Home Insurance in Arkansas

From Dixie Alley tornadoes and Ozark hailstorms to New Madrid Seismic Zone exposure in the Delta, VKOVR builds Arkansas insurance around the perils that actually drive claims — and the ~16% uninsured-driver rate that makes UM/UIM coverage essential.

Home Insurance Requirements in Arkansas

Arkansas requires minimum auto liability of 25/50/25: $25,000 per person for bodily injury, $50,000 per accident, and $25,000 for property damage. Arkansas is a modified-comparative-negligence state with a 50% bar — a driver found more than 50% at fault recovers nothing. With a roughly 1-in-6 uninsured-driver rate, UM/UIM coverage is strongly recommended. Standard homeowners insurance in Arkansas covers wind, hail, and tornado damage but excludes both flood (NFIP or private flood along the Arkansas, White, and Mississippi rivers and across the Delta) and earthquake (a separate rider — most important in NE Arkansas within the New Madrid Seismic Zone). Arkansas employers with three or more regular employees must carry workers' compensation insurance through the Arkansas Workers' Compensation Commission (AWCC). Construction-industry employers must carry coverage regardless of size. Poultry, agriculture, and trucking-heavy businesses often need specialized commercial coverage beyond the state floor.

Home Insurance in Arkansas – FAQ

Standard homeowners insurance (HO-3) covers your dwelling (structure), other structures on the property (fences, detached garages), personal property, liability for injuries that occur on your property, and additional living expenses if your home is uninhabitable after a covered loss. It does not automatically cover floods or earthquakes — those require separate policies.
