Hickam Housing Personal Injury Lawyer

The Hickam Housing area is home to more than 7,500 people and occupies a portion of land formally known as the Hickam Air Force Base on the island of Oahu. Although this community is less than 5-square miles, it offers a lot to residents and tourists alike. Hickam Housing is home to Kamehameha Beach, Hickam Beach, and one of the area’s most popular diving areas.

Although most residents and tourists travel through the area without any issues, we frequently see people suffer injuries and accidents. Quite often, these accidents are caused by the negligent and reckless actions of others.

Common Injuries from Personal Injury Accidents

Individuals in Honolulu and across the island of Oahu are often left with life-altering injuries due to being involved in a severe accident. Our lawyers genuinely understand the challenges that victims face. For this reason, we are committed to helping victims protect their legal rights as they focus on recovering from their injuries.

Some of the most common injuries that we help clients recover from include:

Broken bones: One of the most common injuries victims suffer in accidents is broken bones. These injuries often require casting and surgery. In many instances, victims have to go through months of therapy.

Head injuries: Suffering any trauma to the head can result in permanent disabilities. Many people suffer traumatic brain injuries, blunt force trauma to the head, and even skull fractures due to their accidents.

Spinal cord injuries: There are many instances where victims suffer severe spinal cord injuries in accidents. These injuries can lead to some form of paralysis. When victims suffer “complete” spinal cord injuries, it typically means that they will never be able to walk again. Victims who suffer “incomplete” spinal cord injuries may be able to recover by undergoing extensive therapy and medical treatment.

Crushing injuries: These injuries are typically caused by motor vehicle accidents where victims are crushed or pinned inside their vehicles. We also see these crushing injuries result from poorly maintained property and when people are trapped under heavy machinery and objects. These injuries can result in multiple broken bones, spinal cord injuries, and life-long disabilities.

Internal organ injuries: There are many instances where people suffer internal organ damage from their accidents. Suffering a ruptured spleen, a lung puncture, or another internal injury can be life-threatening. These injuries often require emergency medical care.

Victims of these and other severe injuries in accidents must receive adequate and timely medical care. However, no amount of treatment can guarantee that a victim will make a full recovery.

Thousands of people are permanently disabled due to accidents every year. For this reason, victims must seek the assistance of a knowledgeable law firm right away. Even though the statute of limitations provides up to two years for victims to pursue legal action, waiting can jeopardize your chances of making a full recovery.
