Have you been injured in an accident? Maybe a reckless or distracted driver caused a motor vehicle accident, or maybe you tripped over an obstruction on a sidewalk because it was carelessly hidden in the un-shoveled snow. Regardless of how you were injured, if another party is responsible for your injury, you may be entitled to receive compensation under Alaska’s personal injury laws.

We take cases on a contingency fee basis based upon a percentage of the total recovery. This means if there is no monetary recovery, you owe us nothing for our services.

Legal fees for most personal injury cases are paid upon a “contingency” percentage basis. Fees are calculated as a percentage of the total recovery of damages. They are “contingent” because if there is no recovery of damages, then your fee is zero.

A lawyer who tells you how much your case is worth before even working on the case is probably making a promise that can’t be kept.
