Navigating Wrongful Death Claims in Arkansas

In Rogers, Arkansas, a wrongful death occurs when someone dies because of another party’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions, like a fatal car crash, medical error, or unsafe conditions. Under these circumstances, the surviving family has grounds to file a claim and pursue compensation.

Who Is Eligible to File a Wrongful Death Claim?

Under Arkansas law, a wrongful death action must be brought by the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate. If no personal representative has been appointed, the claim may be brought by the deceased person’s heirs at law. The personal representative is responsible for the following:

Filing the wrongful death lawsuit
Managing the legal process
Pursuing compensation for the benefit of eligible family members

If the deceased person did not appoint a representative in their will, the court may appoint someone to serve in this role, such as the surviving spouse, children, parents, or siblings.

Causes of Wrongful Death Cases in Rogers

Several different types of accidents could result in a wrongful death, including the following:

Car crashes
Truck collisions
Motorcycle wrecks
Workplace accidents
Medical negligence
Dangerous property conditions

Types of Compensation in a Wrongful Death Claim

Compensation helps address both financial and emotional losses from a personal injury or wrongful death. Every claim is unique, and the exact types of compensation you can secure depend on the circumstances. Some examples include:

Funeral and burial expenses
Medical bills before death
Lost income and financial support
Loss of companionship
Emotional suffering
Loss of guidance for children

Noteworthy Wrongful Death Case Results

NST Law obtained a $1.3 million settlement on behalf of a 21-year-old mother whose unborn child sustained fatal neurological injuries following a head-on collision. Our firm engaged experts in obstetrics, neonatology, and pediatric neurology to establish the connection between the crash and the infant’s injuries and death, along with an economist to calculate financial damages. After preparing the case for trial, NST secured a settlement that was 2.5 times higher than the insurer’s previous top offer.
