Frequently Asked Questions About Civil Lawsuits In Alaska
As civil litigators, we answer lots of questions for people who are considering filing lawsuits. Here are general answers to some common ones.
What does the civil litigation process look like?
The civil litigation process in Alaska begins with filing a lawsuit, where the plaintiff (the person complaining) outlines their claims against the defendant (the other party). Following this, the discovery phase allows both sides to gather evidence and information. Pretrial motions and negotiations may occur before the case either settles or goes to trial. Throughout this process, our attorneys will provide steadfast support and counsel.
What does it mean to file a complaint in court?
Filing a complaint in court is the formal act of initiating a civil lawsuit. The complaint documents the plaintiff’s grievances and the legal basis for the lawsuit, seeking relief or damages from the defendant. This document is critical as it sets the stage for the lawsuit and outlines the issues at stake.
How long does the defendant have to file an answer to your complaint?
In Alaska, the defendant has 20 days from the date of service to file an answer to the complaint. This answer must address each issue raised in the complaint, either admitting, denying, or claiming insufficient knowledge to admit or deny each allegation.
