Drunk Driver Accidents in Arkansas

Accidents caused by impaired drivers often result in severe and life-altering injuries. When a driver chooses to operate a vehicle under the influence, Arkansas law allows injured victims to pursue civil claims for compensation.

These cases often involve police reports, chemical testing, and criminal charges in addition to civil injury claims. Civil cases focus on compensating victims, regardless of the outcome of criminal proceedings.

Injuries may require emergency treatment, surgery, rehabilitation, and long-term care. Claims may include medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.

Evidence preservation is critical in drunk driving cases, especially when multiple legal proceedings are involved.

Understanding how civil injury claims work alongside criminal cases helps victims navigate the process more effectively. If you were injured by a drunk driver, you may have a civil injury claim. Contact our office to discuss your rights under Arkansas law.
