Major Vehicle Accidents in Hawaii

Car accidents happen every day in Hawaii. Tens of thousands suffer injuries in these crashes every year, while some even lose their lives. Those who end up hurt in collisions must often face difficult consequences related to their injuries. Not only are they painful, but they can also result in financial burdens that can be hard to tackle alone. 

If you or a loved one were recently injured in an accident, you may suffer psychological trauma and incapacitating injuries. Depending on the severity of your injuries, you may be hospitalized for an extended period. You may be unable to return to employment, which could strain your finances. Consequently, you may be concerned about the costs associated with your accident. A severe car accident injury can, on average, cost between $10,000 and $50,000.

Unfortunately, according to statistics, the increasing number of automobile collisions in the United States is caused by motorist negligence. Drunk driving, speeding, driver preoccupation, and driver fatigue are the four primary causes of driver negligence in Hawaii and nationwide. In the United States, nine out of ten automobile collisions are caused by careless drivers. These facts point to the likelihood that a negligent driver caused your accident.
