Badger is beautiful but not without its risks. The area's cold climate, especially during harsh winters, contributes to hazardous conditions that can lead to traffic accidents and slips on poorly maintained walkways. Additionally, the borough's industries, including tourism and transportation, introduce risks. Snowmobile accidents, injuries at ski slopes, and even airplane crashes are not uncommon.

Alaska’s Comparative Negligence Laws and How It Affects Personal Injury Cases
Alaska follows a “pure comparative negligence” system, which means your compensation can be reduced based on your percentage of fault in the accident. For example, if you’re found to be 20% at fault, your compensation will be reduced by that same percentage. Under Alaska law, you can still recover damages even if you are more than 50% at fault.
Understanding this legal framework is critical when building your case. We work diligently to minimize claims of fault against you by gathering compelling evidence and presenting a clear picture of the negligence that caused the accident. This approach allows us to advocate effectively on your behalf, helping you secure the maximum compensation for your injuries.
Navigating Insurance Claims After an Accident
Dealing with insurance companies can be a frustrating and drawn-out process. Adjusters may attempt to deny claims, delay proceedings, or offer settlements that don't align with the true value of your damages. Here are a few key tips for handling insurance claims:
- Provide accurate information but avoid giving statements that could be misconstrued as admitting fault.
- Keep detailed records of all communication with insurance representatives and related paperwork.
- Never accept an initial settlement offer without consulting your attorney, as these offers are often much lower than you deserve.
By working with us, you’ll have professionals negotiating directly with insurance adjusters on your behalf, ensuring your claim is handled efficiently and fairly.
Your recovery is our priority. Contact us online or call (907) 891-7201 to schedule your free consultation and discuss your case with our knowledgeable legal team.
