01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Alaska?
Alaska has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims under AS 09.10.070. The discovery rule applies to toxic exposure cases, starting when the plaintiff discovers or reasonably should have discovered the injury and its connection to PFAS exposure. A lawyer can confirm yours.
Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
Alaska has some of the worst AFFF contamination in the nation. Eielson Air Force Base near Fairbanks recorded PFOS levels of 334,200 parts per trillion in groundwater — among the highest ever documented at any U.S. military installation. Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage is also a confirmed contamination site.
