Our team brings more than 90 years of combined legal experience to every case we handle.

Yes. There is no charge for your first visit or telephone call. All your questions will be answered, and there is no obligation. We believe everyone who has been injured through someone else’s negligence deserves the opportunity to understand their legal options without financial barriers.

Your first priority is your health and safety. Seek medical attention promptly, even if you feel fine initially, because some injuries take time to become apparent. Follow all medical advice and attend follow-up appointments as recommended. Keep detailed records of everything related to your accident, including medical bills, receipts for expenses, and notes about how your injuries affect your daily life. Obtain a copy of any police report filed in connection with the incident. Above all, bring all of this information to our law firm so we can evaluate your situation and help protect your rights.

Alaska follows a pure comparative fault rule under Alaska Statute § 09.17.060. This means that contributory fault chargeable to the claimant reduces the amount awarded as compensatory damages proportionately but does not bar recovery. In practical terms, even if you are partially at fault, you recover less by the percentage of your fault, but you may still recover.

My Crowson Case is a proprietary client access portal that allows you to view all of your file materials and case management notes in real time. At this time, Crowson Law Group is the only personal injury firm in Anchorage, or anywhere in Alaska, that offers clients this level of online access to their files. This transparency keeps you informed about the progress of your case without having to call or email for updates. We believe our clients have a right to see exactly what is happening with their legal matters at any time.

The timeline for resolving a personal injury case varies depending on several factors, including the complexity of the accident, the severity of your injuries, the amount of medical treatment required, and whether the case settles or proceeds to litigation. Cases involving straightforward liability and well-documented injuries often resolve more quickly than those requiring extensive investigation or where fault is disputed. Under Alaska Statute § 09.10.070(a), you have two years to file your personal injury case in court, and the clock usually begins on the date you are injured. Our team works diligently to move your case forward while still pursuing a fair outcome.

We never charge a fee unless we obtain a recovery for you. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery, which means we only get paid when you do. We also advance all costs for investigators, filing fees, and other expenses associated with building your case. If a recovery is not made, you pay nothing. Our contingency fee is the industry-standard 33% before litigation. Additionally, we do not charge any fee for helping you settle your claim for damage to your vehicle.

Attorney James Crowson began his legal career defending insurance companies and health care providers against negligence claims. This experience provides valuable insight into how the other side approaches these cases, what evidence they look for, and what strategies they use to minimize payouts. Our firm uses this knowledge to build stronger cases on behalf of our clients. Understanding how insurers evaluate claims and what arguments their attorneys typically raise allows us to anticipate challenges and prepare accordingly.

Alaska law recognizes two main categories of damages in personal injury cases. Economic damages cover quantifiable financial losses such as medical expenses, lost wages, future medical care, and other out-of-pocket costs that are directly tied to your injury. Non-economic damages compensate for losses that are harder to measure, including pain and suffering, physical impairment, disfigurement, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of consortium. In certain cases involving particularly reckless or outrageous conduct, punitive damages may also be available. The specific damages you may pursue depend on the facts of your case and the extent of your injuries.
