Personal Injury
As skilled and experienced personal injury attorney, Greg Parvin fully understands just how overwhelming and life-changing an unexpected accident or injury can be for victims and their family members. Whether you have been involved in an auto accident, or have suffered serious losses in a slip and fall accident, or know a loved one who has suffered major injuries due to negligence, assault or a dog attack, we are ready to help you pursue the financial compensation you need to recover and move on with your life.
In law, harm that comes to you as a result of someone else’s negligence is known as personal injury. This means that if another person does not behave as a normally responsible person would in the same circumstances, he or she is violating the “duty of care” that we all owe one another. Personal injury may involve taking a reckless action, such as driving while impaired, or not taking necessary action, like failing to repair a broken bannister. In either of the examples mentioned, a skilled personal injury attorney like Greg Parvin may be able to win the victim significant monetary damages to compensate for losses.
If you or someone you love has suffered a serious personal injury, it is a traumatic event for the whole family. In addition to the physical pain and fear that complete recovery may not be possible, most people experience the financial stress that results from high medical costs and lost income. This is why this situation requires not only excellent medical care but first-rate legal representation. Greg has two
decades of experience and a track record of success in winning substantial damages for personal injury clients.
Best of all, we will charge you absolutely no attorneys’ fees until we win you the damages you deserve.
We are proud to represent clients in the Mat-Su Valley and any other part of Alaska. If you are having a tough time negotiating with insurance adjusters, we are here to help. We understand the insurance claims process and know how to negotiate with insurance companies.
If you've been injured in any type of accident, please contact us right away.
CAR ACCIDENT
After a motor vehicle accident, you may face increasing medical bills as well as an uncertain recovery for injuries you are aware of now or that may develop from the accident in the future. Greg will work hard to get you the compensation you need to restore your life. It is true that insurance companies – including your own – are not always thinking of your best interests. Almost everyone either owns a car or travels in one on a daily basis. We live in a very car-centered society and, unfortunately, that means car accidents are incredibly common. From simple fender benders to head on collisions, thousands of car accidents occur in the U.S. every single day. When deciding whether or not to hire an attorney, there are several things to consider. Do you know how to get the largest settlement possible from insurance companies? Do you have the time to fight a legal battle on your own if the insurance refuses to pay what you deserve? Do you have the financial resources to fight a large insurance company in court?
If the answer to any one of these questions is no, you should seriously consider working with The Law Office of Gregory Parvin. Even if you are without insurance, and are in an accident, a car accident lawyer may be able to help. Click HERE to arrange a FREE consult about your case.
BICYCLE
Under Alaska law, bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as people who drive motor vehicles. Unfortunately, many motorists fail to yield to cyclists, causing accidents and often serious injuries. Greg has extensive knowledge and experience in handling bicyclists’ personal injury and insurance claims to ensure that his clients get the compensation they need when these types of accidents occur.
PEDESTRIAN
Alaska has one of the highest pedestrian fatality rates in the United States. Pedestrians have the right-of-way when crossing a street within a crosswalk; however, this does not mean that a pedestrian cannot be considered at fault. If you have been injured in a pedestrian accident, Greg will evaluate your case and can assist you with seeking compensation for your injuries which may include medical expenses and lost wages.
WRONGFUL DEATH
The wrongful death of a loved one can be devastating to a family both emotionally and financially. Alaska has laws that have been created to assist in protecting and compensating the grieving family members. There is also a time limit on when a lawsuit can be filed for wrongful death. Contact Greg today for a free consultation.
SLIP AND FALL
In Alaska, all property owners have an obligation to keep their premises reasonably safe and well-maintained (except for trespassers). If you are injured due to unsafe property conditions, you deserve to be compensated.
NEGLIGENCE
Negligence is the failure to exercise the degree of care that another sensible person would under similar circumstances. For instance, all motorists have a duty of care to drive safely. Property owners have an obligation to keep their premises in good shape. Anything that deviates from what a reasonable person would do could constitute negligence.
In personal injury and wrongful death cases, negligence is determined by:
-
Analyzing any police or accident reports
-
Consulting accident reconstruction data
-
Viewing photos and videos of the accident itself
-
Reviewing your medical records
-
Interviewing witnesses
-
Examining black box data
-
Investigating the accident’s circumstances
Greg will help with all of these tasks. If another party was negligent and caused your injuries, we’ll get to the bottom of what happened.
PREMISES LIABILITY
Premises liability is the area of law determining when property owners or tenants are responsible for the injuries suffered on their property. In certain circumstances, when you are injured on the property of a person, business, or municipality, then the landowner or tenant may be responsible for compensating you for your injuries. This is usually true when you are a guest or customer and incur injuries due to a hidden defect. After a dangerous property accident, call our office right away at (907) 376-2800. We will thoroughly investigate your situation to determine what happened and why you got hurt. We will analyze the evidence to find out whether the property owner or tenant is liable for your injuries. If so, we can easily guide you through a premises liability insurance claim or lawsuit.
DOG BITES
Dog bites can cause serious injuries and trauma to victims. The period after the bite can be especially confusing as you recover from your injuries and consider your next steps. During this process, one of the most important steps will be to contact experienced dog bite lawyers to potentially help you pursue any compensation you may be entitled to for your injuries.
Why Do I Need a Lawyer Following a Dog Bite?
Determining who is at fault is complicated. As a victim, you don’t want to create a hostile relationship between you and the dog owner. However, you may also require medical attention and the cost of a one-time hospital visit can be extremely expensive. For those and other reasons, it’s necessary to hire an experienced personal injury attorney who’s represented victims of dog bites.
Hiring a dog bite attorney with experience will not only give you peace of mind that you took the right step, but it will also save you from paying costly medical bills using your own money. Lawyers are:
-
Knowledgeable in laws regarding dog bites in the state

Fair compensation can make up for lost earnings. Crash related medical expenses, and rehabilitation.

You have a right to hold the responsible person liable for their reckless or negligent acts. You can make a difference, an award of damages against a negligent or reckless driver can serve as a warning to other potentially dangerous drivers. Your case may even make Alaskan roads safer. Insurance companies for negligent or reckless drivers will do all they can to avoid responsibility, trying to get out cheap. That is why you need an experienced MVA attorney to stand up for your rights, and to get you paid what you are owed.
MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT
Motorcycle riders are at greater risk of serious personal injury than automobile drivers. To make matters worse drivers do not always keep a proper lookout for bikes. We know what it is like to be on the road when cars and truck do not watch for you. We will hold drivers to their responsibilities to follow the rules of the road to keep motorcyclists safe in Alaska.
TRUCK ACCIDENT
Truck accidents in Alaska can happen for many different reasons, but the aftermath is always consistent. When a truck accident happens due to the negligence of a truck driver, trucking company, truck manufacturer, or any other party, the at-fault party must be held responsible. Believe it or not, most truck accidents could have been stopped if the necessary road safety rules and regulations were followed. Some of the primary causes of truck accidents include the following:
-
Truck drivers speeding to because they’re late
-
Tired and fatigued truck drivers
-
Distracted driving
-
Drunk Driving
-
Overloaded trailers
-
Truck tire blowouts
-
Manufacturer defects
