Hawaii Pedestrian Crashes

Traffic accidents are common in Hawaii and throughout the United States. Over 6 million accidents are reported yearly throughout the country. Of these crashes, about 3 million people suffer injuries, and more than 40,000 lose their lives. A percentage of these wrecks involve pedestrians. Yearly, approximately 6 thousand pedestrians are killed in the US. Unfortunately, the majority of traffic accidents involving pedestrians are caused by negligence. When you or a loved one have been seriously injured in an accident, it is important that you know where to turn for help. 

When you’re injured in a pedestrian accident, you may be suffering from a multitude of different injuries, ranging from broken bones to total paralysis. Depending on the severity of your injuries and the reason your accident occurred, you may be able to recover financial compensation for the cost of medical care. You may also be eligible to gather compensation for a slew of other damages, including vehicle repairs, lost wages, and even intangible damages like pain, suffering, loss of life enjoyment, embarrassment, and more.
