Hauʻula Personal Injury Lawyers

Hau’ula is a rural community on the island of Oahu which has about 4,000 residents. The area boasts several beautiful beaches and parks, attracting tourists daily. Though the area is generally considered quite safe, accidents can happen when negligent or reckless behavior is a factor. 

When a person brings harm to someone else through negligence or recklessness, the injured person has the right to file a personal injury claim for compensation. In most cases, such as in a car wreck, the responsible party likely is covered by insurance, which is who will pay out to you if you have a successful claim. Don’t make assumptions about whether you think the person who hurt you can afford to pay compensation – there may be factors at play to ensure you can still be compensated, and only a personal injury attorney can advise you about your specific situation. 

If you have been injured in an accident in the Hau’ula area that you feel was someone else’s fault, you should consider contacting one of our Honolulu personal injury attorneys to discuss whether filing a personal injury claim is a good idea in your situation.

Common Injuries From Personal injury Accidents

Being harmed in any type of accident can result in severe injuries that require immediate and ongoing medical treatment, surgery, and sometimes, long-term care. Some of the most common injuries seen in personal injury matters include the following: 

• Broken bones/compound fractures
• Burn injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries

If you are injured in an accident, our personal injury law firm can help you negotiate with the insurance company to get you the best possible settlement, with enough compensation to cover not only your current and future medical bills but also the wages you would have earned had you not been injured, and much more.
