How Alaska law treats scald burns

Statutory research reviewed 2026-08-14. Not legal advice.

Shared fault
Alaska follows pure comparative negligence: damages are reduced by the injured person's share of fault but are never barred by it.
Alaska Stat. § 09.17.060
Damage caps
Alaska is unusual in capping non-economic damages in ordinary injury cases, not just malpractice: the greater of $400,000 or the person's life expectancy in years multiplied by $8,000, rising to the greater of $1,000,000 or life expectancy multiplied by $25,000 for severe permanent physical impairment or disfigurement — a threshold serious burn injuries frequently meet.
Alaska Stat. § 09.17.010(b)-(c)

Directory coverage for Alaska is expanding

We don’t have listings here yet — coverage grows state by state rather than all at once. Burn and fire cases are routinely handled across state lines, so attorneys listed elsewhere in the region may still be able to help.
