Motor Vehicle Collisions in Honolulu

Serious motor vehicle collisions occur at an alarming rate in the United States and across Hawaii. In fact, on average, the United States sees over six million crashes each year. These accidents injure and end the lives of numerous people annually.

Unfortunately, most of these accidents are caused by negligent drivers. Drivers who choose to operate their vehicles while over-tired, intoxicated, distracted, or at unsafe speeds risk their own lives and the lives of everyone else around them.

Something as simple as answering a phone call or checking your texts may turn into a dangerous situation that could end the lives of those involved. Driver negligence has become one of the most common reasons individuals suffer serious injuries and even lose their lives in the United States.  Currently, more than 11,000 people are killed due to speeding each year across the country. And when drivers travel at unsafe speeds, it reduces their ability to react if they encounter a dangerous situation, and it can make a traffic collision much more dangerous. Two vehicles colliding at high speeds will almost always result in severe injuries and fatalities for the involved parties.

In Hawaii, driver negligence is illegal. When the actions of a negligent driver cause another person to sustain injuries, the injured party is able to file a personal injury claim for financial compensation so they can recover financially. The costs that stem from sustaining a serious accident injury can be overwhelming, ranging in the tens of thousands.  Not only do serious traffic collisions cost a lot of money, but they may also drain your time and energy. You could be stuck in the hospital, unable to work while you go through exhausting and invasive medical procedures.
