Protect Your Rights After an Accident and Injury in Alaska

Police Misconduct

While most law enforcement officers are committed professionals who behave ethically and responsibly when interacting with the public, there are some who cause severe harm through deliberate misconduct. If you’ve suffered serious injuries or have lost a loved one due to the negligence of law enforcement, our police misconduct attorney can help.

Anchorage attorney Ben Crittenden advocates for the rights of Alaska residents who’ve been victims of excessive force, false arrest, illegal search and seizure, sexual abuse, jail neglect, or other forms of police misconduct. Contact our office today to learn more about how we may be able to help you hold law enforcement accountable for their actions while implementing changes that can help deter further cases of police misconduct.

Dog Bite & Dog Attack

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that there are approximately 4.5 million dog bites in the United States each year, with 800,000 of those bites resulting in a need for medical care. If you or your child has been injured by a dangerous dog, contacting an experienced dog bite and dog attack attorney is crucial.

The Law Office of Ben Crittenden represents Alaska residents who have been injured by dangerous dogs. We help clients file personal injury claims seeking compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and all other accident-related damages.

Personal Injury

When a person climbs behind the wheel of a car, takes the controls of a helicopter or plane, or even simply takes his dog for a walk, he has a responsibility to act safely. If he fails in that duty, serious injuries can result, and the law affords injury victims certain rights to protect themselves and their families. Though it can be difficult to consider pursuing a legal case that can be complex and overwhelming, it is often necessary to ensure that victims can obtain the medical care they need and the compensation they deserve.

Anchorage attorney Ben Crittenden understands what a trying time this can be, and he is here to offer Alaskans a partner who will help their voices be heard. Ben is a client-focused lawyer who builds strong professional relationships outside the courtroom and fights relentlessly to protect victims’ rights inside the courtroom.

Workers’ Compensation

The Alaskan economy is powered by both rich environmental resources and hard-working Alaskans. Our state attracts many visitors wishing to experience the landscape, and it provides the U.S. with significant energy and agricultural products. Unfortunately, this is not without risks. Often, workers are injured or become ill because of the demands of their jobs. From falls to hazardous-substance exposure, employees can find themselves forced to miss work while they deal with the physical, emotional, and financial stress of a variety of injuries and illnesses.

At those times, Alaska’s workers need an informed and confident advocate by their side, helping to ensure they are able to obtain the care and compensation they need to recover as fully as possible. Attorney Ben Crittenden represents those workers all over the state and ensures that their rights are protected in the workers’ compensation system. If you or someone you love has suffered a work-related injury, contact Ben’s Anchorage office today to learn more about workers’ compensation, your rights, and how Ben may be able to help.
