Damages Allocation in Arkansas

Arkansas law governs damages allocation under Ark. Code Ann. § 16-64-122. When a plaintiff is found partially at fault, any recovery is reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to the plaintiff, but only if that percentage is 50% or less. If the plaintiff’s fault exceeds 50%, they are barred from recovering any damages. The statute sets out the specific factors for determining fault percentages. A step-by-step worked example below demonstrates how the calculator applies this 50% threshold. For a precise estimate of how this rule affects a specific case, use the DocketMath calculator and consult the official source for the full statutory text.
