The firm investigates each claim by gathering medical records, accident reports, and witness statements before contacting insurers. Because Arkansas follows a modified comparative fault rule under §16-64-122, recovery is reduced by the plaintiff’s percentage of fault and barred above 50%. The attorneys explain that rule clearly during the first meeting. Clients typically pay no fee unless the firm secures a recovery.
