If you live in Arkansas and have been hurt in a crash, you should speak to Arkansas trucking accidents attorneys as soon as possible after your accident. Although you may have a longer period of time to file a lawsuit, you may have rights to many claims which can be lost if you do not file the proper paperwork which may need to be filed within days of your accident. Some of these rights an accident victim can claim are for medical bills, transportation expenses, household help, lost income, disability payments, property damage and compensation for your injuries. Sometimes, claims must be filed with more than one insurance company and if a claim must be filed with the government agency it usually must be filed within days of your accident.

Do not speak to any insurance company which is not your own and do not give any taped statements until you speak with a truck accident attorney. If you are asked to give a statement, simply ask for the name and phone number of the person requesting the statement and tell them you will call back. Since you must report an incident to your own insurance company immediately, you should call a lawyer immediately.

Some questions to remember when talking with a law firm about your case include:

- Is this consultation given without charge to me?
- What rights do I have that need to be protected?
- Who will pay my medical bills; physical therapy bills; drug bills; transportation expenses; temporary or permanent household help; lost income; property damage; and pain and suffering?
- How long have you and your law firm been practicing law?
- Do you practice primarily in the field of Personal Injury and accidents?

Remembering these questions will help you get the most of your lawyer.
