the record

Named cases, real numbers, with the year attached.

$1,617,000 jury verdict
$2,158,000 settled before judgment
A.D. v. Wassillie did not settle before trial, so Jason tried it to a jury. After the verdict came in, it settled for $541,000 more.

A wrongful death case tried all the way to a jury verdict.

The jury said $1,617,000. Before judgment was entered, it settled for $2,158,000.

The injuries were worth more than the policy, so the settlement took the policy to its limit.

Suit filed, worked up for trial, resolved before it got there.

A wrongful death case against the State of Alaska, tried to a jury.

A pedestrian was struck. It settled before trial.

Each case is different.

what he takes

Serious injury and wrongful death. That is the whole practice.

Also small aircraft, oil field, and North Slope cases.

one case

The family did not want a check.

Kellsie Green died in an Anchorage jail cell in 2016, five days after she was booked, in heroin withdrawal. Her family wanted the State of Alaska to put its name to what it had done. It did: a wrongful death judgment against the Department of Corrections for $400,000, the most the law allows, and the first Alaska has entered without a trial.

The driver who hits you might be carrying $50,000. Or nothing.

UM/UIM is the part of your own policy that pays when theirs runs out. Alaska's minimum bodily injury coverage is $50,000 per person, and a lot of drivers carry exactly that.

Drag to see what a higher limit buys.

a serious loss: $750,000

Past the serious-loss line, from your own policy, even if the other driver bought nothing.

Why don't you have it? Because nobody told you.

Their words, not ours.

He is honest and makes sure you understand exactly what is going on and he also genuinely felt our pain.
Erin Pharr
He is a great attorney and made sure I understood everything I needed to in order to make the very best decisions for me and my family.
Albert Tomas
My accident was horrible and having someone deny that they hurt you is the worst feeling in the world.

what happens when you call

Three steps, and the first one costs nothing.

01

Call. It is free.

Phones are answered around the clock, including at two in the morning.

02

Jason screens it himself.

He looks at the crash, the injuries, and what insurance can pay.

03

No fee unless we win.

The fee comes out of the recovery. No recovery, no fee.

The next 48 hours.

Do these now, whether or not you ever call this office.

Straight answers.

What does it cost to talk to Jason?

Nothing. The call is free. If Jason takes your case, the fee comes out of the recovery. If there is no recovery, there is no fee.

Do I have a case?

Two things matter most at the start. Were you seriously hurt, and did you see a doctor right away. If it is not a case, Jason will say so.

How long do I have to bring a claim?

Less time than you think. In Alaska the deadline to file can be as short as two years from the date of the injury.

Evidence disappears long before the deadline does.

How much is my case worth?

Nobody honest can tell you on day one. It depends on how badly you were hurt, what the records show, and how much coverage is available to pay.

How long will it take?

It depends on your injuries and on whether the insurer pays what the claim is worth. Once a case is filed, the court's calendar sets the pace.

Will my case go to trial?

Most cases settle. But insurers set their number by whether your lawyer will really try the case. That is why the record above lists verdicts, not just settlements.
