Services
Personal Injury
We represent clients injured through others' negligence in cases involving car accidents, slip-and-falls, and oil field incidents. Our Alaska-focused practice handles medical expense recovery, lost wage compensation, and pain-and-suffering damages. With deep knowledge of state-specific laws like pure comparative negligence, we negotiate with insurers and litigate when necessary to secure fair settlements for physical, emotional, and financial losses.
Wrongful Death
Our firm advocates for families who've lost loved ones due to preventable accidents. We handle claims arising from vehicle collisions, aviation disasters, and premises liability cases. We recover funeral costs, lost income, and non-economic damages while navigating Alaska's requirement for estate representatives to file claims. Our approach combines compassionate support with aggressive litigation to hold responsible parties accountable.
Aviation Accidents
Specializing in Alaska's unique aviation landscape, we litigate commercial and private plane crash cases. Our expertise covers pilot error, maintenance failures, and air traffic control negligence. We collaborate with technical experts to establish liability while managing complex federal regulations. Clients receive dedicated representation for catastrophic injuries and wrongful death claims arising from Alaska's high-risk aviation environment.
Car Accidents
We handle all aspects of motor vehicle accident claims, including liability determination, insurance negotiations, and trial representation. Our experience spans Anchorage's traffic patterns and Alaska's remote roadways. We recover compensation for medical treatment, vehicle damage, and long-term disability while addressing state-specific challenges like limited insurance coverage and comparative fault determinations in jury awards.
Dog Bites
Our practice addresses Alaska's 'one-bite rule' and premises liability laws for dog attack victims. We secure compensation for medical treatment, psychological trauma, and scarring while countering defenses like trespassing claims. We evaluate property owner liability alongside dog owner responsibility, focusing on child victims and situations involving implied invitations onto properties.
