01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Alaska?
Alaska has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury from truck accidents (AS 09.10.070). Alaska follows pure comparative negligence — you can recover even if partially at fault. Claims involving the State of Alaska DOT or municipal trucks require written notice within 180 days under the Alaska Tort Claims Act (AS 09.50.250). 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's remote highways — particularly the Alaska Highway and Dalton Highway serving the North Slope oil fields — carry heavy commercial truck traffic under extreme conditions: ice, permafrost, moose on roadways, and limited emergency services. Alaska follows pure comparative negligence, allowing recovery reduced by fault percentage.
