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.
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 especially important to hire an Alaska Personal Injury Attorney as soon as possible who is experienced in handling motorcycle accident cases.
Collisions involving large commercial trucks often cause catastrophic injuries and deaths. Such collisions can be caused by unsafe driving by the truck driver, but can also be caused by unsafe actions and decisions by the trucking company, truck owners, or dispatchers, by faulty equipment, or a combination of all of these. 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.
Commercial fishing is one of the most dangerous jobs and injuries often happen. Injured maritime workers, seamen, and commercial fishermen are protected by special laws protect. 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 & Associates, PC, represents more injured commercial fishermen and other seamen than any other law firm in Alaska.
Cruise ship passengers are entitled to compensation if they are injured due to unreasonable actions or mistakes made by the cruise company, its employees or representatives, or caused by 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. Contact an experienced attorney right away if you or a loved one is injured on a cruise, an excursion or an activity relating to a cruise. There is no time to lose in this situation!

During the summer, Alaskans and visitors to Alaska are on the water. For many, boating is the main form of transportation. Whether transportation or recreation, accidents involving boats happen just the same as car accidents. When someone injures or kills another through unsafe operation of a boat or other watercraft, that person must be held responsible for the harm they cause.
Dogs can cause terrible injuries when they attack. Dog owners owe a duty to keep their dog under control. They must protect others from an aggressive dog. When owners fail to act reasonably to protect others from their dog, they are liable for all of the resulting injuries and losses. Losses including past and future medical bills, lost earnings, pain and suffering, and other losses. Homeowner’s insurance will often be responsible for paying for those losses.
