Recreational Vehicle & Bicycle Injuries in Anchorage
Recreational Vehicles
Thousands of people throughout Alaska use recreational vehicles each year on our trails, waterways, and roads. Many people think of recreational vehicles as some form of a camper; however, the definition of recreational vehicle has been expanded to include a wide variety of motorized vehicles used for recreation and transportation. Types of recreational vehicles used throughout Alaska include:
- Boats, wave runners, and jet skis
- Motorhomes and campervans
- ATVs (all-terrain vehicles), including three wheelers and four wheelers
- Dirt bikes, scooters, mopeds, mini-bikes, and motorcycles
- Fifth-wheels and camper trailers
- Dune buggies and go-karts
Unfortunately, thousands of people are injured and killed each year in recreational vehicle accidents. Operators, passengers, and bystanders can suffer traumatic, life-altering injuries due to recreational vehicle accidents. Causes of recreational vehicle accidents range from operator inexperience and dangerous property conditions to mechanical and/or design defects and faulty repair work.
Regardless of the reason for a recreational vehicle accident, recovering compensation for damages can be challenging because liability in these kinds of accidents is not always easy to determine or to prove. Liability for a recreational vehicle accident could lie with the designer, manufacturer, distributor, repair shop, driver, property owner, third party, or any combination of parties. A personal injury attorney must conduct a thorough investigation into the facts and circumstances surrounding the accident to determine the liable parties and to identify key evidence to use to prove liability.
Only by proving liability can you receive compensation for your injuries in these accidents. Insurance companies for the at-fault party try to blame recreational vehicle accidents on the driver by claiming the driver was reckless or careless in his or her operation. As experienced accident attorneys, we understand these tactics and we know how to fight these unfair tactics to ensure you receive a fair and just settlement for your injuries, losses, and damages.
Bicycle Accidents
Bicycles are a wonderful form of recreation, exercise, and low-cost transportation. Unfortunately, thousands of people are killed and injured in bicycle accidents in Anchorage and throughout Alaska each year. Nearly one-third of all bicycle accidents are caused by motor vehicle accidents. Bicycles, like motorcycles, are smaller and much harder to see on roads. While this is no excuse, drivers of motor vehicles do not pay sufficient attention to bicycles thereby causing many accidents resulting in fatalities and injuries.
