas, you face mounting medical expenses, lost wages, and the overwhelming stress of recovery while insurance companies work to minimize your compensation.
Pain and suffering from traumatic brain injuries, catastrophic injuries, and life threatening injuries can turn your world upside down.
The financial toll of extensive medical treatment, ongoing medical expenses, and permanent disability can devastate your family’s future.
Without experienced legal representation, injury victims often accept far less than they deserve, leaving them unable to cover their medical bills and lost income.
Many Arkansas residents don’t realize that even if they’re undocumented or lack a driver’s license, they still have valid personal injury claims.
Most people don’t understand that they shouldn’t pay medical bills out of pocket or that their injury lawyer can handle property damage claims alongside their personal injury case.
Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working to protect their interests, and without skilled attorneys on your side, you’re fighting an uphill battle on an uneven playing field.
As Arkansas personal injury attorneys, we level that playing field and ensure you get fair compensation for your injuries, medical treatment, and the true extent of your damages.
Why Many Arkansas Personal Injury Accident Victims Don't Get the Compensation They Deserve
Insurance Company Tactics
Insurance companies employ teams of adjusters and lawyers whose primary goal is to minimize payouts, often offering quick settlements that fall far short of covering your actual damages.
They may pressure you to give recorded statements, sign releases, or accept initial offers before you fully understand the extent of your injuries and their long-term impact.
Without legal representation, you’re at a significant disadvantage when negotiating with these experienced professionals who handle injury cases daily.
Misunderstanding Legal Rights
Many injury victims don’t realize they can seek compensation for non economic damages like pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
They may not understand that they can recover damages for future medical expenses, lost earning capacity, and other long-term consequences of their injuries.
Some victims believe they’re partially at fault and assume they can’t pursue a personal injury lawsuit, not knowing Arkansas law may still allow recovery even with shared fault.
Inadequate Legal Representation
Not all personal injury attorneys have the experience and resources necessary to handle complex injury cases effectively.
Some law firms treat clients as just another case number rather than understanding their unique challenges and fighting tirelessly for their rights.
Without attorneys who work on a contingency fee basis, many injury victims can’t afford legal representation and miss their opportunity to seek fair compensation.

Types of Personal Injury Accidents in Arkansas We Can Help With
Car Accidents
Car accidents remain the leading cause of personal injury claims in Arkansas, with thousands of collisions occurring annually on busy highways like I-40, I-30, and I-540. These accidents often result in soft tissue injuries, whiplash, broken bones, and traumatic brain injuries that can affect victims for months or years after the initial crash, often caused by distracted driving, drunk driving, speeding, and poor weather conditions.
Our experienced Arkansas car accident attorneys understand how to investigate crash scenes, work with accident reconstruction experts, and negotiate with insurance companies to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries and vehicle damage.
Truck Accidents
Commercial truck accidents involve massive vehicles weighing up to 80,000 pounds, creating devastating impacts that often result in catastrophic injuries or wrongful death. Arkansas’s location along major trucking routes means our highways see heavy commercial traffic, increasing the risk of serious truck accidents involving multiple vehicles and requiring specialized legal knowledge to pursue compensation against trucking companies, drivers, cargo loaders, and maintenance companies.
Our truck accident lawyers in Arkansas have the resources and experience to take on large trucking corporations and their insurance companies, ensuring all responsible parties are held accountable for your injuries.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents frequently result in severe injuries due to the lack of protection for riders, with even minor collisions often leading to broken bones, road rash, and head injuries. Arkansas’s scenic roads attract many motorcycle enthusiasts, but other drivers often fail to see motorcyclists or give them adequate space, leading to accidents that require extensive medical treatment and can result in permanent disabilities.
Our motorcycle accident attorneys in Arkansas understand the unique challenges these cases present and work to counter the unfair bias some people have against motorcycle riders when determining fault and damages.
Premises Liability
Property owners in Arkansas have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors, and when they fail to meet this responsibility, serious injuries can occur on their premises. Premises liability cases involve accidents that happen due to dangerous conditions on someone else’s property, including retail stores, restaurants, hotels, apartment complexes, and private residences.
Our Arkansas premises liability attorneys understand Arkansas property law and know how to establish that property owners knew or should have known about dangerous conditions that caused your accident and injuries.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents on someone else’s property can cause serious injuries, especially when property owners fail to maintain safe conditions like clearing ice, fixing broken handrails, or addressing wet floors. These accidents are particularly dangerous for elderly individuals who may suffer hip fractures, head injuries, or other complications that significantly impact their quality of life.
Our Arkansas slip and fall injury lawyers know how to prove property owner negligence and gather evidence like surveillance footage, maintenance records, and witness statements to support your claim.
Construction and Industrial Accidents
Workplace accidents in Arkansas’s industrial sectors, including construction sites, manufacturing facilities, and agricultural operations, often involve complex liability issues beyond standard workers’ compensation claims. Construction and industrial accidents may involve defective equipment, unsafe working conditions, or third-party negligence that allows injured workers to pursue additional compensation outside of workers’ compensation.
Our Arkansas workplace accident lawyers can help determine if you have claims against third parties like equipment manufacturers, contractors, or property owners and will help you to pursue these claims.
Defective Product Injuries
Defective products, from faulty airbags that fail to deploy properly to dangerous e-cigarettes and vape pens that explode unexpectedly, can cause serious injuries to consumers who trusted these items to be safe. Product liability cases may involve design defects, manufacturing flaws, or inadequate warnings and often require extensive investigation and expert testimony to prove the product was defective.
Our Arkansas product liability attorneys have the resources to take on large manufacturers and their legal teams, working with engineering experts and medical professionals to build strong cases for our clients.
Industrial Explosions and Oil and Gas Accidents
Industrial explosions and oil and gas accidents in Arkansas’s energy sector can result in severe burn injuries, respiratory problems, and life threatening conditions that require immediate medical attention and long-term care. These catastrophic events often involve multiple parties including drilling companies, equipment manufacturers, and safety inspectors, with workers and nearby residents suffering from chemical exposures, blast injuries, and property damage.
Our Arkansas industrial accident lawyers understand the complex regulations governing these industries and work with safety experts and medical professionals to document the full extent of your injuries and losses.

You Pay Nothing Unless We Win Your Case
At Shamieh Law, we believe the cost of quality representation should not hold you back from pursuing the compensation you need and deserve. We understand you may have lost your main source of income or vehicle after an accident and could also be facing substantial medical bills.
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay anything unless we win your case. In Texas, contingency fees are common agreements between the lawyer and the client in which the attorney does not collect a fee unless they win or settle the case.
The fee is typically calculated as a percentage of the compensation awarded. This arrangement allows clients with limited financial resources to access legal representation without paying out-of-pocket fees. So, you owe us nothing unless we win.

FAQs About Personal Injury Cases in Arkansas
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Arkansas?
What if I was partially at fault for my accident?
Arkansas follows a modified comparative fault system, which means you can still recover damages even if you were partially responsible for the accident, as long as your fault is less than the other party’s. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you may still be entitled to significant damages for your injuries and losses.
How much compensation can I expect from my personal injury case?
The value of your personal injury case depends on many factors, including the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and the impact on your daily life. Our attorneys evaluate each case individually, considering both economic damages like medical bills and lost income, and non economic damages such as pain and suffering and emotional distress.
What if the insurance company offers me a settlement?
Insurance companies often make quick settlement offers that are far below the true value of your case, hoping you’ll accept before understanding the full extent of your injuries and damages. It’s crucial to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney before accepting any settlement offer, as you typically cannot pursue additional compensation once you sign a release.
What should I do immediately after an accident?
Seek medical attention immediately, even if you don’t think you’re seriously injured, as some injuries like traumatic brain injuries may not show symptoms right away. Document the accident scene if possible, gather contact information from witnesses, and avoid giving detailed statements to insurance companies until you’ve consulted with a personal injury lawyer.
How long does a personal injury case take to resolve?
The timeline for personal injury cases varies significantly depending on the complexity of the case, the severity of injuries, and the willingness of insurance companies to negotiate fairly. Some cases settle within months, while others may take a year or more, especially if they go to trial. Your attorney will keep you informed throughout the legal process and work to resolve your case as efficiently as possible.
What if I don't have health insurance or can't afford medical treatment?
Many personal injury victims worry about affording medical treatment, but there are options available. Some medical providers work with personal injury attorneys on a lien basis, meaning they provide treatment and wait for payment until your case is resolved. Additionally, your personal injury lawyer can help you understand your options for accessing necessary medical care.
Can I still pursue a claim if the accident happened on someone else's property?
Yes, property owners have a duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors, and if their negligence contributed to your accident, you may have a valid premises liability claim. These cases can be complex, involving questions about the property owner’s knowledge of dangerous conditions and your legal status on the property, which is why it’s important to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney.
What types of damages can I recover in a personal injury case?
Personal injury victims may be entitled to recover both economic and non economic damages. Economic damages include medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage, while non economic damages cover pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. In cases involving particularly egregious conduct, punitive damages may also be awarded.
How do I know if I have a valid personal injury case?
A valid personal injury case typically requires proof that someone else’s negligence or wrongful conduct caused your injuries. This means showing that the other party had a duty to act safely, breached that duty, and that their breach directly caused your injuries and damages. An experienced personal injury lawyer can evaluate the facts of your situation and determine whether you have a viable claim.
What if the person who caused my accident doesn't have insurance?
Even if the at-fault party lacks insurance, you may still have options for recovery. Your own insurance policy may include uninsured motorist coverage, or there may be other liable parties involved in the accident. Additionally, in some cases, personal assets of the at-fault party may be available to satisfy a judgment, though this varies depending on the specific circumstances of your case.
