Statute-of-limitations rules have many exceptions that can extend or pause the clock. The most common in Alaska:
Occupational disease — Discovery rule
§23.30.105(a) explicitly conditions clock on knowledge of nature and work-relation, with disablement as second prong; the 4-year outer cap does not apply to occupational disease.
