Kawaihae Personal Injury Lawyers

Being severely injured in an accident means you may have the right to collect compensation to cover your related expenses. If someone else caused your injuries, whether through negligence or willful intent, there is a good chance that person or persons can be held financially liable for their actions in a civil court of law.

In order to recover a fair settlement from the defendant’s insurance company for your injuries, you should seek the guidance of a Hawaii personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after you get hurt. This helps to ensure that you receive the maximum amount of compensation possible, whether you suffered injuries in a car accident, as a result of medical malpractice, in a slip and fall injury, or due to another type of carelessness or negligent act. Without an attorney representing you, the insurance company may try to deny your claim or offer you a settlement far below what you are legally entitled to.

Some of the damages our Kawaihae personal injury lawyers will help you recover compensation for include:

• Medical expenses: This includes both past and future medical bills related to your injuries, such as hospitalization, any medications you require, and any costs for medications and therapy.
• Lost wages: If your injuries have prevented you from returning to work for several days or weeks after your crash, you may be able to recover lost wages for the time you were unable to work. If you are unable to work for the foreseeable future, you may have the right to claim future lost wages as well.
• Pain and suffering: This is a type of non-economic damage that compensates you for the pain and suffering you experience as a result of your injuries, going through medical care, and any permanent scarring or disfigurement. A Hawaii personal injury lawyer can help you determine the financial value you can claim for pain and suffering.
• Punitive damages: In some cases, the court may award punitive damages if the defendant’s actions were grossly negligent. This is extra monetary compensation above and beyond the expenses you have incurred.
