Having an Alaska Injury Lawyer's business card in your wallet at all times is probably one of the best safety precautions you can make. This elite group of attorneys knows their way through the forest of loopholes and red tape often presented by insurance companies in their attempts at cutting costs. This knowledge can be put to direct use in assisting your healing, by giving you a peace of mind that lowers the stress these claims can place on a victim. The less stress, the more time you get to spend enjoying life the way it was before the accident.
By no means does this imply that you are not a safe driver. In fact, it declares the exact opposite: that you are prepared for the worst, and make the attempt to expect the unexpected. Among all Alaska motor vehicle accident deaths, about 64% were due to roadway departures, 13% were intersection related, 4% fatalities in crashes involving large trucks, and 12 non-motorist (pedestrians and bicyclists) fatalities. Of 95 motorists killed in motor-vehicle crashes 36% were passenger car occupants and 32% were light truck passengers. Further, 95 people died in an Alaska car crash in 2003. Car crashes cost the Alaska 0.475 billion dollars in 2000. Alcohol was involved in more than 3 out of 10 of Alaska's car crash deaths. Also, speed was a factor in 41% of Alaska car crash deaths, costing the state 87 million dollars in 2000.
These may seem like odds you can beat by yourself, do you really want to risk it? Why not hedge your bets with a safety net: keeping an Anchorage auto accident lawyer on file. This way, just in case the worst happens, you're prepared. You'll have a knowledgeable contender in the ring with you instead of against you.
