Supreme Court of Arkansas

James K. Meador v. Total Compliance Consultants, Inc., and Bill Medley

January 31, 20132013 Ark. LEXIS 37

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of Meador’s personal-injury complaint after the jury found that he was a third-party beneficiary but that Total Compliance Consultants was neither negligent nor in breach of contract. The court held that Meador failed to preserve his constitutional challenge to the nonparty-fault argument, failed to demonstrate an abuse of discretion regarding the evidence, and lacked standing to challenge the comparative-fault statute because the statute was not applied to him.
