What To Do After Being Hit by a Car as a Pedestrian in Hawaii
If a car hits you as a pedestrian in Hawaii, your first priority is to seek medical attention immediately, even if you do not feel seriously hurt right away. Pedestrian accidents frequently cause internal injuries, head trauma, and soft tissue damage that may not produce obvious symptoms at the scene.
Once you are safe, call 911 if police have not already responded. An official police report documents the facts of the accident and identifies the driver involved. Ask for the driver’s name, contact information, license plate number, and insurance details before they leave the scene. If witnesses saw what happened, collect their names and phone numbers as well.
Hawaii’s no-fault insurance system requires drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection coverage, known as PIP. As a pedestrian struck by a vehicle, you may be able to access the driver’s PIP coverage to help pay for initial medical expenses.
Pedestrians generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in Hawaii. Acting quickly helps preserve evidence and gives a Honolulu pedestrian accident attorney enough time to review medical records, gather witness statements, and build a thorough case. Waiting too long can make it harder to establish what happened and may affect your ability to pursue compensation.
