Alaska Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Eighty percent of all motorcycle accidents result in some form of injury- and nearly half of all motorcycle accidents involving other vehicles happen at intersections. Motorcycle accidents have a higher injury rate as compared to motor vehicle accidents, as a result of the lack of a protective outer shell and a lack of passive protective systems such as seatbelts and airbags.

Common situations that result in motorcycle accidents are:
- A vehicle pulls out in front of a motorcycle
- Rear ending – where a motorcycle has come to a sudden stop and is hit by a vehicle from behind the motorcycle
- A vehicle turns in front of an oncoming motorcycle
- Where a motor vehicle cuts a corner while negotiating a bend and hits a motorcycle or pushes it off the road
Two common injuries associated with motorcycle injuries are:
- Head injuries – this is often due to Alaska’s helmet law that does not require persons over the age of eighteen to wear a helmet when operating a motorcycle. Such injuries include mild to severe concussions, headaches, memory loss, and nausea.
- Road rash – this is term used to describe friction abrasions to the skin caused by sliding across the road or pavement during or after a motorcycle accident without proper protection. Road rash injuries can lead to permanent skin damage and irritation and/or infections.
