Alaska Accidents

A step-by-step look at what usually happens after a rainy Juneau crash when the other side has dashcam video and keeps refusing to hand it over.

A parking lot crash in Kodiak can turn into a fast evidence fight if the vehicle belongs to a company and its onboard data is about to be overwritten.

A bad motorcycle wreck on loose road gravel can turn into a blame game fast, and the public agency on the other side may start working your case before you can even get through your appointments.

A dooring crash in Fairbanks can turn into a brutal comparative-fault fight if you miss the wrong step, especially when you're scared your status will get dragged into it.

A National Guard member hurt during civilian work at a dark Wasilla traffic light may still have a strong claim even if the other driver is sitting on dashcam footage.

An Anchorage commuter gets hit by a drifting 18-wheeler, the trucking policy is nowhere near enough, and now the real panic is whether Alaska's deadlines and notice rules are about to wreck the rest of the claim.

A parent in Soldotna gets told their child's injury claim is worth less because care was delayed, missed, or interrupted after a crosswalk crash.

When a crash injury in Fairbanks looks minor at first and turns serious later, the legal clock in Alaska may start when you discovered the real injury, not on the crash date - and insurer silence changes nothing.

A Fairbanks lawyer on a work commute can have a workers' comp claim, a liability claim, and a serious uninsured-employer problem all at once after being hit by a fleeing driver.

A social worker in Kenai got hurt when a vehicle crashed through a construction zone barrier, kept working instead of going to the ER, and now the insurer is using that delay against her.

If you wreck a dealer car on a test drive in Alaska, the fight usually turns on whose insurance applies first, whether you were negligent, and what you signed before they handed over the keys.
