Treble Damages in Arkansas

Arkansas law authorizes a treble‑damages award of three times the actual loss when a trespass involves the injury, destruction, or carrying away of trees, timber, stone, crops, or other property. This rule is codified at Ark. Code Ann. § 18-60-102, which sets out the circumstances that trigger the multiplier. The statute does not provide a fixed formula for every case; instead, it directs the trier of fact to determine the actual damages and then multiply that amount by three. The worked example below illustrates how this calculation applies in a typical scenario. For a precise estimate based on your own facts, use the DocketMath calculator and consult the official source for the full statutory language.
