Selecting the Best Lawyers in Anchorage

by Kristen White Blogger
Between 2003 and 2012, 222 people were killed in drunk driving crashes in Alaska.  Although that is a horrific number, the amount of people admitting that they drive under the influence in Alaska is 1.2%, less than the 1.9% national average. 

That being said, Alaska is likely to be somewhat more dangerous because Sobriety checkpoints are not permitted.

So if you or a family member are hurt—or killed—by a drunk or any other driver, you should retain the Best Anchorage Lawyers to protect your rights.  They will be experienced in areas such as (i) aircraft accidents, (ii) automobile accidents, (iii) bicycle accidents, (iv) boating accidents, (v) defective products, (vi) dog bites, (vii) firearm accidents, (viii) life insurance denial, (ix) medical malpractice, (x) motorcycle accidents, (xi) nursing home negligence, (xii) snow machine and ATV accidents, (xiii) pedestrian accidents, (xiv) toxic exposure, (xv) train accidents, (xvi) truck accidents, (xvii) workers’ compensation and (xviii) wrongful death.  

These attorneys will also (i) require the signing of a retainer agreement so that both attorney and client know their rights , (ii) explain what damages are and are not recoverable, (iii) know and be able to explain when to settle and when to go to trial, (iv) complete a full investigation so that every detail is known, and (v) discuss with you how property damages can also be recovered.

The Best Anchorage Lawyers are also familiar with Alaska’s relevant laws, so that you learn about the typical two-year time limitation to commence your lawsuit, how to best complete the relevant forms to preserve your rights and all other factors relevant to the post-accident procedures in Alaska.  
Other important factors include:
1)a Court will limit any award you receive based on any amount it deems you are responsible for
2)claims for property damage have different procedures than those for personal injury
3)prosecuting a wrongful death claim differs from a regular personal injury case 

As such, in any personal injury incident, whether caused by a drunk driver or anyone else’s negligence, it is important to speak with experienced Anchorage lawyer before you speak with any representative of an insurance company.  Your failure to do so may reduce your chances at a positive outcome, no matter how strong it may be.
Not only does retaining the Best Anchorage Lawyers ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations, but it also serves to help build evidence to prosecute your case.  If you are involved in any such predicament, it is vital that you reach out immediately.
