Dangerous Roadways

Governmental Liability in Auto Accidents

Dangerous Roads Due to Construction, Maintenance or Design

In Alaska, sometimes dangerous design of highways or inadequate maintenance causes or contributes to accidents. Other cases involve inadequate warnings or even unsafe construction zones. If you were seriously injured or a family member was killed, the Law Office of Gregory J. Grebe knows how to pursue a liability claim against the government entity or construction company responsible.

I have practiced in Alaska for over 30 years, and I have secured a number of personal injury recoveries in dangerous roadway cases. Based in Anchorage, I represent clients in Wasilla, Palmer, Kenai, Soldotna and throughout the surrounding region. Call me at 1-800-490-3946 to discuss your possible claim.

Dangerous Roads Accidents

You may have a case if your injuries stemmed from:

• Road and highway maintenance: unrepaired potholes, accumulations of snow or ice, failure to treat black ice, foliage obscuring signs
• Road construction: inadequate warnings, uneven pavement, sudden lane detours
• Road design and signage: insufficient banking on curves, sharp turns, shoulder drop-offs; confusing, missing or poorly placed signs and traffic signals

I have successfully filed claims with the state of Alaska or others responsible for safe highways. For example, I obtained a multi-million-dollar settlement against the State of Alaska for its failure to repair a guardrail and maintain the highway in icy conditions; my client lost his leg in the resulting accident. I collected for a client who crashed when he came suddenly upon road construction; the warning lights had been knocked down and not replaced by construction crews. The dangerous highway itself can be the cause of your accident.

I am familiar with the laws, such as the doctrine of sovereign immunity, that provide some protection to public entities like the State of Alaska and municipalities. You case deserves an evaluation by a lawyer who knows what he is doing.
