Premises Liability Laws in Alaska.

Alaska premises-liability law is largely common law, applying a general reasonable-care standard to landowners and occupiers. The 2-year personal-injury statute of limitations in AS 09.10.070 applies to most premises claims, and Alaska’s pure comparative-fault system means a partially at-fault plaintiff can still recover a reduced award.
