Protecting The Rights Of Accident Victims
by Kristen White BloggerHow to Find the Right Lawyer
There are over 2,000 attorneys in Alaska. What constitutes the attorneys who will make you the most comfortable and achieve for you the best results? Such factors include, but are not limited to:
- Ability to identify with different types of people. Arrogant attorneys will give you a bad impression. They will also give judges, jurors and other attorneys a bad impression, something likely to prevent a positive result. Indeed, when your attorney can identify with and endear themselves to others involved, you are likely to see a greater recovery.
- They have overcome their own personal adversity. An attorney that has had difficulties in her own life is typically more grounded than those who have skated through life with ease. When an attorney appreciates what they have worked hard to achieve is going to be a better advocate than one who has no real-life experiences.
- Never admitting weakness. Your attorney, whether in court or in front of adversaries, must always project strength.
- Not getting pushed around. Similar to the above, strength is important to project.
- Experience. Any attorney can have experience, but you want an attorney with a proven track record that he has achieved consistently good results for multiple clients.
- Attention to detail. Most cases turn on one or two critical facts and, as a result, can turn on even one small issue. You want an attorney that looks for that detail and uses it to your advantage.
Now that you know what to look for in a Top Anchorage Attorney, let’s look at a specific type of claim they can handle for you.
Injuries from Motorcycle Accidents
Even though Alaska has one of the lowest rates of motorcycle accidents as compared to other States in the United States, they still happen and often lead to far more serious injuries than a run-of-the-mill automobile accident.
Such severe injuries often result in high verdicts or settlements. In 2015, there was a $2,000,000 settlement when a high-speed motorcyclist was severely injured.
In order to maximize the amount of your settlement, it is important to seek out Accident Claims Advice from a quality attorney because he or she will know that there are multiple people or entities to sue if you are injured in motorcycle accident. For example, when you collide with another vehicle, that driver should be sued. Further, when the other vehicle is owned by a business, that business should be sued. Next, when an unsmooth road is a cause of an incident, the municipality or whoever owned or was responsible for the road is also a proper defendant. If a construction zone was not properly cordoned off, a company that failed to warn of the poor road conditions is also likely subject to liability.
Typically, a plaintiff in a motorcycle accident must prove four things including: (1) the law required the defendant to be reasonably careful, (2) the defendant was not careful, (3) the defendant’s failure to use reasonable care caused the biker’s injuries and (4) the damages suffered by the motorcyclist resulted from the crash.
As you can see from the above, a top attorney is able to handle all types of personal injury cases. In addition to motorcycle accidents, you can seek accident claims advice for claims regarding slip-and-falls, defamation, police brutality and much, much more. No matter what your claim may be, do not hesitate to get the advice and representation you deserve.
