Alaska personal injury law claims can not heal the wounds left by a negligent individual. However, it will help you continue your life in a positive direction following a tragic injury or loss.

What Is A Personal Injury Lawyer’s Goal?

Lawyers arguing personal injury cases to juries often talk about costs. Costs frequently include medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Some costs, such as medical bills, are easy to calculate. Other costs, such as future medical bills and pain and suffering, are more difficult to quantify. The idea behind personal injury claims is to make the person suffering loss as close to “whole” as possible.  This means ensuring the injured party receives a settlement covering all losses (medical, pain, lost wages) before their insurance company gets reimbursed.

In other words, Alaska personal injury law attorneys want to make certain their client’s financial recovery gives them what they need to continue living without crushing monetary burdens.

Alaska Personal Injury Law And Social Accountability

Many people hesitate to file a lawsuit. Particularly in Alaska, where we pride ourselves on hard work and personal responsibility. Alaskans often express reluctance to sue another person. It is important, however, to consider social accountability. Personal injury claims help ensure other families do not suffer from the same negligence. 

If a person has injuries due to sloppy work practices, such as improperly installed scaffolding collapsing on a passerby, a personal injury lawsuit forces the construction company to examine its employees’ work habits closer. If a person dies in a hospital due to improper sterilization of hospital instruments, a personal injury claim guides the hospital to investigating practices toward better equipment sterilization. These changes help prevent others from suffering in the future.

Personal injury lawsuits cost companies a lot of money. Lawsuits motivate companies to change when their behavior results in injuries or death. This leads to changes in personnel, changes in training, or changes in work practices. Sometimes, personal injury suits lead to changes in an entire industry. Lawsuits help in a removing unsafe products from the market.

When The Unthinkable Happens
