Description

COMPTON, Justice. OPINION ON REHEARING This is an appeal brought by Donald Kuhn from the judgment of the superior court dismissing his action against the State of Alaska. Kuhn had sought recovery for personal injuries and property damage arising from a single-vehicle accident he was involved in while driving his semi-tractor on the Dalton Highway (also known as the North Road) from Prudhoe Bay to Fairbanks. Kuhn alleged that the accident occurred because of the state's failure to properly maintain the highway. The state moved for summary judgment, contending that Kuhn's action is barred by a regulation requiring the owners of vehicles using the Dalton Highway to indemnify and hold harmless the state for any claims arising from use of the highway. The superior court granted the motion and this appeal followed. For the reasons set forth below, we reverse the judgment. I. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
