Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Anchorage
Helping Victims Recover Compensation
A special relationship exists between physicians and their patients. Physicians owe their patients a duty to provide a certain standard of care, using at least the level of skill, care, and diligence that is generally exercised by fellow practitioners in the medical profession. It is considered medical malpractice when a medical professional breaches that duty through negligence or carelessness and causes injury or death to a patient. Medical malpractice victims may recover compensation for their injuries, including for past and future medical expenses, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and lost income.

What Is the Statute of Limitations for Medical Malpractice in Alaska?
If you are a victim of medical malpractice, it is critical that you act quickly. In Alaska, there is a two-year statute of limitations for filing medical malpractice claims. That means that from the time you discover your injury or illness caused by medical malpractice, you have two years to file your claim. Furthermore, investigating your malpractice claim as soon as possible makes preserving crucial evidence and valuable testimony much easier.
