Damages Allocation in Alaska

Under Alaska law, damages are allocated among multiple defendants according to the rule of several liability set out in Alaska Stat. § 09.17.060. This statute governs how a factfinder apportions fault and assigns each defendant responsibility for only their proportionate share of the total damages. The law does not impose joint liability for economic or noneconomic losses; instead, each defendant pays the percentage of the award that corresponds to their assigned fault. The statute provides the specific method for calculating these shares and outlines exceptions. The worked example below demonstrates how this allocation operates in practice. For a precise estimate of damages in your situation, use the DocketMath calculator, which applies the statutory rule directly from the official source.
