Alaska Brain Injury Lawyer


Brain injuries are not always the easiest type of injury to assess. Since the brain is such a complex organ, and since injuries to it can affect many different aspects of bodily function, from motor skills and coordination to cognitive processes, it may be hard to determine whether an accident has caused a brain injury or not. This is one of the many reasons that brain injuries are so devastating to both the victim and their families.

Brain injury may occur as soon as the head hits a hard surface or is otherwise impacted. In some cases, traumatic brain injury is detected well after the accident or impact occurs, and swelling or bleeding into and around the brain may have already taken place. Brain injuries are typically classified as mild, moderate or severe, and the effects can be short-term, lifelong, or fatal. Some other symptoms of a brain injury include memory loss, attentional issues, balance problems, difficulties with migraines, smelling, seeing or hearing and seizure disorders.


If your brain injury was due to the negligence or breach of duty of a doctor, employer or any other individual or entity, you may be able to file a lawsuit in order to recover damages.

If you have suffered a moderate or severe brain injury, you will also want to consult with an attorney, especially if the injury may have been due to the negligence of another person or entity. Even if you have suffered only a minor brain injury, it might be worth your while to contact an attorney. In some cases, the full extent of the victim\'s incapacitation, or the life-altering effect it has, may not even be understood until years after the initial trauma.

Please do not wait to contact a brain injury lawyer or attorney, as the statute of limitations to file a claim in the state of Alaska is two years. Procrastinating could be costly for you and it could hinder your case.
