Anchorage Wrongful Death Attorney

Recover the Compensation You Deserve

The loss of a loved one is always difficult to emotionally overcome, especially if it’s under sudden and tragic circumstances. If you have experienced the death of a family member due to the negligent actions of an individual, corporation, government entity, insurance company or health care provider, you may be entitled to recover financial compensation for your loss.

At the Law Offices of David Henderson, I am dedicated to helping grieving families obtain the justice they deserve. With over 20 years of experience in personal injury attorney, I am not afraid to go to court against powerful companies and government entities. I possess extensive knowledge of the state legal system and court proceedings related to your case.

Types of Wrongful Death Cases

A case may be established when one person’s death derives from a “wrongful act or omission of another.” In Alaska, a personal representative of the deceased person’s estate can seek monetary compensation on behalf of both the estate and individual survivors of the deceased person. The statute of limitations in Alaska requires the personal representative file a claim in the state’s civil court system within two years of the person’s death.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Alaska?

Recovered damages will first be paid to the decedent's spouse, followed by children and other dependents. If there is no surviving spouse or children, compensation is paid directly to the estate of the decedent.

Compensation for Victims of Wrongful Death

Wrongful death lawsuits are meant to give family members the opportunity to seek compensation on behalf of an individual who, had he or she survived, would have had grounds to file a personal injury lawsuit against a negligent party. In other words, to recover damages in a wrongful death case, it must be proven that your loved one's death was the result of the negligent actions of another person, company, or entity.
