Arkansas Personal Injury Statute of Limitations: 2026 Window, Claims Commission 1-Year Window, and Common Pitfalls

Arkansas's general personal-injury statute of limitations is three years under Ark. Code section 16-56-105. The trap: claims against the State of Arkansas must be filed with the Arkansas Claims Commission within one year of accrual, and Arkansas applies a modified comparative-fault rule with a 50% bar (plaintiffs 50% or more at fault recover nothing).
