It is my honor to represent injured Alaskans to recover compensation for injuries inflicted by a negligent party. Many of my clients suffer permanent disabling and painful injuries. No one understands the impact that chronic pain or other disabling injuries imposes upon an injured person. Even the people closest to the injured person are unable to understand what that person truly suffers.
Fortunately the medical field has advanced enough in the past few decades to offer some relief to chronic pain patients but at a great financial expense. When I prosecute a claim on the behalf of a seriously injured person, the goal is to obtain money to compensate for lost wages, medical bills, life care costs, and pain and suffering.
There is often a side-benefit that results from the claim: The negligent party becomes responsible for his or her behavior. Whether it is a hospital, the State of Alaska or a police department, the defendant is made aware of the breakdown in its systems which resulted in injury to my client. It is comforting to myself and to my clients that our efforts have led to the defendant's adoption of different policies, better screening of employees and increased training which will prevent other people from being injured in the future.
