Alaska Personal Injury Laws
Alaska uses pure comparative fault, allowing recovery regardless of your percentage of fault, though damages are reduced proportionally. The statute of limitations is 2 years.
How Alaska's Fault System Affects Your Settlement
Alaska's pure comparative fault system is favorable to injured parties. Even if you are found to be 90% at fault, you can still recover 10% of your damages. However, your settlement will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies will aggressively try to assign you a higher percentage of fault to reduce their payout.
