Alaska Brain Injury
Lawyer

An Alaska brain injury lawyer generally must file a personal injury lawsuit within two years of the event. Be sure to get the correct details from one of the attorneys listed below about how Alaska's statue of limitations will affect you personally.

Both family members and the brain injury victim, if possible, should keep a daily journal about how life has changed since the injury. In most instances, a jury will not be able to see a brain injury and must rely on testimony about how it has changed lives.

Merdes & Merdes, Alaskan trial attorneys, is certified as Civil Litigation Specialists by the National Board of Trial Advocacy. Ward Merdes received an MBA from Cornell University and is the Alaskan state representative to the Association of Trial Lawyers of America. Their office is located in Fairbanks.

Dillon & Findley law offices are located in Juneau and Anchorage. Paul Dillon is a founding member of the firm and works out of the Juneau office. He received his juris doctorate from Fordham University prior to moving to Alaska.

Beard, Stacey, Trueb and Jacobsen are known as maritime brain injury lawyers. Maritime lawyers help injured fishermen, tug boat workers, and other seamen recover money damages for brain injuries that occur at sea. (And to think, with all the research Beth and I have done on brain injury, maritime brain injury is new to us.)

Of course, we should have known. One of our favorites TV shows is about Alaskan crab fishermen, and we've seen what the rough and tough Bering Sea does to those guys. It just makes sense that brain injuries could easily occur out there.

Anoxic brain injury, I imagine, would especially be prevalent in near-drowning accidents. The U.S. Coast Guard does a marvelous job performing rescues in those high seas with very little time to spare because of the frigid waters.

Those of you who know much about Beth's anoxic brain injury know that hers was caused by a lack of oxygen following surgery.

The Beard, Stacey, Trueb and Jacobsen Alaskan law office is located in Anchorage. They also have an office in Seattle.
