ALASKA MEDICAL MALPRACTICE ATTORNEY

Limitation considerations are complex legal matters and advice should always be taken from a specialist Alaska medical malpractice attorney. The limitation period for bringing an action for personal injury or death is two years in Alaska. If the claimant is under the age of majority or incompetent by reason of mental illness or disability at the time the cause of action accrues the statute begins to run when the disability is lifted, but this cannot extend the period for more than two years after the disability ceases. An action for wrongful death must be brought within two years after death and a reasonable failure to discover an essential element of the cause of action tolls the running of the two-year wrongful death limitation period.

If you are the innocent victim of a medical mistake then you may be able to recover compensation.
