According to the State Department of Alaska, they have some of the most dangerous jobs in
the U.S. There were 384 work related deaths between 2001 and 2011.
Fishing and flying are two of the most sought after jobs in Alaska. Many men
work for commercial fishing companies while others are seeking jobs as pilots.
Both of these have brought about many of the work related deaths that happen
throughout the past 10 years.
Another job that causes for many injuries, including fatal ones, is construction and building/contracting types of jobs.
Construction jobs require working in unsafe and hazardous work environments while using
dangerous, heavy machinery and equipment.
Being employed at any of the above jobs can be very dangerous. The money may
be good and you may enjoy the thrill of danger, but it is important to follow all
safety regulations related to your job of choice. Otherwise, you could end up one
of the many who suffer serious or even fatal injuries.

accidents, but especially maritime, aircraft, and construction accidents. If you
ever find yourself in a work related accident, call an Alaska accident lawyer right
