Holding Drivers Accountable

Accidents caused by motorists who are not insured or do not have enough insurance is a problem faced by too many Alaskan victims. Consequently, the injured party must turn to their own insurance for coverage or to sue the at-fault party. As a victim, it is your right to know whether or not the other party has insurance, so you can file a claim.
