In 2009, traffic crashes injured an estimated 5,330 Alaskans and killed 64. Accidents do happen, but when they happen to you, you should always be prepared. If you’ve been injured in a car accident or on the job, filing a personal injury claim could get your the compensation you deserve.
What is a personal injury claim? This type of claim can be filed when a person’s self is hurt or damaged by another person’s negligence. A personal injury claim does not include property damage in any way, but can be filed after car accidents, pedestrian accidents, and defective product claims.
Unintentional injury, such as from defective products, remains the third leading cause of death in Alaska, while nearly two pedestrians died in vehicle crashes out of every 100,000 in the U.S.
