Accidents change lives in an instant. One moment you are driving home from work or walking into a store, and the next you are facing pain, medical bills, and questions you never planned for. At The Knapp Law Firm, we help injured people across Helena and the Arkansas Delta find direction, clarity, and fair treatment under the law. We start by listening to your story. Then we explain your options clearly and guide you step by step through what comes next. You will always know what is happening and why.
For more than 20 years, Donald E. Knapp, Jr. has represented clients across Arkansas, Tennessee, and Mississippi. Based in Helena with offices across the region, he has built a practice defined by preparation, honesty, and care. Mr. Knapp believes in meeting clients where they are. He knows that after an accident, people need information they can understand, not legal talk that makes things worse. That belief shapes everything we do. We are not a high-volume billboard firm. We are a Delta-based practice with the depth to handle complex cases and the personal connection to treat every client with respect.
Our personal injury practice covers the full range of accident and negligence claims, handled with care and clear communication from start to finish.
We represent people in Helena and across the Arkansas Delta injured by negligence. Our cases typically involve speeding, distracted, or impaired drivers. We help victims understand their rights and pursue fair compensation for medical costs, lost income, and long-term recovery needs.
Motorcyclists and pedestrians face unique dangers on Arkansas roads. We assist those with serious injuries by gathering evidence, holding negligent drivers accountable, and guiding you through every stage of the legal process with clear communication.
Unsafe property conditions often cause severe injuries. Whether from poor lighting, broken flooring, or neglected maintenance, we build strong premises liability cases under Arkansas law to help you recover compensation for your injuries.
For families who have lost loved ones to preventable accidents, we provide compassionate guidance. Our team handles investigations and legal processes so families can focus on healing while we pursue the justice and compensation they deserve.
When outside parties violate safety protocols at work sites, we help injured workers explore options beyond workers' compensation. We clearly explain the differences between workers' comp and third-party liability claims to ensure you understand all recovery paths.
When insurance companies delay, deny, or undervalue legitimate claims, we advocate for fairness and accountability. We ensure your voice is heard and your case receives the attention it deserves throughout the claims resolution process.
If you or someone you love has been injured in Helena or anywhere in the Arkansas Delta, now is the time to understand your options. The sooner we begin, the stronger your case can be. Call our Helena office at (870) 338-3100 or visit theknappfirm.com to schedule your free consultation. We will listen, explain your path forward, and handle the details so you can focus on recovery.
There is no upfront cost. We work on contingency, which means we only get paid if we recover compensation for you.
Seek medical attention, take photos if possible, collect contact information, and call a lawyer before speaking with insurance adjusters.
In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident to file a claim. Some exceptions apply, so contact us quickly.
You may be entitled to medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. Each case is evaluated individually.
Not always. Many cases settle through negotiation, but we prepare every case as if trial is possible.
We can explore uninsured motorist coverage and other legal options to help you pursue recovery.
You can, but insurance companies have teams protecting their interests. Having a lawyer helps level the playing field.
We review the evidence, injuries, and liability details during your free consultation and give you an honest assessment.
Arkansas uses comparative fault. You may still recover damages if you are less than 50 percent responsible.
Timelines vary. Some cases settle within months, while others take longer depending on complexity and injury severity.
It is common for symptoms to develop over time. Always document medical treatment and speak with an attorney early.
No. Once we represent you, we handle all communication with the insurer.
We can connect you with providers who treat on a lien basis, meaning payment is delayed until your case is resolved.
Yes. You have the right to switch attorneys if you feel your case is not being handled properly.
