Statute of Limitations
Alaska has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims with the discovery rule applicable to toxic exposure.
2 years from discovery of injury and PFAS connection
Where to File in Alaska
Alaska personal injury claims are governed by AS 09.10.070, providing a 2-year limitations period. Federal PFAS claims proceed in MDL 2873 (D.S.C.). Given the extreme contamination levels at Eielson AFB, the delayed discovery doctrine is particularly important for Fairbanks-area claimants whose diagnoses predate DoD public disclosure of Eielson contamination data (first disclosed publicly 2018–2019). Fort Richardson and Elmendorf AFB in the Anchorage area are also confirmed contamination sites.
