Arkansas law requires all drivers to use “ordinary care.” Arkansas law requires drivers for common carriers, such as taxi cabs, to use a “high degree of care.” Failure to use “ordinary care,” or a “high degree of care” when applicable, is negligence.
1. If a driver is negligent and causes injuries to another person, Arkansas law imposes responsibility for the harm caused by the negligence. The driver causing the wreck is responsible for paying the injured person for all out of pocket expenses, such as medical bills, repairs to the car, and lost wages. More importantly, drivers and passengers often sustain life-altering injuries. Arkansas law imposes responsibility to compensate an injured driver or passenger for the pain and suffering caused by these serious injuries.
If you have been involved in a car or truck wreck or crash that was caused by the negligence of another driver, then the law provides that the other driver should provide you with compensation for the harm they caused.
