Alaska Personal Injury Lawyers

We serve clients in Palmer, Wasilla, the Mat-Su Valley and throughout Alaska. Our goal is to provide access to experienced Alaska personal injury lawyers without requiring travel to a large metropolitan office.

Personal Injury Law in Alaska

Personal injury claims in Alaska frequently involve questions about fault, insurance coverage and jurisdiction. State law can help to determine liability, how damages are evaluated and how long an injured person has to take legal action. Common personal injuries in Alaska include:

  • Car accidents
  • Commercial vehicle accidents
  • Dog bites
  • Maritime accidents
  • Slip and fall
 

At The Carlson Law Firm our Alaska personal injury lawyers help clients with cases involving serious injuries. These cases include those caused by negligence, unsafe property conditions, animal attacks and maritime accidents. Each case is different, and outcomes depend on the facts and applicable laws of your situation.

Types of Cases We Handle in Alaska

Car Accidents

One of the leading causes of injury is car accidents in Alaska, especially in areas with snow, ice, reduced visibility and wildlife crossings. Our team helps drivers and passengers understand insurance issues, including uninsured and underinsured motorist (UM/UIM coverage). We can also explain your legal options after a crash.

Commercial Vehicle Accidents

Commercial accidents frequently involve multi-vehicle collisions and multiple parties, including contractors, employers or insurance carriers. These cases can be more complex than standard car accidents. Our team can help identify all liable parties and pursue possible legal options.

Dog Bite Injuries

Dog bite injuries can be serious and emotional, especially when children are involved. Alaska does not follow automatic strict liability in dog bite cases. A personal injury lawyer can help you understand negligence and owner responsibility.

Maritime Accidents

Alaska has extensive coastline and relies on maritime industries, which can present unique legal challenges with boating and maritime accidents. Some cases can involve federal maritime law or the Jones Act, depending on the circumstances.

Serving Palmer, Wasilla, and the Mat-Su Valley

Our virtual office presence in Palmer allows us to better serve clients in the Mat-Su Valley, including Wasilla and surrounding communities. We understand the local conditions that can contribute to serious accidents, from winter driving hazards and recreational boating risks to commercial transportation routes.

We assist clients throughout Alaska who need skilled legal guidance but may have difficulty with access.

Where Compassion Meets Injury Law

At The Carlson Law Firm, we believe in understanding the person behind the case for effective legal representation. We know accidents and legal disputes can have lasting emotional, physical and financial effects, especially in a state as geographically and environmentally challenging as Alaska.

Our personal injury lawyers help clients understand their options according to Alaska law and advocate on their behalf while answering questions honestly. We prepare and communicate to respect every client’s situation, though no outcome is guaranteed.

Our managing partner, Craig Carlson, retired from the U.S. Army, and many members of our legal team have also served. That shared experience informs how we approach our work and advocate for clients connected to Alaska’s military community.

One of our guiding principles is to help improve the quality of life for veterans and their families through responsible legal advocacy. Our goal is to provide compassionate service rooted in respect, discipline and integrity.

What to Expect When You Contact Our Firm

Choosing a lawyer for your case is one of the most important decisions you will make. The Carlson Law Firm is a compassionate personal injury law firm that brings decades of experience to your case. We can make a difference in your case for many reasons, including:

  • We have recovered millions of dollars for our clients
  • We are trial attorneys with courtroom experience and the ability to negotiate
  • Proven customer service
  • Clear explanations of potential legal options
 

In most personal injury cases, consultations are offered at no upfront cost. Fee arrangements depend on the type of case and are explained before representation begins.

Our Legal Process

Every personal injury case is different, but most follow a similar process. Our attorneys focus on careful preparation, clear communication, and ethical advocacy at every stage.

Step 1. Investigation

The first step in a personal injury case is gathering information and evidence related to the incident and resulting injuries. This may include reviewing documentation relevant to claim, such as reviewing:

  • Accident reports
  • Photographs
  • Insurance information
  • Medical records
 

Our Alaska personal injury lawyers understand the unique factors of the area, like remote accident locations and harsh weather.

Step 2. Negotiation

Once sufficient information has been collected, our attorneys may begin discussions with the appropriate insurance companies or opposing parties. These negotiations are intended to evaluate liability and damages based on the facts of the case.

Not every claim resolves through negotiation, and outcomes depend on the evidence and applicable law.

Step 3. Litigation

If a resolution cannot be reached through negotiation, litigation may be necessary. The Carlson Law Firm has lawyers with courtroom experience that understand how to prepare a case  for court and present arguments in accordance with procedural and evidentiary rules.

Can a Personal Injury Lawyer Handle a Wrongful Death Claim?

Yes. Personal injury attorneys may also represent families in wrongful death claims when a fatality is caused by another party’s negligence or wrongful conduct. These claims usually involve questions about liability, damages and who may bring the claim under Alaska law.

Our attorneys understand the emotional and legal complexities that can come with wrongful death cases. We approach these matters with care and respect to help families understand their legal options during a difficult time.
