How We Maximize Compensation for Fairbanks Clients
Recovering compensation isn’t just about filing a claim; it’s about building a compelling case that stands up to scrutiny. You need an advocate who looks beyond surface details to fully understand the impact of the injury on your life. To help you win a meaningful recovery, our approach includes:
- Thorough Case Evaluation. We meticulously investigate the circumstances of your injury to identify liable parties and gather evidence.
- Partnering with Experts. When appropriate, we collaborate with accident reconstructionists, medical professionals, and other specialists who can strengthen your case.
- Negotiating with Insurance Companies. Insurance adjusters are often focused on minimizing payouts. We negotiate on your behalf to pursue fair compensation.
- Trial Readiness. While many personal injury cases are resolved through settlement, our preparation ensures we are ready to proceed to trial if necessary.
Understanding Alaska’s Personal Injury Laws
Navigating Alaska’s legal framework can feel daunting after a life-changing injury. Below are some key elements of personal injury law in Alaska that may impact your case:
- Statute of Limitations. Alaska law generally allows two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline could result in your case being dismissed.
- Comparative Negligence. Alaska follows a pure comparative negligence rule, which means your compensation can be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are deemed 20% responsible, you can still recover 80% of the damages.
- Caps on Damages. Alaska law places specific limits, or "caps," on the amount of noneconomic damages that can be awarded in personal injury and wrongful death cases. Noneconomic damages compensate for injuries that are not financial in nature, covering losses like pain and suffering, disfigurement, loss of enjoyment of life, and similar harms.
Each case involves different circumstances, and understanding how these laws apply requires careful analysis.
