Alaska Supreme Court
L.d.g., Inc. and Estate of Larry Gjovig v. Arthur S. Robinson
December 14, 20122012 Alas. LEXIS 168
Summary
The Alaska Supreme Court held that a legal-malpractice complaint should not have been dismissed merely because the attorney's decision involved an unsettled issue of dram-shop and comparative-fault law. The complaint adequately alleged that counsel breached the professional standard of care by failing to consider joining the murderer for fault allocation, and the court remanded for further proceedings. No separate opinions were provided.
