Car Accidents

Almost all car accidents happen because one or more of the drivers involved failed to act reasonably for the road and vehicle conditions at the time. The law requires that every driver use reasonable care to avoid hitting other vehicles, people, and other objects. Basically, every driver is responsible for driving safely. If you or someone you love has been injured or killed because someone else failed to drive safely for the conditions, you are entitled to be compensated for all of your expenses and losses.

Motorcycle Accidents

Part of driving safely includes keeping a sharp lookout for other vehicles, including motorcycles. Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable to serious injuries and death in accidents caused by the failure of other drivers to drive safely. When a collision occurs between a car and a motorcycle, the insurance company for the unsafe driver will often try to blame the motorcyclist for part or all of the accident. For these reasons, it is critical you hire an Alaska Personal Injury Attorney as soon as possible to motorcycle accident cases.

Truck Accidents

Collisions involving large commercial trucks often cause catastrophic injuries and deaths. Such collisions result from unsafe driving by the truck driver. The trucking company’s, owner’s or dispatcher’s unsafe actions also contribute to commercial trucking accidents. In addition faulty equipment or a combination of all of these factors cause accidents. Sometimes, trucking companies can be held responsible for injuries and deaths caused by their failure to act reasonably when they hired the driver, failed to properly train, or failed to have and enforce proper policies and procedures to protect others on the roads. Sometimes the companies are held responsible for the actions of their employee drivers. The insurance companies for large commercial vehicles defend claims against trucking companies very aggressively.

The Alaska Personal Injury Attorney for Commercial Fishing Injury Claims

Commercial fishing is one of the most dangerous jobs and injuries often happen. Special laws protect injured maritime workers, seamen, and commercial fishermen. Employers and the vessel interests must pay for medical treatment, room and board during treatment. Injured sea workers should receive the same wages they would have earned while working on the boat. If the injuries are caused by someone else’s mistake, or anything faulty on the boat or other equipment, the seaman may also be entitled to make a claim for pain and suffering and other lost income in the future. Johnson Law, PC, represents more injured commercial fishermen and other seamen than any other law firm in Alaska.

Cruise Ship Injuries

Cruise ship passengers are entitled to compensation for injuries caused by the cruise company, its employees or representatives, or faulty equipment or facilities. These claims are subject to laws that are different that laws governing claims for injuries on land. All cruise ship passengers need to be aware that there are VERY STRICT AND VERY SHORT DEADLINES FOR GIVING NOTICE OF CLAIMS AND FOR FILING SUIT against the cruise lines or its contractors.

Sometimes these very short deadlines apply to claims against tours, activities, transportation and concessions on land. Activities booked or scheduled through the cruise lines or in any way connected with the cruise line also have claim deadlines.

Whether transportation or recreation, accidents involving boats happen just the same as car accidents.
