Our Practice Areas
The Law Office of Kenneth A. Norsworthy LLC is dedicated to assisting individuals and families with legal issues that affect their lives.
- Personal injury : We handle cases involving all types of accidents, including but not limited to automobile, boating, aviation, industrial, slip and fall, and use of defective products. Sometimes injuries that require only minimal medical treatment result in significant pain and suffering, permanent disability and/or mental and emotional anguish. These are still injuries for which you should be compensated. To accurately evaluate your claim as to the likely range of damages it would yield in a settlement and a judgment at trial you will need to provide us with all applicable incident and medical records.
- Insurance law : Insurance policies are legal contracts. The insurer owes its insured a duty of good faith and fair dealing with respect to all questions of coverage and claims processing and payment. In some cases where the insurer can be shown to have acted in bad faith toward the insured in order to either wrongly deny coverage or undervalue a covered claim the courts will award additional damages to an insured in a lawsuit brought against its insurer, including potentially large awards of punitive damages in addition to compensatory damages for actual losses.
- Military law : We represent military members under investigation and/or facing charges for violations of military administrative regulations and/or criminal violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). We also, represent military dependents for claims under the Federal Tort Claims Act relating to personal injury, death and property loss caused by the negligence or intentional acts of military members or civil servant employees of the federal agency involved, including military hospital medical malpractice claims. Whtether or not you still reside in Alaska, we can help.
- Employment law : Our firm represents employees in disputes with their employer over numerous types of issues that routinely arise in the hiring and firing process and in the work place environment. The types of case issues we routinely represent employees in include but are not necessarily limited to: discrimination based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, age and disability, sexual or other harassment, hostile work environment, breach of contract, wrongful demotion, termination or other adverse disciplinary actions.
- Medical Negligence : We represent patients in claims against medical care givers, including hospitals, individual physicians, nurses, dentists and other care givers for injuries and death resulting from sub-standard care. It is most important to obtain an evaluation of your claim at the very earliest indication that you or your family member has suffered an injury from an error by the care giver due to the strict time limits that apply to these claims.
