You May Be Entitled to Compensation After an Accident in West Memphis

Auto accidents frequently occur in and around West Memphis, especially on some its busiest roads, which include Interstate 55, Broadway Boulevard, and Missouri Street. Many of these wrecks are caused by mistakes made by negligent drivers. Examples include driving under the influence of alcohol, texting while driving, speeding, and distracted driving. Truck drivers, who spend a good amount of the day on the road, can also be negligent and put others’ safety at risk. Depending on the facts, claims may be asserted against the trucking company.

In Arkansas, auto and trucking accident victims may be entitled to seek compensation for hospital bills, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses caused by the collision. In an 18-wheeler wreck case, the trucking company could potentially be liable as well. If you or a loved one has been hurt in an auto accident, consulting with a personal injury attorney in West Memphis can be helpful for obtaining fair compensation.

Arkansas has laws regarding the duties that a property manager, landowner, or business owner owes to others on the property. For example, imagine breaking your arm after slipping and falling next to a leaking freezer at a grocery store. If employees or management were aware of this leak and did nothing to fix it or at least warn customers, the store could be liable and you may be able to recover damages. Premises liability cases in West Memphis can also include inadequate security. If a business, shopping center, or apartment complex is located in a high crime area and a customer or guest is injured in a criminal attack, like a robbery, kidnapping, or arson, the owner may be legally responsible for the victim’s injuries. Litigation and extensive discovery may be required in these cases.

Helping Those Unable to Work Recover Social Security Disability Benefits

There may be a time when you are seriously injured in an accident or suffering from a medical condition that is preventing you from going to work. Social Security Disability or Supplemental Security Income benefits exist to cover people who are in this situation. These benefits, paid out on a monthly basis to those unable to work for at least 12 consecutive months or longer, can last until the victim is able to return to work. The process of obtaining these benefits can appear intimidating, and many deserving claims are denied at the initial level. An experienced lawyer will understand how to handle the various levels of appeals within the Social Security application process.
