One thing that an Alaska Injury Attorney must understand is the implication of the unique laws that apply to personal injury cases in our state. The Alaska personal injury lawyers at Barber & Associates have been working for many years with clients from Anchorage and other parts of the state to ensure that their rights are protected under state law and that they receive the maximum amount of compensation available for their injuries.
When evaluating a personal injury case to determine the proper amount of compensation to which the victim is entitled, it is important that an attorney look at several factors:
- The age of the victim. Many insurance companies try to base compensation on the victim’s age, so it is critical that an attorney understands how this impacts a case’s value.
- The physical injuries sustained. If a case involves extreme physical injury, it is sometimes easier to value than if the case involves “invisible” injuries such as whiplash. In those cases, pain, suffering and medical expenses becomes even more important to value properly.
- The conditions of the accident. Insurance companies will often try to “blame the victim” by saying that he or she contributed to the accident. If an insurance company tries to deny compensation based on this, it is important for an attorney to understand how to counter these allegations and maximize the amount of compensation due to the victim.
Not every Anchorage personal injury attorney has the experience to handle these types of cases successfully.
