Car Accidents in Hawaii

Serious consequences can result from multi-vehicle collisions in Hawaii, especially when victims sustain injuries. Thousands of people in Hawaii suffer terrible mental and bodily trauma each year as a result of these incidents. Adding insult to injury, negligent drivers are a common cause of injuries sustained by motorists on our roadways. Disregarding the safety of other drivers on the road increases the likelihood that these collisions will occur, endangering the lives of other drivers. Whether it’s due to speeding, drunk driving, texting, or some other infraction, these careless drivers put innocent motorists at risk daily.

What’s more, it is often quite difficult to get back on your feet after suffering injuries in a vehicle accident, given the physical and emotional stress during the aftermath. Traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and other serious injuries often necessitate long periods of recovery and taxing medical treatment. Of course, victims and their loved ones frequently find it difficult to pick up the pieces after suffering injuries, especially after a family member dies.

For example, in one recent year, over 11,000 people were killed due to auto accidents caused by speeding. Speeding is one of the most dangerous types of driver negligence because it leaves drivers no time to stop in case of an accident and increases the dangers and risk of catastrophic injuries in the case of a crash.
