• speeding

• tailgating or other forms of aggression
• drowsy driving
• drunk driving and driving under the influence of drugs
• illegal driving maneuvers

When another person has caused the accident, you are entitled to compensation for your injuries including lost wages, medical bills, vehicle and other property damage, out-of-pocket expenses, pain and suffering, inconvenience and future care costs. But negotiating this compensation with an insurance company can be difficult and should not distract your focus from getting better.

Motorcyclists often suffer devasting injuries from motor vehicle accidents. With little protection between the biker and the roadway or other objects, a biker is eight times more liekly to be injured and 37 times more likely to die in an accident than a vehicle occupant. Three-fourths of motorcycle accidents involve collisions with another vehicle and about one-third of motorcycle crashes are a result of the other vehicle turning into the path of a motorcycle.

Though local motorcycle communities like A.B.A.T.E. of Alaska offer educational opportunities to motorcyclists, a biker cannot control the conduct of other drivers on the road. When those other drivers on the road are careless or negligent, the consequences can be catastrophic to the motorcyclist.

When a bicycle accident is caused by distracted or negligent driving, if not fatal a cyclist can be left with catastrophic injuries including brain and spinal injuries. In fact, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration records a fatal injury to a bicyclist every six hours nationwide. Many of these tragic accidents could have easily been avoided.

Bicycle crashes and cyclist injuries can be caused by drunk driving, distracted driving, a driver’s failure to yield to the bicyclist. The injury to the cyclist can be devastating and result in medical bills, lost wages, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.

Whether an accident involves a bus, motor coach, tourist bus, school bus, private shuttle, or any other form of public or private transport, the bus accident attorneys at Power & Power Law can help.

Accordingy to the National Highway Traffice Safety Administration, approximately 300 fatal bus crashes occur annually in the United States. During Alaskan summers, the rise of tourism increases the risk to bus passengers and other drivers on the road.

When we board a bus, we rely on the bus driver to get us to our destination safely. The driver owes us the “utmost care” and “vigilance.” When an accident is caused by the driver’s negligence, recklessness, distracted diriving, or driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the driver and his company are liable for the injuries or death resulting from the accident.

If the accident is the result of a defective bus, including faulty brakes or improper bus maintenance, the bus company is liable for the injuries or death resulting from the accident.
