Alaska Car Accident Lawyers
An auto accident changes your life in an instant.
The accident can cause devastating injuries that leave you overwhelmed, confused, and frustrated. The injuries affect every aspect of your life. You may not be able to go back to work until you heal, which means missed paychecks and less money to pay your bills. You may have expensive medical bills from doctor’s visits, prescription medication, physical therapy, or even surgery that you can’t pay.
On top of the financial difficulties, injuries severely impact your personal life. You may not be able to spend time with family or friends, you may not be able to participate in your favorite hobbies, and you may experience pain just going about your daily chores.
If you’ve been injured or lost a loved one in a car or automobile accident, you deserve justice for your suffering.
When the accident was clearly the fault of another driver, you should not be held responsible for it. There was no way to prevent it, and no way to plan for it. Not even the most prepared of people can foresee the future. Medical bills can drain your rainy day fund within days; insurance companies will not always reimburse you for those bills and are even less likely to pay back all of your lost wages. Your time in the hospital comes with an enormous price tag; it also costs you all the time away from your job. You’ve been responsible in insuring your car, driving defensively, and saving money in an emergency fund, but what happens when that’s not enough?
According to the Alaska Department of Transportation, the most recently reported year (2010) showed that the Fairbanks North Star Borough was the only area that had an increased number of car accidents from the previous year. The same report also showed that the severity of the crashes is decreasing dramatically between 2000 and 2010. Even as people become increasingly aware of the consequences of car accidents, some drivers are still not as cautious as they could be.
Understandably, you may be trying to forget the actual accident. When you replay the sounds, visuals, and emotions of that day, it may be a blur of intentionally hazy details. Unfortunately, the other consequences of the accident are still all too present.
