How long you have to file a civil claim in Alaska

Read this before the table — it matters more than the numbers.

These are the statutes as written. They are not your deadline. When the clock starts (the “accrual” date) and whether it pauses (tolling, the discovery rule, a minor or incapacity) depends on the specific facts of your situation — and a missed deadline can permanently and irreversibly bar your claim. If you think you may have a claim, do not rely on this page to calculate your time: talk to a licensed attorney in Alaska right away. This atlas informs and routes; it is not legal advice and not a lawyer.

What these figures are

RECORDED — each period and statute citation is the statute as written; verify it at the linked official code. Last verified 2026-04-29.
NOT YOUR DEADLINE — accrual, tolling, the discovery rule, and exceptions make your actual deadline fact-specific. Only a licensed attorney can tell you your date.
