Alaska Car Accident Attorneys
Alaska Car Accident Lawyers
An auto accident changes your life in an instant.
The accident can cause devastating injuries that leave you overwhelmed, confused, and frustrated. The injuries affect every aspect of your life. You may not be able to go back to work until you heal, which means missed paychecks and less money to pay your bills. You may have expensive medical bills from doctor’s visits, prescription medication, physical therapy, or even surgery that you can’t pay.
On top of the financial difficulties, injuries severely impact your personal life. You may not be able to spend time with family or friends, you may not be able to participate in your favorite hobbies, and you may experience pain just going about your daily chores.
If you’ve been injured or lost a loved one in a car or automobile accident, you deserve justice for your suffering. Contact us today to get a free consultation.
How Long After an Accident Do I Have to File a Claim?
Generally speaking, the Alaska statute of limitations for personal injury is two years. That may be subject to modification depending upon the age of the person injured. If you are a minor, you can have an extension of that statute of limitations until essentially the minor child reaches the age of 20.
Don’t Wait to Contact an Attorney
No one should wait until that very last moment that any statute of limitations might expire. It is important to understand what the statute of limitations is because if you don’t comply with it, your valid claim is deemed legally stale and it would be dismissed as in violation of the statute of limitations.
There is case law in Alaska, however, that if a minor is injured and their parent is also injured in the same incident, that the minor child statute of limitation may also be restricted to two years because the parent of that minor was also injured in the same incident.
The sooner an attorney is contacted and a claim is filed, the easier it will be to pursue that claim. Evidence will be easier to obtain, and there is a much better chance you will get a fair result and full compensation.
