Being able to respond when an accident does happen, can be just as important as avoiding one. The first step we always recommend, is obtaining an accident report. An accident report may be required by the state of Alaska under the following conditions:
1) Someone is injured
2) Someone is killed
3) The damage to the vehicle(s) involved appears to be $2000 or more
Accident reports, if required, need to be submitted within 10 days of the accident. If a police officer responds to the scene of the accident, he or she should be able to provide the proper form. The form is also available at any police station, as well as online at:
