Our thoughts are with everyone affected by this crash.

How Do I Report a Car Accident in Kahului, HI?

You can report a car accident in Kahului by calling 911 when someone is injured, the roadway is blocked, or the crash creates an immediate danger. For a less serious collision, exchange information with the other driver and report the crash to your insurance company.

When it is safe to do so, move your vehicle out of active traffic. If the vehicle cannot be moved, remain in a secure place away from passing cars until emergency crews arrive.

If police investigate the crash, give a clear account of what you remember. Describe what you saw and did without guessing about another driver’s speed, actions, or responsibility for the collision.

Before leaving, collect the other driver’s name, phone number, driver’s license information, license plate number, and insurance details. You can also photograph the vehicles, roadway, traffic signs, and visible damage if it is safe to take pictures.

Because Hawaii follows a no-fault auto insurance system, Personal Injury Protection coverage may pay certain medical expenses regardless of who caused the collision. Your policy limits and the type of treatment you receive can affect how those benefits apply.

If pain or other symptoms appear after the crash, getting medical care can help identify an injury and create a record of your treatment. Some symptoms, including stiffness, headaches, back pain, and dizziness, may become more noticeable hours after a collision.

When you open an insurance claim, provide accurate information and keep records of claim numbers, medical bills, repair estimates, and correspondence. Organized documentation can make it easier to track expenses and address questions that arise during the claim.

If your injuries are serious, your medical expenses exceed available no-fault benefits, or there is a dispute over insurance coverage, a Kahului car accident lawyer can review the circumstances and explain what additional claims may be available.
