What Defines A Multi-Vehicle Or Chain Reaction Accident?

A multi-vehicle or chain reaction accident occurs when you hit a vehicle from behind, and that impact is passed through a line of cars in front of you, like a series of falling dominoes.

Because everyone involved has the impact passed forward to them, determining liability can be complicated. Everyone’s own insurance company will attempt to ensure they’re not held liable for any part of the damages. However, it’s typically the driver who started or caused the chain reaction who is responsible for covering the other drivers’ damages.

What Are Soft Tissue Injuries And Why Are They Difficult To Prove After A Car Accident In Arkansas?

A soft tissue injury is generally one that doesn’t result in a broken bone or a cut and is often a musculoskeletal issue. A whiplash, a sprain, or a strain could all be considered soft tissue injuries, maybe even bruising.

These injuries are difficult to prove because they’re not as visible as a broken bone or a cut, so insurance companies often try to devalue them. My job as your attorney is to highlight the medical records and evidence to show what you went through and prove that your injuries are real and you did, in fact, experience pain and suffering.

What Is Underinsured Motorist (UIM) Coverage?

Underinsured motorist coverage is additional coverage you purchase to protect yourself in the event you’ve been hit by an at-fault driver who carries the state’s minimum mandated insurance or something above the minimum but not enough to cover your full damages. Those damages would include medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering.

What Are Some Common Accident-Related Injuries That Can Result In Delayed Symptoms?

Closed head injuries and concussions can result in delayed symptoms. You may not know you’ve had a concussion immediately following an accident. That’s why it’s so important to get checked out by a medical professional, even if you don’t think you’re injured.

The most common injury is whiplash. Often, after an accident, your adrenaline is high, and you’re not thinking about pain. You’re still stressed, scared and agitated. However, the next day, after you’ve slept and calmed down, the neck pain, whiplash, strains and sprains start to show.

How Does The At Fault System In Arkansas Impact Who Pays Medical Bills After A Rideshare Accident?

The driver, Uber, or both are responsible for paying an injured person’s medical bill after a Rideshare accident, when the rideshare driver is at fault. We notify all the insurance companies that may be responsible for paying, and then we almost always let them figure it out.

Oftentimes, both companies will try to point the finger at each other, and generally, we can come to an arrangement where either one pays for all of it or they split it. If not, we file a lawsuit. That’s a car accident attorney’s greatest tool: the power to sue people who have done wrong, bring them to court, and make them pay for the damages that they’ve caused.

What Was The Collateral-Source Rule In Arkansas Before Act 28, And How Did It Protect Personal Injury Victims?

Before Act 28 went into effect in August 2025, the collateral-source rule prohibited the introduction of any evidence (whether in settlement negotiations or in front of a judge or jury) about payments made on an injured person’s medical bills.

For example, if someone went to the hospital and their health insurance paid or adjusted their emergency room bill, that didn’t matter. The person at fault was still responsible for paying 100% of the bills. It didn’t matter if the injured person had planned ahead, purchased their own insurance, or even had a friend or family member help cover the expenses.
