Motorcycle Accidents in Hawaii
Motorcycle accidents happen all the time in the United States and throughout Hawaii. Due to its beautiful weather and scenery, motorcycling is extremely popular in the Aloha State. Sadly, those who become involved in motorcycle accidents are usually more severely injured than those who sustain injuries in other types of traffic accidents. This is primarily due to the obvious fact that motorcycle riders travel with little to no protection while out on the road.
Additionally, most motorcycle crashes are caused by driver negligence. Over half of the reported motorcycle crashes in the United States are caused by the actions of distracted, intoxicated, fatigued, or speeding drivers. The most common type of negligence that contributes to motorcycle crashes in the United States is currently failing to yield the right of way. Common motorcycle injuries include:
- Traumatic Brain Injury
- Bone breaks/Bone Fractures
- Damage to the spine
- Disc Injury/Disc Herniation
- Death
Catastrophic injuries typically lead to catastrophic economic damages, as well as extreme non-economic damages. From hospital bills to lost earnings to intense pain and suffering, the economic impacts of a motorcycle crash can be absolutely ruinous to accident victims and their families. If you or someone you love were hurt in a motorcycle crash in Hawaii, you should consider how the accident occurred. If it was caused by the actions of a negligent driver, you probably have legal options available that can help you recover.
The financial ramifications that stem from a motorcycle crash must be handled as soon as possible. Being stuck in the hospital and unable to work while bills are piling up can be stressful and overwhelming. You may be eligible to collect financial compensation for a wide array of damages that resulted from your accident.
Since July 2015, the law in Hawaii does not require motorcyclists to carry insurance. Due to this, riders who are injured by another driver’s negligence and do not have insurance have no choice but to turn to the insurance of the liable driver.
