Time and again, products have been designed to be more safe because a manufacturer was sued by a trial lawyer. \u00a0For more information about the American Association of Justice, see:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.justice.org\/cps\/rde\/xchg\/justice\/hs.xsl\/16.htm\">http:\/\/www.justice.org\/cps\/rde\/xchg\/justice\/hs.xsl\/16.htm<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Keenan Powell has more than 30 years experience representing injured Alaskans in Anchorage and the Valley.\u00a0For a free consultation, fill out the contact form or call 907 258 7663.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For many years, I have been proud of my role as a trial attorney in making a difference in people's lives. \u00a0I have helped people overcome tragedy and I have helped people begin new lives. \u00a0I have helped people obtain the medical care that they need and money to pay their bills when someone harmed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.keenanpowell.com\/blog\/2014\/01\/01\/trial-attorneys-making-a-difference\/\" class=\"more-link\">...continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> \"Trial Attorneys Making a Difference\"<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-297","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-personal-injury-2","7":"h-entry","8":"hentry","9":"h-as-article"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
